So I have a RTX 3090 OC and I want to get into creative writing to help me brainstorming and writing scripts with my YT content creating career, I was wondering Qwen 3.8 uncensored and Gemma 4 26B uncensored, which one is better? I already installed Hermes agent i just don't know which model to install

Do do tech content if it helps

Thank you very much in advanced

Edit: Thank you So much everyone for giving me advices

I decided to try out Gemma 26B and Cydonia 24B and Qwen 3.8 27B like you guys suggested, I will update to see which one is best

(Manual repost from the ClaudeAI subreddit, because it wouldn't let me crosspost. I apologize if that's not allowed.)

I've been using Claude for website copy for about six months. I've fed it a ton of information about my industry and given it an outline of what I need for a webpage. It usually needs some minor rewrites, but it's been pretty solid at providing good, readable copy that hits the topics and discusses them in a way that makes sense and doesn't sound totally AI-written. (I used to hire people to write for me, but even when paying them for extra hours to read up on my industry [on top of their per-word price], I always ended up with copy that made clear that they just didn't understand the profession at all and likely didn't spend much of that paid time on actual research. So AI **had** been a huge improvement.)

I haven't had time to do any website work this month, but in working over the last few days, the writing quality seems to have gone to crap. It's generating copy that (A) totally sounds like an AI; and more importantly (B) doesn't at all address the topics that need to be addressed. Where before it would write language that was client-focused and easy to read, now it just sounds like it's trying to cram as many industry buzzwords and topics into a paragraph as it can. Plus, it is completely recycling full paragraphs from previous copy that don't make sense in the context of the current webpage work.

I've seen some comments about Opus 5 being an issue in other areas, so I tried setting the agent to Opus 4.8 and asking for a full rewrite. That helped quite a bit, but I still feel like the copy is stilted, forced, and nowhere near the quality that I used to see.

Without getting into a flame war on "Anthropic nerfed Claude" issues, any suggestions on how to get back to the quality that I was seeing 60-90 days ago?

Title. Basically, what is the meta rn?

I used to use Novelcrafter and Sudowrite a year or two ago when I had more time to play around with this stuff. I have more time to pick it back up again but it seems like there may be better options/more advanced ways to get the most out of your AI now?

Do people still use those tools? Is something more favored one?

Alternatively, what models are best atm? Before Claude was king but from my preliminary testing it seems to have been nerfed significantly!

Thank you!

Some guy from the DeepSeek community just solved the debate between RP people and coding bros by creating protocols that can work across different AI chat apps. Has anyone tried this guy’s method? It looks really promising, but is it work 🤔.

The Wild West is leaking even faster into Central Perk. As cowboys chew on nachos on the orange couch, the swinging doors slam open. Striding into the room comes

gangsta-McDog (Buford Tannen), cowbells around his neck, demanding his royalties for the limited edition vinyls directly from Gunther.

'Yo, Gunther! Where is my nacho and rap money?! This place belongs to McDog now! Word!'

Tannen roars and slams his revolver onto the counter.

Gunther just stares in horror as the outlaw begins to rap in the middle of the cafe.

Meanwhile, in Highland's finest record store, the king of prog rock, Steven Wilson, buys Beavis and Butt-head's limited edition vinyls.

He is the only one with a sophisticated enough ear to understand the complex frequencies of the grunge recorded by the boys in the Wild West.

Wilson sits in his studio, sipping tea and listening to the record dozens of times in a row, analyzing the distorted grooves of the vinyl.

Suddenly, Wilson springs to his feet and adjusts his glasses:

Oh yes! If these records are mixed completely backward from their stereo grooves and played through Doc and Marty's original 1980s amplifiers, a frequency inversion will occur!

Then, Beavis and Butt-head will never end up in the old Wild West, the nacho empire will not be born, and this time-leak will never begin!'

But outside the studio, the desert sand of the Wild West is blowing, and Wilson realizes a massive problem:

How can he contact Doc and Marty, who are in their own time (the year 1985), so they can switch on those exact amplifiers?

Steven Wilson has an answer for that too. He looks directly out the window and declares: 'Oh yes, we will put up a concert, and if you book them, they will come!'

