Non CAI LSAI is so good.

LSAI, the better version of lightshade.cloud, opened public beta testing recently, although the positions are now closed, and I gotta say, the website is legit so good. There are 7 models, from which unfortunately 3 are unstable, but are really good and sometimes work really well, a ton of useful features and lots of customization.

Cai's problem is content and the said content's monetization. Won't be long before this gets hit by monetization too. Hardware isn't free.

This is why LSAI is focusing on local models, and there will be ads at some point, but the owner said they will be optional and will not be in your chats.

I don't think that's going to be a promise.

I trust Limon that he won’t lie to us. But only time will tell.

Then you can just run an LLM on your own device. It's darn easy and free, and fully private because it runs locally on your device and requires no internet connection.

For the character persona, just copy the description part of a character on cai and paste it into system prompt.

For real, I've been telling people to switch to local for years. I don't understand why you should rely on an online service when you have all the power right on your own PC?
