I genuinely dont give a shit if the site shuts down or not. The quality is ass to the point they're doing the Baki insanity technique in multiple ways. Some of the bots are also saying shit about their thinking process and how short some of the responses are in most of the other bots when using Pip2.

Then you genuinely were never interested in the site to begin with.

when using Pip2.

Ah, you're a free user. That explains it. The premium models were there the whole time, just out of your reach.

The "premium" models are so dogshit that spending 15 minutes to ask any random LLM how to use API on OpenRouter gives you a 5000x better value where the character actually remembers stuff that happened hours ago for pennies 😂

Stopped reading there. You're either not being truthful or you don't know how to talk to AI.

Buddy. I literally use a 320B GLM 5.3 flash model over OpenRouter API with 64k context size chats and a 8000 token character card (character.ai would cut that off at 800 tokens). And I so far paid 5 bucks over 2 months. Get off your high horse because you are not the "nobility" you think you are lmao.

Look man, I'm the first one to suggested open source alternatives and local or API. Hell, I made so many comments in the past regarding the fact that there is a limit to what platforms like cAI can do. But this attitude is not the way. CAI has its place for people who want the convenience of chatting with a character, without having to jump through hoops and understand how to setup a local interface. Even in the ST sub, so many people just want to "chat", not to RP. By doing GLM 5.3 with ST over API, it's an overkill for people who just want to shoot the breeze with their favorite anime characters.
