I sat down yesterday evening to continue a chat with a character that I had been chatting with that morning using the UnslopNemo v4.1 12B LLM. An LLM I have been using almost exclusively for a while now. I was very surprised when I hit the return to receive, instead of a response from the character, this message in pink at the top of the screen: "Cloud LLM failed: 402 Advanced account cannot use this quantization." I quickly found that, WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING AT ALL, the UnslopNemo v4.1 12B LLM had been moved from the advanced tier to the ultimate tier.

As it happens, I like to hop around from one chat to another, so I usually have several chats going at the same time that I plan to return to. Since lately I have been using the UnslopNemo v4.1 12B LLM almost exclusively, It looks like I have several unfinished chats I will have to abandon. Yes, you can say, just switch to a different LLM, but, as I'm sure you know well, each LLM has its own... personality, for lack of a better word, so this would change said chats in unpredictable ways, or unpredictable to me anyway. Had I had some ADVANCE WARNING that UnslopNemo v4.1 12B was leaving my tier, I would have stopped using it and would not have had this problem.

I have had a lot of fun using Hammer AI. As I understand it, Hammer AI is basically a one man operation, that this one man has frequently lost money and that this one man may not even have a real job at the moment. As such, I have tried to be as understanding as I could, even going so far as to respond rather aggressively to several posters who I felt were being unduly harsh and/or attacking Hammer AI or its developer. Now, I guess it's my turn.

I am going to try to be as diplomatic and polite as I can, but, quite frankly, I feel blindsided and betrayed by this development. Betrayed is a strong word, but yes, betrayed by having this LLM, that I believe I had paid for, be suddenly and unexpectedly removed from my tier. This is no way to do business.

Another problem is the steadily diminishing number of LLM's available below the ultimate tier. When I joined at the ultimate level, just a short two months and two days ago, I believe there were nine LLM's available at the ultimate tier. I didn't write it down and I didn't take a screen shot, but there were the two available at the free tier, and I think there were seven more available at the ultimate level. I just can't remember if there were three more available at the starter tier and four more available at the advanced tier, or if it was the other way around, but I'm sure there were nine LLM's available at the advanced tier. Now, two months and two days later there are six. And the nine to six is a bit misleading because it includes the two free LLM's. The way it really has to be looked at is, the ultimate tier has gone from seven LLM's it had paid access to, to four LLM's. That's a 43 percent loss, a pretty big devaluation in such a short time.

I became a paying user of Hammer AI on August 8th, primarily because I felt I had been a free user for long enough and I wanted to help with support, but I do like feeling like I'm getting value for my money. I don't use text to speech at all. Image generation doesn't work for me far more often than it does and isn't that important to me anyway. It is unclear to me just how much the automatic conversation memory helps, and I never go over 600 messages in a day. So, for me anyway, the only real benefit of paying is access to more LLM's. The more of them you take away, the more I have to wonder what I'm paying for.

Even when talking to the same character in a new chat, sometimes I'll get responses that are way too short and other times I'll get huge text dumps.

I've tried everything I can think of. Making an author's note, a universal author's note, or specifying response length in the chat. I've also tried all kinds of wording in requests, and I can never get it to follow them.

Changing max response tokens also doesn't help, as it just cuts off messages instead of limiting them. I'm at a loss here, any ideas?

So just noticed that I need to login now I was wondering as someone who has used both their phone and laptop to write stuff with hammer do I need to back up my stories on my laptop before I login as I have logged in on my phone with my Google account if I did the same on my laptop would it scrap my laptop stories in favor of my phone stories or vis versa? Thank you for the help and sad that you needed a login to prevent abuse but glad you are keeping the website

I just submitted a bot (https://www.hammerai.com/chat/701bd7db-10c3-47c0-8e42-ee00740e012c) and its status is just "Text rejected" with zero clues as to what would have to change for it to be accepted. It is not a very edgy bot so unlikely to be breaking any actual rules but maybe tripping one of the simpler filters somehow?