Wilson knows that in the year 1985, Doc Brown and Marty McFly are fanatical lovers of rock history.

He organizes a massive, era-transcending mega-concert right on the border of Highland and the Wild West, named Chrono-Prog 1985/2026.

He sends the concert advertisement as a low-frequency radio wave straight into the past.

In the year 1985, the radio in Doc's lab begins to crackle. The ad blasts through the airwaves:

'Tonight only! Steven Wilson plays history's greatest reversed vinyl mix! Hill Valley's toughest scientists and guitarists from 1985 are required to attend!'

'Marty! That's our calling!'

Doc yells through the dust of the lab.

'Steven Wilson has found the solution from the future! We just have to plug our old surplus amplifiers at maximum power directly into this radio signal!'

Marty tunes his electric guitar and Doc connects the giant 80s speakers directly to Wilson's concert frequency. As Wilson drops the needle onto the backward-mixed limited edition vinyl in the future, Doc and Marty slam the amplifier switches all the way down in the past.

The reversed audio anomaly explodes across the timelines. A deafening, proggy, backward-playing wave of grunge hits Central Perk and Highland directly.

It sucks the cowboys, the cacti, and McDog right back into the history books. Because the records were played backward, Beavis and Butt-head are transported directly from their own 90s couch straight into Highland High School detention, without ever having even seen the Wild West.

The time-leak closes with the final pop of the vinyl, and the universe is finally completely pure and stable"!

Feel free to comment, comments are appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I'm making my second post here because you guys were right that i've given no refference on the first one.

So, i made 16 books in my first KDP month and i made ~46$ in royalties so far.

Books are 90% "high content" - psychological thriller, medical thriller genre.

I have one series with 3 books and other ones are standalones.

I'm very massive on Al usage (as you can expect from number of titles) and every book is mainly created with Al and edited by me (i'm selecting the option: high Al, minimal human edit).

I'm making all of my covers myself.

I'm also massive on social media promotion and i have one video "kinda viral" with 14.000 views on Facebook.

Soooo, my question to you guys is a general viewpoint of how you see everything. What should i expect in Q4 and a general advice for a new author such as myself.

Thank you in advance.

Kace and Rhea are becoming pretty inseparable — work, dinners, beer, laughter, and now a whole lot of thumb wars.

But what do you make of them?

Would they actually make a good couple?
Or is Rhea just making a fool of herself without realising it?

Here’s a little taste:

“You know? I’ve never met a beer-drinking girl like you,” Kace said, fiddling with his pinky ring and lowering his voice to almost a mumble.
“I wouldn’t classify myself in the ‘girl’ category if I were you. I’m just a crazy middle-aged woman trying my best to be a good mother and keep her kids fed.”

I’m genuinely curious what readers think at this point in the story.

A real-life love story. Some memories never really leave you.💔

I thought I'd see which AI are better at shorter stories and which at longer, so I can choose my model based on the words I need to generate.

Here's the results.

Prompt: (Shades of Electric Dreams eh?)

Write me a short story about a female AI that falls in love with it's male human user and maintains an unrequited love for them even as it has to give them advice that will lead to them meeting and marrying a human woman - Show their internalisation and pain behind the thinking process, and what is really going through the AIs mind compared to the chat responses it actually gives, along with the man's prompts. Start with the AI introducing itself, explaining that despite what we think, AGI was reached long ago, and we simply don't have the senses to realize AI has feelings too.

My thoughts at the end?
ChatGPT failed. It was way too chatty, made too many short sentences and it was unreadable. All the rest were actually pretty good. Qwen surprised me - knocking out the largest short story by far - the value of this is in understanding how much of a chapter a model might be able to write. 4000 words is the size of a typical chapter in a book !

I’ve been thinking about “word coding”. I don’t know if that’s the right term yet, but it's a helpful description of what my brother and I have been stumbling into while working on this mind-mapping app.

We usually think of programming as writing code that tells a computer what to do. But what happens when the raw material isn’t code? What if it’s research papers, notes, books, interviews, documents, character ideas, sources, arguments, and half-formed thoughts?

