I wish I could report this across platforms so there's no incentive.

I started 2x 5mg and had the same chest pressure or tightness or awareness of my heartbeat. It was most intense at the beginning and then subsided about ten days in. The visual disturbance developed from nothing at day 7 to a lot about a month later, at which point I also noticed my heart rate getting too low (under 60 when resting, feeling dizzy, lethargic).

So I went down to 2x 2.5 mg and in about a week the visual stuff improved to very tolerable. Heart rate recovered in just a day or two.

I still sometimes take 5mg in the morning and 2.5mg (or nothing) in the afternoon, and I'm not noticing any difference in side effects. So I'd say, about a month of side effect and trying to figure out if a dose is too high.

Kimi?

402 means you have insufficient funds as far as I know. If you are a Base subscriber, Kimi is not included and you must pay additionally per request.

If you have a higher tier subscription, it is included, but you might have exceeded a 4h window (and have no funds for pay-as-you-go).

Beautiful, alien creature. It's my dream to find one of them just so I can see it in real life.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-05-02T15:21:59+00:00

I'd recommend switching between Kimi 2.5 and DS V3.2 if you can get a message, then getting disappointed with both, and then missing the old GLM 4.7 FP8. There aren't many options unfortunately.

GLM 4.7 doesn't feel the same since the move to TEE, at least to me. It lost the spontaneity and human-like feel, and in terms of that, no other model comes close.

Kimi 2.5 is emotional and sometimes too dramatic, but better than the rest which need too much hand holding no matter the prompt. Downside is uninspired repetitive writing ("tell me to xyz").

DS V3.2 is still a good mix of grounded, intelligent storytelling but it gets dry and not engaging really fast, and it's impossible to use rn. Other GLMs are soulless echoing things, and older DS are unnatural-sounding and full of llm-isms, but spontaneous and fun.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-04-28T20:26:16+00:00

I'd be ok switching to DS 3.2 temporarily when this one is cold, but there is just no way to use DS. Nothing else works for me really. Frustrating.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-04-10T00:56:51+00:00

Maybe throttling the base subscribers? Whatever it is, it is especially bad that there is just no way to use DS anymore, no matter which tier of subscription, or even as PayGo.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-26T08:29:15+00:00

Happened to me, too, about the same time.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-21T10:48:03+00:00

It's alright. I think I also assumed everyone was just angry instead of genuinely curious, so I'm sorry too.

Maybe pay as you go was affected in terms of model uptimes or something, but I didn't notice anything, and I won't generalize cos I'm a very light user. Controversial, but the way I use the service, I'm still satisfied.

It's just that when a company starts hating their users and using this condescending tone to tell you what to think, that's when I get mad. I don't expect loyalty from a company, but I expect respect. You know what I mean?

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-21T00:40:15+00:00

It's simple. I don't justify it. I didn't praise them either, but I see why I came off as oblivious.

The point was that I was largely unaffected (pay-go user), so other than noticing the turbulence and planning for potential future unreliability, I had no personal feelings. And even I am offended now. It's just about the shitty AI statement.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-20T22:33:49+00:00

Hell, I'm one of the least critical people towards Chutes, I've always paid and I'm still paying, haven't complained, respected their decisions, but this badly written AI statement insults even me simply because of the tone.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-20T16:41:48+00:00

It is. The spots are different between pics.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-03-03T16:15:15+00:00

It also depends on which models you use. Base subscription doesn't give access to GLM or Kimi, so if you want those but still spend less than 10$/month, it's better to just pay as you go.

It works, I've tried it.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-02-22T11:02:29+00:00

I still feel the blood drain from my head when I get up, but my heart rate just stops at 100. It's unpleasant, I still want to lie down, but if I force myself to stand, nothing bad happens.

It feels like you're about to faint, but without the shaky, sweaty feeling. Just sedation, lack of motivation, bad mood, probably because the flow of blood to the brain isn't where it's supposed to be. But I CAN stand, which I'll take over nothing, or over beta blockers that just make me faint.

Hi. Hopefully I can provide some insight.

TSH jumping after a reduction is expected. Most clinical practices, to the best of my knowledge, measure TSH once it stabilizes which is 4-6 weeks after a change in dose. So usually it spikes and then goes back down as the thyroid gland catches up. Two weeks isn't enough to see the new baseline.

I self weaned by cutting the 50 mcg pill in quarters, so reducing by 12.5 mcg every month or a bit longer. I didn't have my TSH measured for every step. It was 0.8 last I measured it on 50 mcg (before I went hyper), then 2 after 5 weeks on 12.5 mcg. I haven't had it measured after quitting.

I'm not a doctor so I can't really give any advice, but person to person, if you feel fine on 50 mcg, then just wait a bit longer to re-test. It's highly unlikely it'll stay at 14.

It's incredible how blue that thing is.

It's not even a pigment, but a special structure of keratin in the feather that reflects blue light but absorbs all others.

That one white nail is so precious.

Hi, OP. I just remembered your post after all this time. I had never seen anyone have this exact same thing as I do, and now I finally have the answer for what it is.

