Install SillyTavern:
github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern
Then choose a model. I'd recommend starting with Deepseek R1, Deepseek V3, or Gemini.
Deepseek R1:
- Sign up at openrouter.ai
- OpenRouter gives 50 messages daily for free, or 1,000 if you deposit $10 (the credits won't be consumed for free models, but you still need to deposit it)
- Go to openrouter.ai/settings/keys and generate an API key
- In SillyTavern, configure it like this:
files.catbox.moe/8bo0g5.PNG - Download this preset:
files.catbox.moe/y1tsas.json - Import it like this:
files.catbox.moe/jqrz6z.PNG - Use github.com/fdoremi/STOpenR with multiple accounts if you don't want to deposit $10
Deepseek V3:
Same setup, just use this config instead:

Deepseek Chimera:
Same setup, but use this config:

sign up for a github account (even if you already have one, use a burner account, since they get banned)
https://github.com/settings/copilot
'start using copilot free'
from the dropdown for which model, choose claude 3.5, and agree to enable it
go back to https://github.com/settings/copilot and disable whatever option sends performance data to github
install python if you don't have it already