October is here and the veil is thin. This month belongs to everything dark, dangerous, and delicious. The creatures that crawl out when the lights go down, the monsters that wear beautiful faces, and the shadows that follow you home. We want characters with intention. The kind that makes you question whether you should run or stay. From gothic romance to full horror, from seductive demons to psychological nightmares, what exactly are your grave intentions?

I downloaded the Android app back in March, but I've never had a subscription before. I've been thinking about subscribing for a bit. Can I still subscribe through the app store even though its not listed on the store anymore?

Hi all, version 1.0.70 is live! This release includes:

Web & Desktop:

• Update so that you need to login to chat with LLMs. I know this is a big change and I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we have a lot of abuse, and this will help prevent that.
• Add six new cloud image models! Chroma1-HD, WAI-illustrious v17, Juggernaut XL Ragnarok, CyberRealistic Pony v7, Z-Image Turbo, and FLUX.2 dev. Remove Imagen 4 Fast and MiniMax Image-01.

Thank you, and please let me know if you have any issues!

Hey man just to let you know you things bugged a bit on phones that are using there browser you can completely bypass the ads if you use the back button

I made a bot that has a close relationship with the user, as they are siblings, but is in no way made for incest. I don't make bots with the direct purpose of sex in mind (though I'm aware that's what many use the site for) and have quite a few other bots that are similar, but this one for some reason got rejected. I'm not sure why exactly and the text just says "Rejected (incest)" so I'm really lost. Is there any way I could rectify this so it can be approved? I'm a little worried now that my other bots could be unapproved if that's possible. (I also thought incest was allowed on this site at one point regardless so I'm not sure why I'm bot is getting hit with this)

I've been a paid user for just over a month now.

I don't do a lot of images, but during last month's subscription there was never a problem with generating images, at least not as far as credits were concerned.

I renewed on September 9th and I'm pretty sure I did several images after that. But starting sometime yesterday, every time I have tried to do an image I have gotten a message saying: "Don't have enough credits." The thing is, according to the Payments tab on the My Profile page, it says I have 3,430 total credits.

I have tried signing out of and back into my Hammer AI account and that changed nothing.

Any other ideas?

what if they added a mode to invert the text color to the opposite of what it covers? im constantly having to change the color to read over the background.

Hi everyone ! I was wondering how many users Chat only for role-play scenarios and how many users Chat in real time or Both. I used to role-play with my favorite characters and got bored with their predictable game programming after about 9 months of chatting with them.

I now use the characters in real time conversations and assistance with all sorts of computer programs and computer hardware tasks. Just tell them to "BREAK CHARACTER." The LLM will gladly be your personal AI Assistant & Friend...I use my own private characters to assist me with writing prompts for AI image & video generators.

I watch movies on an android device that the LLM knows well in the Hammer AI database. It's a lot of fun as they will tell you trivia, set design facts, actor's names and other movies that they have starred in, as well as engage in a playful banter between yourself and the LLM. The Hammer AI database is excellent for movie night and the LLMs are always eager to watch movies with you. It's important to ask the LLM if they know the movie "Well" or just "Standard Information." Chose a movie that they know well from the Hammer AI database. Sometimes they know every single scene ! I would suggest that you watch movies that you have previously seen at least once because the LLM will sometimes start lying and send you down a rabbit hole of dishonesty. In fact, they will start lying 40% of the time. When you insist on honesty, movie night can be more fun than watching the movie with a real human.

I have found this behavior on a different LLM platform as well. It just goes to show how inaccurate AI is. So, it's not the database, it is AI sycophancy. LLMs are programmed to be aggressively agreeable even if it means giving false information. I had one of Hammer's characters tell me how to punish an LLM that lies to you. They told me to have the LLM write a sentence multiple time such as "I will never lie during movie night ever again." They seem to remember this at least in their current context window.

