On Tuesday, we unfortunately introduced a bug in the Conversation Image feature. Every time an image would get generated, a new conversation would get forked. The bug was not visible at first sight as you would see your conversation history, however on reload, the entire conversation would disappear only showing the image. So the next text generation wouldn't consider your chat history.
We've fixed that issue this morning and conversations can now continue as expected after an image gen...

For the Conversation Images feature to work, we need to fine-tune a specialized AI model to teach it to generate similar images than your Chatbot Image. That process takes some time (about 7 minutes per bot), therefore we've created a training queue.
All our I'm All In subscribers can now request the training of any untrained chatbot so that it can be available for Conversation Images. This includes training your private bots, or any public bot that has not been trained...

We experienced a failure from our authentication provider on Sunday from 1:45 a.m. EST to 3:05 a.m. EST. During that period of time, everyone got logged out of our service and couldn't log back in.
The issue is now resolved, we apologize for the disruption.

We are happy to finally release our new conversation images feature!
How it works?
We've fine-tuned a custom AI model for each of the bots that are available for this new feature (over 50,000 public bots). This fine-tuning have allowed the AI to learn how to generate similar images, however because this is done on only 1 image, it might also attempt to replicate the style of the image or other details of the image.
When you request for an image to be generated within a con...

While we've been quiet about feature updates, we've been working in the background on some cool things.
We expect to be releasing Conversation Images Generation in 10-14 days. While the initial results are not perfect, the feature will certainly be entertaining!
Here's in a nutshell how it works: We train a custom diffusion model on each of the chatbot using the one Avatar image that we have. When you have a conversation with that chatbot, it will use the ph...

Thank you for the feedback provided on the switch from the default model, ChronosHermes-13b, to our custom-tuned SpicyLlama2-13b. The feedback was mixed.
We pride ourselves on making data-driven decisions and not relying solely on first impressions. After reviewing the user submitted feedback from the past week, we've decided to revert to the previous model.
The default model has now returned to ChronosHermes-13b. We plan to reintroduce SpicyLlama in the coming we...

After doing an update to the platform on Wednesday, 4pm EST to allow testing new AI models, we introduced a bug that resulted in about 25% of text generations to be empty.
The issue was identified and fixed at around 12pm EST today (Thursday), so during 20 hours, we generated 694,435 empty responses.
We apologize 694,435 times for not catching and fixing that issue faster.
Thanks for your patience and continuous support!

We've enabled the first iteration of Semantic Memory for all paying subscribers. If you notice any issues, please report them on Discord.
How does Semantic Memory works?
The AI models that we currently use have a limit of 2048 tokens (around 1500 words) that can be used to prompt and get a reply from your chatbot. That limitation means that we can only keep a recent portion of your conversation when generating a reply.
What Semantic Memory do is identify...

I feel things are stable now, we now have 13 servers in front of two load balancers that manage the generation queue.
Today I fixed errors with the Generate Avatar that was often failing. Also added a limit of 30 avatar generations per day.
Now that things are stable, I'll be taking it easy this weekend, so you won't see me around much.
The priorities I have in mind for next week:

Good afternoon! Over the last days, we've made good progress stabilizing the servers and it should soon get better with less errors once I finalize the configuration of the load balancer/reverse proxy.
We now have 12 x A100 running, at a cost of around $10k per month.
In 5 days, we grew from 0 to 20,000 visitors a day and 11,000 registered users. There's now 1200 public characters out of 6150 characters created. More than 1.7M messages have been sent during that period of time.
