正式版更新太慢了吧

隔壁子都1.6了 测试版也1.6了 这里还是0.89

Great app with one big problem

I love the app, it’s responsive, there is an option for just about everything, it works great. There’s just one problem…. There is no way to force a model provider (like ONLY use DeepInfra, Fireworks, SiliconFlow, etc…) through Openrouter like you can on NativeTavern… This means I have to either set it through OpenRouter’s guardrails (exhausting when you’re changing models often), or accept it autorouting providers (which massacres cache and blows up cost.) I’d be oh so grateful for this feature to be implemented in app.

Would Like -> Could Figure Out

I think I’d like it… if I could try it and figure out how to get a free API key even just to get it to perform properly.

I don’t like paying for AI RP stuff (the only thing I really choose to pay for), but I don’t like ambiguous pricing. (Can you tell I talk to AI a lot with the phrasing?)

Yeah, if dev are reading, please advise. Want to like, will review more favorably -> don’t fully comprehend and require assistance. (My turn engine with this lol)

Anyway, human speak. I just don’t get how really to figure out if it’s worth it, and I think I have analysis paralysis from trying to figure it out.

Suggestions welcome.

比酒馆好用多了

简单 免费 好看 实用!

Love this app, and I’m enjoying watching its evolution

There’s a lot of great features, and I do think it’s very close to SillyTavern performance without the headache of a complicated setup and overly complex customizations. This is very beginner friendly—There’s just one thing I’d really like to see added alongside the Impersonate feature: An Enhance Response feature, so the LLMs can enhance and improve upon the users response before we send it. I only know of two sites with a feature like this, and it’s the best thing on those sites, neither one allows the level of customization a proper frontend does.

BTW, noticed an important feature that’s missing: Grouping for lorebooks. Lorebooks need groups to give us better fine tune control over our tokens used.