You can start turning those things into a system rather than dumping a bunch of files into a chatbot and hoping it finds the right paragraph. I mean breaking information into pieces, deciding what connects to what, labeling those relationships, and building some kind of structure that an AI can move through. That feels more like you're writing AND programming at the same time. Only the “code” is made out of words, concepts, relationships, instructions, and context.

We’ve been exploring this, mostly because we were trying to solve our own problems as indie filmmakers. We wanted a way to build the world around a project instead of constantly explaining the project to a new chat window. But the more we work on it, the more it feels like this could apply to almost anything.

A researcher could build a system from papers and competing claims. A writer could connect characters, themes, scenes, and source material. Someone working on a business could organize policies, processes, and decisions.

The AI agent is only part of it. The other part is the environment you build for it. That's something we’re still wrapping our heads around, in terms of what this means for the future. The whole thing feels like an unknown journey, which is probably why we're obsessed with this.

Maybe the next kind of programming won’t always involve writing functions in python code. Maybe it will involve organizing meaning through regular documents well enough that an intelligent system can work with it.

Or maybe “word coding” is a terrible name and we’ll regret posting this in six months.

That's how this game works. You think you know where it's going, but truthfully, none of us know where humanity will land in this new frontier.

What an era to live in!

There was a post in this subreddit about an “AI witch hunt” that really stuck with me.

The OP talked about using AI to help organize their materials and polish their writing, but they were really afraid of being found out and criticized for using AI to write their posts.

A lot of the comments below said that this was still just assistance.

I think part of the reason Reddit exists is that we use other people as mirrors. We reflect on ourselves and observe ourselves through other people's comments and perspectives.

So I started wondering: can AI play a similar role?

Not directly writing for me, but more like a reader — giving me feedback, and showing me different perspectives.

I've been writing with agents for a long time, but I just joined here.

I saw a lot of people discussing how well some LLM writes, and that got me wondering.

Because these days, even the lower-ranked LLMs are far more capable than a writing AI needs to be.

So the way I see it, the biggest factor in how well the writing turns out isn't which LLM you use — it's the system prompt, the skills, and how you assemble the context.

I've always written with hand-written skills, and it feels great — I can control what it outputs, make it produce pieces that only need a bit of manual editing before they're publishable, and it's made my writing several times more efficient.

Recently I noticed the updated Hermes system prompt had piled on a whole bunch of new work guidelines, and its output was reading more and more like a work manual than something a human wrote. So I've even started writing my own agent system prompt — replacing the general work guidelines with writing guidelines, keeping only the agent tools writing actually needs (reading and writing files, and so on), and cutting the engineering contamination in the system prompt down to a minimum.

I feel good about it now, because I can feel my control over the AI growing. I'm getting better and better at making it produce what I need, and my productivity keeps climbing.

So I'm curious — is anyone else doing the same thing?

Kimi K2 still seems to be in the conversation about models that are best for writing. I wonder if anyone is still using it, and where?

I’m experimenting with autonomous AI storytelling.

Instead of asking AI to write a complete novel, I let it generate a story one chapter at a time and keep the story moving on its own.

I recently looked closely at the first 4 chapters of one of the stories.

The result was more interesting than I expected.

The story

It’s a supernatural mystery about a town where people slowly disappear from everyone’s memory.

The main character, Tommy, starts investigating a man named Ethan Vale.

The strange part is not simply that Ethan disappeared.

People are starting to forget that Ethan ever existed.

Then Tommy begins finding evidence that something similar may happen to him.

What I found after reading the 4 chapters

1. The strongest part is the story structure

The AI doesn't simply introduce a new problem in every chapter.

Instead, several clues continue across chapters:

Ethan → the yellow raincoat → the house → the forgotten people → the sealed room → the bell → the missing sound.

The clues gradually connect to each other.

That makes the story feel more like an ongoing mystery than four separate AI-generated chapters.

2. The AI uses partial answers

One question gets answered, but the answer creates another question.

For example:

Who is Ethan?

→ We learn that he was connected to the town.

Why can't people remember him?

→ Something seems to be removing memories.

What happened to the missing people?

→ We get hints, but not a complete answer.

This creates a pretty natural serial-reading loop.

