How good Venice AI actually is?

Hey guys, i've been using free AIs for a while but finally want to get serious and pay for the service to get the best results.

Recently I've been using Grok as my go to AI for everything, it is feature rich, has very flexible limits in the free tier and gives me very detailed responses, using up to 40 web sources per response and taking its time to think when needed.

So, if it's so good and it's been working for me, why changing it?

1. I'm concerned about privacy, i don't really trust "X" nor Elon Musk with my information.

2. Even if privacy wasn't a big thing for me, SuperGrok is more expensive than other services, they charge like 30$ dollars, while the standard AI subscription is around 13-18$ dollars, in my currency that is a significant difference in price.

I've been looking for many options and tried Brave's Leo Premium, which offers a 7 day trial, but I've noticed that despite having access to really good models like Claude Opus 4.6, it is limited to give short-medium sized quick, responses, not taking advantage of the full power those models can offer.

With all of this in mind, i want to ask Pro Venice users, How good is Venice AI when it comes to Thinking, Deepsearch and detailed, structured responses? so far the pricing is fine, they apparently care about privacy and the models are unbiased and uncensored.