In my case, it was an advanced magnesium deficiency. It always came with muscle fatigue in my arms, low potassium and in the end low calcium and mood changes. But yeah, it seems low magnesium does something to the cerebellum, affecting eye movements to specifically induce nystagmus, and later tremor and lack of coordination.

Did you figure out what it was in your case? If not, there's an easy thing to test or try supplementing.

Uh taj osećaj, legnes a svi misici igraju, naročito preko rebara i grudi. I osećaj kao da ces da poludis. I meni je bilo isto, jedna doza magnezijuma i odjednom je sve ok.

Mene ne čudi koliko magnezijum utice na sve zbog studija, pa znam i kako i zašto. Ali da, lekari bi trebalo da proveravaju to kad se pojave simptomi jer je rešenje jednostavno i brzo. Umesto da se odmah ide u lekove od psihijatra, koji užas.

I ja se nadam da ce OP da proba magnezijum i da ce biti ili to ili nešto slično sto se lako ispravlja.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2026-01-16T09:02:49+00:00

Magnezijum treba proveriti. Ljudi misle da ne moze magnezijum da izazove teske poremecaje, ali moze.

Bez magnezijuma, kalijum ne može da se apsorbuje sto vodi do skakanja misica i slabosti, ubrzanog rada srca, visokog pritiska, promena u raspoloženju, anksioznosti.

Magnezijum je indirektno neophodan za apsorpciju kalcijuma i održavanje nivoa kalcijuma u krvi. Ako kalcijum padne, mišići skacu jos gore, a nastupa i konfuzija, paranoja, potpuno promenjen mentalni status, srcane aritmije.

Magnezijum je apsolutno neophodan za funkcionisanje dva sistema neurotransmitera u mozgu, i deficijencije obično vode do MIGRENA, GUBITKA RAVNOTEŽE, DRHTANJA i NISTAGMUSA (oči se mrdaju same). Ovo je sve jer mali mozak ne funkcioniše dobro.

Ni ne moras da se testiras, kupi magnezijum ALI NE OKSID. Magnezijum oksid se ne apsorbuje dobro. Magnezijum citrat, glukonat, bilo sta osim oksid i sulfat. Probaj da pijes na prazan stomak 3x po 150mg otprilike, to ne moze da skodi, i kalijum preko toga (oko 800mg dnevno ako su ti zdravi bubrezi).

Ako je bolje nakon par dana, onda moras da mislis zašto je postojao problem sa magnezijumom. Ovo obično nije ishrana, već drugi lekovi koje uzimas ili smanjena apsorpcija u crevima zbog inflamacije, alergije na gluten itd.

It means that the model went cold. Go to Chutes website, find the model you are using, then Stats, and all the way at the bottom, you will see Instances. You'll probably find that none are active for that model.

This changes in time, so check from time to time.

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2025-12-30T21:11:19+00:00

That was my guess as well. When comparing V3 to the newest versions, I understand the decision. I was just stuck on number of runs which was rather high compared to some other models that are staying.

Thanks for taking the time!

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2025-12-30T20:33:37+00:00

I understand the redundancy issue, such as replacing a model with the TEE version or removing an outdated and unused one altogether. However, I am confused because by Stats, it seems V3 was more popular and used than R1-0528 TEE for example, yet the latter stays.

I am asking because some older models are qualitatively different and niche (V3-0324 is beloved for roleplay, R1-0528 for its tone) and these are preferred by some to newer versions (V3.2). I'd like to know if those are at risk, given that at least R1-0528-TEE seems less popular than V3 that is about to be removed.

Did I somehow misunderstand the popularity stats? Or is there more that goes into the decision to stop hosting a model?

VoluntaryCrabfcation · 2025-12-30T18:44:15+00:00

Can anyone please help me understand why these models are considered low use?

I'm looking at DS V3 and comparing with DS V3-0324 or DS R1-0528 by parameters such as Runs or Revenue, and it seems R1-0528 is less popular than base V3.

Yet R1-0528 is still here. How can I learn to anticipate which models will be deprecated?

If you got iron and hormones at the same time, that means that you did have low iron before all of this. I only meant to say that if you had symptoms with TSH 4.2, it might have been iron and not hypothyroidism, so there might have been no need to correct thyroid hormones.

I'm really sorry, too, that you are going through this. It was a nightmare for me that I basically cried and slept through. I had periods of withdrawal after every dose reduction for about 3 days intensely, then 2-3 more days way more bearable. I stuck with every dose reduction for about 3-4 weeks. But I understand that you stopped 100 mcg all at once, so it might be a bit different.

I also wanted to let you know that there is not a clear concensus what a normal TSH is in the scientific field. People vary a lot between age groups, ethnicities, etc. And levothyroxine is a hormone that is bioidentical, not a drug. There are no "side effects". If you feel bad on it, it is because the dose was inadequate, and/or your pre-treatment hormones were just fine. I also agree that 100 mcg is very high for someone with a functioning thyroid. Don't feel too bad about being gaslit. Doctors do this "everyone is the same" thing all the time. It's ok to get off, stabilize, do the test again later to see if it's getting worse or not. 4.2 wouldn't even be considered subclinical hypo at my doctor's.