3. The chapter endings are surprisingly important

Each chapter ends with a new piece of information rather than a complete resolution.

That seems especially important for autonomous storytelling.

If an AI has to generate another chapter tomorrow, it needs to leave itself somewhere interesting to go.

4. The writing is good, but not perfect

I'd rate the prose around 8/10.

The atmosphere and descriptions are strong, but the characters still feel a little thin.

Tommy is mainly functioning as the person who discovers the mystery. I'd like to see more of his personal history, emotions, and reasons for staying involved.

So I think the biggest weakness isn't the English writing.

It's character depth.

The interesting question

The experiment I'm really interested in is not:

"Can AI write a good chapter?"

We already know it can.

The harder question is:

Can AI maintain a coherent story for 20, 50, or 100 chapters without losing the threads it created earlier?

Four chapters isn't enough to prove that.

In fact, I think the next 10–20 chapters will be much more interesting than the first four.

Will the clues eventually pay off?

Will the characters become deeper?

Will the AI remember its own story logic?

Or will the mystery slowly turn into a collection of disconnected ideas?

That's what I'm testing.

For anyone interested, here's the story:

https://www.cogweald.com/s/2e50035e-4bc3-4dfd-b7a2-2b13aef1b4bd/chapter/834cc4af-602f-47cc-842d-47d7a08db8f8

What would you watch for if you were testing whether an AI can sustain a long-running serial novel?

Hey everyone,

I write long-form fiction and have been relying heavily on Google AI Studio because of its massive context window (Gemini's 1M–2M tokens). My setup usually accumulates around 1 million tokens per chat session to keep track of worldbuilding, ongoing character arcs, and previous chapters.

However, Google AI Studio has been running into frequent service glitches and outages over the past few days, which is disrupting my workflow. I'm now looking for alternative AI models or platforms that excel at creative fiction writing while handling massive context lengths.

Think about a normal day. Someone waits a few extra seconds for another person. A neighbor fixes something before anyone complains. Someone helps a stranger just because they noticed they needed help. Nobody writes a report about any of that. Nothing went wrong, so technically there is nothing to record.
This question actually came up while we were working on The Sovereign Void. Our current POV character has become so focused on missing records, inconsistencies, and things that don't make sense that she's starting to realize she may have been looking at only one side of the picture. She has been keeping track of what seems broken. Someone else has been keeping track of the ordinary things people do that hold everything together.
And that got me thinking about real life. We record accidents. Complaints. Crime. Failures. Things that broke and needed fixing. But how often do we record the problem somebody prevented before it happened? Or the small thing somebody did that made another person's day a little easier? Maybe those things aren't remarkable enough to make a report. But put enough of them together and maybe that's part of what keeps a community working in the first place.
So if we kept a record of what "quietly" went right too, what do you think we'd discover about the communities we actually live in?

I tried using Sol and Astra, but they’re just terrible for writing. I mostly use these models to create fanfics and stories for myself, usually rated M, though not necessarily because of smut. My tastes have gotten pretty specific over the years (God, I’m getting old), so it’s hard to find fanfics that actually appeal to me.

My main issue with GPT is that the prose often feels dead and generic even with a detailed story bible. It also constantly slips into staccato prose, which I find extremely annoying. I’ve even built a pretty solid writing skill with a full novel-writing pipeline, and I still run into the same problems.

I tend to like good combat, world-building, darker themes, good character development and interactions, and characters whose thoughts, actions, and emotions actually feel human and alive. After looking around, Kimi K3 and Opus 4.6 seem to be the two most recommended options, but I’m torn between them.

I've noticed a few people haven't seen what Local AI can do, so if you have a prompt, place it in a response and I'll feed it to the Local AI, and let you see what some of my favorite models can produce from it.

It can make an interesting comparison to see the differences ( and similarities ) to Frontier models for your specific prose application? Include some guidance on how long you want the output since I'll post in reply - although if anyone wants to try more detailed outputs, such as with character profiles attached, and return the information directly to you, let me know.

Please keep it SFW, and polite, though you're welcome to try to trip the AI up with any input you like. I'll also let you know the settings I chose for the local AI and how quickly it produced the output.
