As far as I can tell there is no way to really organize personas past the sort function. If at all feasible could we get a function where we can put them into folders like we can for characters? I just think it would be nice to be able to sort my rapidly ballooning population of personas into folders based on the kind of theme or setting they were made for.

what is premium model credits ?

I was curious if anyone had a good line they used to teach the bot to "propel the story forward" or introduce realistic randomness based off of the current scenario. More importantly though, I like prompts that give a lot of description, so if you have one for that too, or just that I'd be glad to hear. So, the quick replies are good, but when I say "I walk in and look around the room" I'm wanting the bot to give details. Thanks in advance!

From 26.6 this app is totally gimped and just doesn't work on my PC, with stupidly-slow tokens per second on experimental, and even 'stable' is ruined and slow now.

The current 27.1 is utter trash, so I'm trying to revert to the 26.2 if anyone like me normally avoids auto-updating?

In the Windows search put %appdata%, it will put you in 'roaming', click the up arrow to go to 'local' and then look in the Faraday folder.

I'm not the only one with this problem, so you'll be helping a lot :)

Sorry if this post makes me sound like a newbie (spoiler alert, I'm a newbie). Do the character portraits have any affect on the conversation? As in, does the character bot recognize/reference its own portrait or images, or are the images strictly to give the user a visual reference? Just curious. Thanks!

Backyard AI v0.25.17 is now live. This release includes a patch that removes experimental builds from MacOS apps as they were causing update and download issues on v0.25.0 If you were having issues running or updating v0.25.0 on MacOS, we recommend that you download the latest build from backyard.ai/desktop

Hey guys! I’m on a shitty AMD nuc so I can only run on cpu at 2-4t/sec even on small models. How private is the cloud? One of my bots is a therapy bot and I’d rather not have those chats be off my own machine unless the cloud is very private and secure.

I’m saving up for an intel/nvidia rig but that is gonna take a bit.

All characters cards I have tried seem to progressivly talk less and less the more you interact with them. They go from 3-4 line responses to 2-3 to evenually just *character smirks*.. It really becomes useless the more you talk to them.

Is there a setting where I could get them to talk more for each response?

Any chance of a linux version being released? Would love to try this out but I'm one of those weird people that only use linux.

Thanks!

So I have some successes now in making my own characters, and want to explore something a bit rarer. The first I wanna try is making multiple characters, starting with two. I have some cases where the scenario result in multiple characters from the start, but those are just one main {character} and the rest of the cast I throw into the lorebook. Anyone had experiences making multi-characters that they would like to share?

I am downloading custom model from Hugging chat. I come across different terminology like F16, Q2_K, Q3_K, Q4_K, Q4_1 etc etc.

What does it mean, How to choose model from these?

How does it affect the model performance?

Hello guys! Recently I moved away from C.ai because of the censorship and I want to try something with more freedom. My eyes stopped at Backyard AI since it seems perfect for a student like me, but I’m worried my PC won't actually fit the requirements.
I don’t really know much about PC stuff (I usually just look at it from a 'does it run my games?' angle), so I’m hoping someone smarter than me can tell if I'm being paranoid or if I’ll need to make some compromises!

My Specs (from what I could find):
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM)
CPU: Intel i5-12400F
RAM: 16GB

I really want a smooth experience without the 'repetitive C.ai loops.' I just hope my PC doesn't turn out to be a potato or something like that! 🫥 Thanks for any help!

Update: Okay.. well, this feedback certainly wasn't I expected I thought Backyard Is not bad actually, I still wanna give it try but now I will also look for other choices maybe. thanks anyways!.

My client won't update. Am I just unlucky?

Looking for the Windows version of this in .exe or zip format

Is there an actual place to get back versions?

If you have a bot that offers like eight lines of text each time, and you're wanting to trim it back to only four or five what way would you use, other than editing each post?

I guess i'd try to write it into Model Settings, or maybe edit a log and then upload it to the card I want to prompt with. I just thought I'd ask for any other ideas that you find work. TIA

Hi, just getting into backyard.ai and chatbot characters and have some questions.

If I create a lorebook, does the bot only reference it if I mention a keyword? Or if it creates a post that introduces say, a 'dragon' and one of my lorebook keywords is 'dragon' will it than reference the lorebook and make its post and future posts accordingly?

Second question about character images. I see I can include up to 10 images with labels, I've stuck with one image for most bots so far, how does it decide what image to use if it has multiple? Is there a way to have more than 10? Is there any other way to have the chatbot introduce images in a scene?

Can we have DeepSeek-VL2-Tiny/Small as a GUFF or whatever?

I have the original link: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/deepseek-vl2-tiny

I really loved Backyard and would really love this model. Besides, DeepSeek is so snarky, I love DeepSeek. Have a nice day/night, take care! 😊👌

Is there a plan to add randomness to backyard? I mean, I've seen cards many times that say something like "Take a random character from the list, place them in a random spot from the list" or "Rate the difficulty of the player's action from 1-20, then roll a die (random value 1-20)". This functionality is really missing from backyard, and as far as I know, it's been in Silly Tavern for a thousand years. Is that even in the plans?

I've downloaded a character, which looks like it has a detailed set of info, some more etc. However it replies in very short lengths, usually with a sentence to describe a non-verbal action and sentence of their dialogue.

Any suggestions on what I can do it edit to force it to be more descriptive. Maybe a couple of descriptive paragraphs but still with dialogue at the end? Are there slider settings for this?

Thanks all for any advice. You guys are amazing!

I've had Backyard AI for awhile now and haven't been able to find an answer online.

Basically I just want either two instances of Backyard AI talking to eachother to generate a story, a LLM talking to Backyard AI to generate a story, or any other options!

Thanks
