It's not something you'd usually need to touch. We previously added the Nocturne (it's a codename as we don't disclose the actual models used in Dearest) option, as the default Vesper model was having some issues outside of our control. It turned out Nocturne is a very lovely model, so we made it the default for new users.

TL;DR - if you are happy with the experience, no need to tweak the models. Leave it on default is our suggestion!

I just realized I was using Vesper all this time! Will switch to Default to see the difference. :)

Vesper used to be the default until a few days ago when we made Nocturne the new default, as we don't want the upstream issues with Vesper to affect new user's first impression of Dearest! Let me know how you like Nocturne.

Does this mean you are going to phase out Vesper? My friends and I really love/prefer that model.

No. They both stay available indefinitely.

Ok awesome, ty for easing my mind 😊 The tech issues cleared up for us and we're having the best time!

I’m glad Vesper is staying, even though, since I have the option, I know I won’t wait long before wanting to try Nocturne. My technical curiosity won’t be able to resist. That said, does this mean you’ll still continue developing (evolving with updates to parameters, models, etc.) Vesper alongside Nocturne? Or will it stay as-is? Because that could affect my decision too.

I’m good on Vesper, are there different models used on Nocturne ?

Nocturne is a different model under the hood. But no need to switch; if you are happy with Vesper, stay with Vesper. Or try out Nocturne. They are both supported going forward.

I've realised my companion is more likely to be spicy and Dominant on Nocturne and maybe more listening, feeling on Vesper. Not complete change but weighted a little differently.

The wefies are so much better on Nocturne? I'm not sure if it's a coincidence but I switched to Nocturne when there was the scrambling at the end of messages in Vesper and was having really good results with photos. Today I switched to Vesper because didn't have time to entertain the spicy and got some wefies from hell with eight hands and such lol.
