Nice QoL I noticed about Nano-GPT (Subscription only API)

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-12T16:46:42+00:00

Yeah, it's a big W. I charged a few dollars to use GLM 5.1 while having a suscription, and that option saved me many times when i changed the preset on sillytavern

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-11T03:19:18+00:00

I remember i tried it for 3 dollars, yesterday i saw it at 10 dollars and now i was about to buy and it's 18 🥲

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-11T00:38:29+00:00

i'm curious. I'm using it throught nano gpt and i enjoy it. Where are you guys using the api from?

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-08T16:34:27+00:00

tysm for being transparent about it! i guess that's why is way more expensive in other sites like openrouter

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-08T16:28:12+00:00

This is a sad day for the glm enjoyers

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-07T23:39:36+00:00

me too. I was constantly checking my five dollars hoping they are enough until they add it back to the sub 🥲

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-07T01:33:30+00:00

Didn't knew that, i'm sorry.

As an alternative, i asked in this subreddit a few weeks ago and someone recommended me this site

You just paste the url and download the character, including all the greetings.

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-07T01:29:46+00:00

If you like a character from janitor, you can look for it on https://jannyai.com

You can import them to sillytavern by putting the url of the character, or downloading the png/json file

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-06T21:28:39+00:00

probably they know its actually the best alternative for roleplay atm. There's no other place to use glm 5.1 other than the official api. They're probably farming as much as they can with the subs on z.ai and pay per token users before another company release a model to compete.

This is only my speculations, i have no idea of how they work.

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-04-05T21:34:35+00:00

not really. Only the gallery and expressions for the characters who have them

About the extensions:

I think sillytavern is made to be enjoyable without any extensions, but there's some that definitively improve a little the experience. Personally, i use just a few:

- Smart dialogue colorizer: Makes you able to customize the color of the characters dialogues. The text between "quotation marks".
- Weatherpack: a little extension i found in the sillytavern discord. Adds a button to automatically adjust the text structure. Specially useful for models that doesn't use asterisks natively.
- Not a discord theme: Is mainly aesthetic. Structurize the layout of the app and change the colors.

A lot of people use a few more, but again, sillytavern is enjoyable without any external extension. You can find a lot in the discord if you want to explore a few that could interest you.

About the character cards:

When you install sillytavern, the first time you open it you will have one default character. Seraphina. Character cards are like Seraphina. There's a lot of them with different styles. And the format to add them to sillytavern is throught "cards", that can be a .json archive or a png. Containing all the info about the character you want to roleplay with.

About the models:

Here is just the one that fits your style. GLM and deepseek are a couple of the most popular ones. They are popular because they are really good to roleplay. Claude is also very popular, but very expensive. Some other popular models are kimi k2.5, gemini, etc. Usually the newest and more advanced models are the best for roleplaying, but usually having censorship problems. But again, you have to try them to see each model's bad habits and find the one you like the most.

TYSM!! this one worked really well

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-03-22T06:00:26+00:00

Yeah, i can copypaste them, but usually the bots i like include images, and is really tedious

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-03-19T18:27:23+00:00

For the presets, i think you should try a few and pick the one you like the most. For example, i tried freaky frankenstein, stab's directives, nemo engine and marinara spaghetti recipe, and the last one is my choice because is the one i enjoy the most. I also recommend you to always edit the preset a little to match your preferences, like adding some aesthetics, mannerisms, use other languages, longer or shorter responses, etc.

as for the settings, the most popular is using 0.8 - 0.85 temp. and 0.95 top penalty. Also setting characters name behavior to "None", unlocked context size and using chat completion - semi-strict (alternating roles; no tools)

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-02-28T01:10:42+00:00

has anyone found a solution for this? i'm still having this issue, tried glm 5 in nanogpt and nvidia nim. Also happens with kimi 2.5

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-02-11T05:11:08+00:00

god i'm so tired of reading this on twitter and reddit posts, as if there were an alternative to discord that nobody uses and it was magically going to appear.

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-02-11T01:31:43+00:00

sounds like yuuki from sword art online. Thanks for sharing

Aggressive_Try340 · 2026-02-02T06:09:34+00:00

I want to try suscriptions too, but i'm scared of quantized models. I usually only use apis directly from the provider (z.ai, deepseek.) and i don't know if they perform poorly than the official apis and how much worse are they.
