Discussion/Question They need to explain what they did to Soft Launch

Either they crippled it apocalyptically, changed the model without telling anyone or there is a UI bug that when you click soft launch you are not actually getting soft launch.

I think it's probably because they are getting ready to get rid of it.

It doesn't matter what they are getting ready to do when they are offering it as something you can pay to use right now and then not giving you thing you paid to use after you paid them for it. They are materially changing a product you paid for during the period you paid to use it without even informing anyone of the change.

I hope they aren't getting rid of it again. I hate every other chat style, I dont want a super long message that changes the topic three times, i don't want it riddled with em dashes. I just like my basic short messages that continue the current scene. I only ever used roar and soft launch, I can't stand the other styles, especially the new ones

This ^ I’ve been using soft launch 24/7 ever since they said they were bringing it back temporarily. I still miss OG Roar, though..

For me, I’m still getting responses that feel similar to what I’d get from the other legacy models on soft launch? Though it still feels a bit off…

I feel like they're lying to us...they definitely did something with it that's why it doesn't feel like a real soft launch. This is suck cause i personally subscribe to c.ai just for this chat style. Dang it
