Comparison between the different services/models and frontends used by /aicg/.
These ratings aren't gospel. They're the opinion of one anon who tried to incorporate suggestions and push no agenda.

Notes:

NovelAI models:
- You must use "Generate more" functionalities to get longer replies
- Prompting properly may require some tweaking, we are in dire need of a rentry guide for NAI usage on chat frontends
Local models:
- Check out /lmg/'s rankings: https://rentry.org/ayumi_erp_rating
- Check out if an /lmg/ proxy is up: https://rentry.org/freellamas

Quick notes on how to access each:

GPT-4:
- You can get official access soon: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7102672-how-can-i-access-gpt-4
- OAI has started sending warning emails if you do NSFW.
- Or use a reverse proxy that has it. agnai video guides / tavern guide)
Claude (API): Apply. They are VERY selective. Check out the OP for the latest hacks.
Davinci-3: Use an OpenAI key directly in SillyTavern/agnai. You can use your own or buy one (search "buy openai key" on yandex).
Turbo: Same as davinci-3 but you can also use a reverse proxy.

Frontend (service support)

Three frontends are currently recommended, Silly, Agnai, and Risu. All have a lot of different features and are improving fast.

Someone needs to contribute ratings for RisuAI.

Miku is noteworthy, but difficult to compare. It uses sentiment classification to show different sprites for each message, and text-to-speech, supporting OAI, Kobold, Whisper, AzureTTS, ElevenLabs, and NovelAITTS.

Only agnai has support for choosing which character speaks at any time in multi-user rooms, although on the flipside it doesn't support fully automatic mode
(ext) means you have to install the Silly extras. They can be a little complicated to setup for non-technical users.
