Component Updates¶

baibot got new provider support¶

Baibot is our conversational AI bot, and this week it got Venice.ai provider support, including full set of capabilities: text, images (vision, create, edit), voice (STT/TTS), web (native search and scraping), and that new provider becomes our recommended one.

Two things make Venice the one we recommend, and they work together. It’s private: inference runs on Venice’s own GPUs or zero-data-retention partner hardware, nothing is stored, so your conversations never linger on a server or end up in a training set. And it’s unrestricted: you set the content policy, not the provider, so you can switch the filter off and the bot will talk about whatever you need, including the adult subjects other hosts are too squeamish to allow. For a bot you might tell something personal, in a moment you need it most, that pairing isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point, and it’s how we think about hosting at etke.cc.

Baibot’s quick start guide was updated to reflect that.

And now baibot supports 10 providers in total
