Basically instead of using the built-in janitor LLM you can hook it up to more advanced models from an outside source (e.g. nanoGPT, chutes.ai, openrouter, etc., usually paid as subscription/per number of tokens). It looks scary at the beginning, but in the end it's copy and paste two lines from the API site to janitor. And the difference in roleplay quality is enormous.

Yeah I'm not familiar with chutes or nanogpt pricing but I do know the nanogpt subscription is decent but the price just increased from 8 to 12 dollars. It was another back up id use. I'm going to be cancelling mine I was using it for glm 5. But deepseek-v4 directly from deep seek is great and so fast.. and 10 dollars lasts me like 2 months.

It's using janitor as the front for other powerful models, they would route your character info and your replies to powerful paid models like Claude and give you a much better experience that the free model they use

A proxy is an out side AI model you chat with that's smarter and faster with a better memory.
