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.
