Checked often.
Probably the most popular and supported frontend, SillyTavern, which I strongly recommend.
If you plan to localhost your LLM, I prefer and recommend KoboldCPP.
My primary source of quantized LLMS tailored to roleplay which can be easily run on consumer-grade hardware, even last-gen.
The model I personally localhost.
Makes outputs much more creative and less repetitive, i.e. desloppifies the model's diction.
If localhosting a model, text completion is superior, if using an API, chat completion is.
I generally use and recommend Sphiratrioph's configs for text completion.
But a good alternative if you're using chat completion is SpicyMarinara.
My personal favorite theme, Moonlit Echoes by RivelleDays.
A dialogue colorizer extension. Great for the eyes or mood-setting.
If you want a more in-depth guide about the models and setup than I can manage the energy to type, try Sukino's.
