Then choose a model. I'd recommend starting with Gemini, but you can try Deepseek, K2 etc. for free.

These days, you can get legit good AI for free and without needing any demanding hardware on your end.

Install SillyTavern:

Then choose a model. I'd recommend starting with Deepseek R1, Deepseek V3, or Gemini.

> Deepseek R1:
- Sign up at openrouter.ai
- OpenRouter gives 50 messages daily for free, or 1,000 if you deposit $10 (the credits won't be consumed for free models, but you still need to deposit it)
- Go to openrouter.ai/settings/keys and generate an API key
- In SillyTavern, configure it like this:

- Download those presets:

https://rentry.org/DeepFluff
https://momoura.neocities.org/preset/peepsqueak-1.1-R1.json
https://momoura.neocities.org/preset/deepdeep-dropseek.json
files.catbox.moe/y1tsas.json
- Import them like this:
files.catbox.moe/jqrz6z.PNG
- Try it out and see what you like best, and feel free to create your own later.
- Use github.com/fdoremi/STOpenR with multiple accounts if you don't want to deposit $10

> Deepseek V3:
Same setup, just use this config instead:
u.pone.rs/iAenGOqc.PNG

> Deepseek Chimera:
Same setup, but use this config:
files.catbox.moe/2kt1d5.png

Try all three and see which one you prefer.

For Deepseek with a 200 messages by day limit, you can also use:
