AI Models

Sao10K

A lightweight model built on Meta's Llama 3, created by Sao10K as a merge of several roleplay-focused finetunes. The base is a couple of generations old now, but Lunaris remains a staple on AI writing platforms for its atmospheric prose and quick, expressive dialogue.

Mistral AI · NVIDIA

A 12B model from Mistral AI, built in collaboration with NVIDIA and released in 2024. A longtime favorite of the roleplaying community: it punched well above its weight at launch and, though no longer new, still sees heavy use today for its reliable, characterful writing.

Latitude Games · Gryphe

Developed by Latitude Games — the studio behind AI Dungeon — in collaboration with Gryphe Padar. Muse is a finetune of Mistral Nemo with added emotional depth and stronger character development. It was trained exclusively on second-person, present-tense prose (“you see”, “you feel”), so it performs best when you write in that style.

DeepSeek

A large, capable model from DeepSeek. It excels at creative writing — reading subtext, inventing fresh and exciting situations, and pushing the plot forward. Many writers prefer it over DeepSeek's newer releases for roleplay and storytelling.

Google

Google's open Gemma 4 model, in its 31-billion-parameter dense form. Its standout strength is instruction following — it sticks closely to your directions, making it a strong pick when you want the AI to respect specific guidance and stay on track.

Xiaomi

A popular model in the roleplaying community despite being quite new. Great at instruction following and character consistency.

Hemmingway

Hemmingway-1 is a 27-billion-parameter model trained specifically for writing prose. It excels at emmotional intelligence and sounds a lot more like a person than other larger models.
