magi_llm_gui VS SillyTavern-Extras

Other than Ooba, this is my fav (and works with a TON of model architectures) -> https://github.com/shinomakoi/magi_llm_gui

As for SillyTavern, you need the main SillyTavern frontend and SillyTavern-extras (for TTS, STT, etc.) They're pretty easy to install. SillyTavern connects to oobabooga and SillyTavern-extras via API.

Sure, best bet is to follow the instructions on the ST extra's github. It gives a good step by step guide to setting up and running all the addon's. Here is a link in case you need it. https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-extras

If you want the best roleplaying experience, I can only recommend SillyTavern with SillyTavern/SillyTavern-extras. The extras include summarization and ChromaDB, both helping to get longer and more coherent chats.

If you haven't already, I sugget you to instal SillyTavern Extra which you can add objective with task, character expression ( personally I generate expression with stable diffusion), and text to speech to diffrent character. You can also set a group scenario if you create group.

Instead, I use the summarize extension for SillyTavern, which is serviceable: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-extras

It doesn't have to be the end. Do what I'm doing and get SillyTavern, use their extension (for expressive sprites), open an OAI account, create some Umineko bots, import your own sprites, and start chatting with them. There's been a lot of advancements in AI visual novel tech. Here's me and the UI's creator in a 5-way group chat with the Quintessential Quintuplets.

The sillytavern-extras: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-extras Classify-extension handles expression, provided you have the pictures. The clever model mentioned in the readme can handle 28 different expressions. It evaluates *while generating* so it can change the pic of 'current speaker', so it'll change as speakers change. I've not spent much time with the group chat, so I never figured out how to do it like it was meant to. BTW, of extras, chromadb is cool, look into it.