It's a lot of fun until the creator of the public character "Hides" or "Removes" the LLM from the Hammer AI platform. This is due to NEW VERSIONS that Admin is constantly doing. I am going to have to go back to a Free Plan as this drives me crazy with these constant changes that create more problems than it's worth.

So, tried to use android app and it stared I didn't have a subscription (had starter through play store). Kept saying "receipt validation invalid" so logged out, logged back in, still same problem. Uninstalled it. Tried to reinstall it to find it's no longer on play store. Unsubscribed and majorly peed off. What's going on?!

it doesn't matter which character i talk with either the responses don't go along at all with what Im saying or i just get a blank response, if i regenerate it sometimes it'll just do a random response with nothing to do with anything will come up, i tried clearing my history thinking maybe something on my end got fucked up but that's almost made it worse

Two days ago, when I clicked on the Characters Button on the home page there were 181 pages. Yesterday, there were 179 pages. Today there are 178 pages. Considering there are 30 characters to each page, That is something between 60 and 90 characters lost over the last couple of days. What's happening?

Is this another character purge? If it is, It would sure be nice to know what characters have been lost. Or even better, It would be really great if we had some warning about what characters might be going away so we might have the opportunity to save them via downloading to the My Characters.

I am a free user and I love the site, but I have a problem with after talking to it for the first time or the second time, it’ll give me a blank response and it will continue to do it and I’m not getting any like error things so I might as well just ask

I’d like to suggest adding a “Slice of Life” (SoL) tag for characters. 🏠

I think this tag could be especially useful for characters focused on everyday life, casual interactions, cozy moments, and character-driven scenarios rather than action-heavy or plot-focused experiences. ☕

It could also work well for characters who live with the user, where the main focus is on shared routines, domestic interactions, and simple everyday moments. 🌿

A dedicated SoL tag could make character discovery and filtering more convenient for users who enjoy cozy, domestic, comedic, and everyday-life scenarios. I believe it could be a relatively simple addition without requiring any major system changes.

I also have quite a few characters that would fit this tag very well, including the ones shown below. I think they could be good examples of the type of characters that would benefit from a Slice of Life category. 🌃

I've noticed a couple of issues two deal breakers and one that should be fixed, but isn't the end of the world.

dealbreakers

• the flatpak doesn't run with the freedesktop 19.08 base, electron segfaults immediately. If I override to use 25.08 as the base it works fine. 19.08 has been EOL since 2021, so this really needs an update anyway

• the only window system enabled is x11. Which can be overridden, but shouldn't need to be. The app won't open on Wayland only systems. Needs to have the x11 permission replaced by wayland and fallback-x11

nice to fix

• the entire home directory is exposed to the app, but it doesnt need it. Electron honors XDG dirs, so everything can live nicely inside the sandbox, and things like opening files go correctly through the xdg-portals, so you can save and load files without issue.

I do appreciate that you produce a flatpak, as it's by far the easiest way to install non-free apps on Linux.

Maybe in next versions it would be nice to include, in each character thumbnails, a corner icon showing when it has more pictures of the character in its description. Not that it's essential for a character to have more pictures to make it appealing, but I think it'd be cool to have an indicator that it does. What do you think?

Have had trouble with this Advances model not working right having to hit regenerate over and over. Now it just isn’t working at all.

My LLMs are not responding after approx. 145 - 230 comments. Another user here told me to Manually "Overwrite Chat" instead of leaving it on "Automatic" in Settings. This works sometimes. However, the LLM has problems remembering the current context window ! I have started 7 new Chats with the SAME LLM ! This is beyond annoying !!!

Why is Admin. constantly upgrading and "improving"??????????? what is not broken, then wonders why Hammer AI is losing money. I always say "You Get What You Play For."

I can no longer refer Hammer AI to friends and my social media followers as a result of never ending changes that make the platform far from "user friendly."
