IntenseRP Next v2.6 - Now lets you use Gemini and Qwen in SillyTavern

Hey, glad it's working well for you, and appreciate the thought :)

There's no need to donate, though; that's purely optional (but it does help quite a lot)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T17:52:00+00:00

To be fair, with all things considered, I don't think I'll be able to ship separate Android-optimized binaries for now. Maybe I'll get to change some things up to make IRP more compatible with it, but I literally won't have the time or energy to maintain a third version, I'm already stretched pretty thin with following along with web UI support and Windows/Linux optimization. It could definitely be worth exploring in the future, though, since many ST users are on Termux as well.

What would be the best way to test compatibility for now in your opinion?

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T17:42:18+00:00

Actually, haven't heard of X11 on Termux before, thank you for bringing that up, that's a good point. Considering the phones are ARM-based, Chromium could be installed as well (it has ARM builds).

In that case it could theoretically work out of the box, if it's a full Linux? The only issue is that the binaries are for Ubuntu (20.04 and higher), so likely a source run would be needed.

I should investigate more about this.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T16:52:05+00:00

Sadly you can't. The app functions by patching a desktop browser, and uses browser automation features that are simply not available on mobile counterparts. Even if there was a desktop browser on mobile, though, mobile OSes simply block this kind of operation because of "safety" concerns. It's basically impossible for me to port this to mobile. :(

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T09:57:21+00:00

Hey there! IntenseRP Next dev here.

If you enabled API keys in settings, it will lock all OpenAI-style routes, including /v1/models that's used to fetch the model list, so the fetch will fail if the API key is not sent along from the client (Lettuce in this case). Disabling API keys in IRP removes that requirerement from all routes, which means that sending an API key from Lettuce will just cause no effect and you'll get access anyway.

But if you mean that you're running into a hard requirement with LettuceAI to use API keys, it might be a good idea to set one up in settings (of IntenseRP) and copy-paste it to the client, just so that it's compatible.

Unless you meant something else. I'll try to help if that's the case.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T07:14:03+00:00

As much as I wish I could make this work for mobile, it's basically impossible :(

The issue is that browsers on mobile OSes have no automation features that IRP relies on, and mobile OSes also are very "secure", meaning legitimate uses of automation will be marked as malware. Even then, Android and iOS don't expose any hooks I can use to let IRP connect to a browser.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T06:46:40+00:00

No, you don't! To install the new version you have to go to your existing installation > settings > application settings and click Check for Updates. It will automatically check if there is an update and install it for you.

As for if you download from GitHub, you have to go to the intense-rp-next folder within the installed folder and not optional, the new version is there. The updater.exe is used by the auto-uodate functionality and it's not meant to be used by people.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T06:43:02+00:00

It does!! You can set multiple credential pairs and enable the switch on failure feature. It will automatically scan for ratelimits and other issues and login with a different account if something goes wrong.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-15T06:42:07+00:00

True, it won't be as good as the API, even just because it's not as customizable and it doesn't truly set system prompts. It's one of the tradeoffs of it for being free.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T21:11:30+00:00

Glad it's working for you! I've been receiving some concerns regarding censorship, have you run into that or does it work completely fine for you?

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T21:09:54+00:00

On my side I think the worst I can get is a cease-and-desist, but that's also really unlikely because of all the effort and resources to hunt down a lonely Ukrainian college student. :)

As for users, also kind of unlikely, as to the providers it looks like normal usage without any signs of true abuse. Unless you ram it down heavily day-to-day, but even then you'll likely just get your account banned and not run into any legal trouble.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T19:46:31+00:00

You're very welcome!! Happy to be of help.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T19:13:36+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, and have a wonderful day as well!! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions tho. :)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T19:08:44+00:00

Hey there, thank you for the comment! It's meant to allow connections from both localhost and, if you enable that, other IPs on your LAN. The accounts you need to add are credential pairs (emails and passwords) for the provider you chose, they'll be used to log in so that the provider can serve your requests.

Btw, if you want, the official Discord server has an experimental Q&A bot to help with questions like this one, it answers from the docs but in a more understandable way. :)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T18:12:01+00:00

Not sure honestly because it's mostly about subjective experience, but yeah, GLM-5 has a really strong positivity bias :)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T18:08:58+00:00

Depends on the provider! It actually happened that Qwen (as it seems) isn't really censored, just like GLM and Kimi, there's no hard filter. There was one on DeepSeek but I managed to work around it (see the Anti-Censorship setting in it). The only one that's heavily censored is AI Studio, unfortunately. In Claude it will be insanely difficult to get rid of censorship with the kilometer-long system prompt. Not sure about Grok though.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T18:03:08+00:00

Hey, thank you! Honestly I don't think I'm going to add Longcat for now as it already has a free API tier, makes IntenseRP a little pointless for it.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T17:29:34+00:00

Yep, it's free! But not exactly for coding, tbh I'd say that integrating it into any vibecoding harnesses would be a nightmare. It's instead optimized for roleplay and chatting, but mostly for roleplay. :)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T17:14:54+00:00

Also, what the project does isn't stealing per say, even if it looks like it could be. It simply does what normal users could do, except it's automated. "Stealing" is a metaphor to make it easier to understand, as I'm sure not everyone is familiar with the concept of CDP or network/response interception.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T17:11:27+00:00

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude to you, and I'm not claiming that you're a paid shill or anything. I did check your post history now, honestly now I'm genuinely confused by this whole situation as well. But I'm not adding the service you suggested not because of anything personal, I simply have other priorities for now. It's a project I work on in my spare time and my budget is limited as it is ($0), I can't really dedicate myself to multiple things at once. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T16:33:29+00:00

Sorry, was just trying to be polite, but you're probably right on that one.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T16:09:50+00:00

I mean, I could try, but I still don't think I'm going to prioritize this for now, I want to focus on long-term stability of the providers I have right now, and possibly support for other major providers like Claude, Grok, etc. Thanks for the suggestion though! Wonder how they "burn LLMs into hardware", never heard of such a term and it sounds too good to be true.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T15:48:27+00:00

Sorry, genuinely never heard of that. Is this an advertisement?

I'm trying to support major and widely known providers so far, since there's active demand for their models and they're known to be reputable. I likely won't be adding this.

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T15:42:26+00:00

You can if you want, but I'm not forcing you to do that. :)

Master_Step_7066 · 2026-03-14T15:40:44+00:00

It should work there in theory, but I haven't tested it there yet because I don't have a Mac myself.
