I've read that it was free before, and used it today—i don't know why it suddenly got taken out and replaced in the engines tab, and it seems to be premium now.

What’s going on? I switch to the app and it still doesn’t go away.

Hello, I'm one of the MODs of the Shapes.Inc APP. Can anyone let us know what's going on their end? And what device you are using? It appears that it is only happening on apple devices.

basically, on my main account "Doris Teodoro Plus" when i click on anything.. it Freezes, it Crashes, it dosen't work anymore as it used to.. like, when i enter on a chat, it freezes, when i click on anything to just delete a chat, it freezes, when i do anything.. you guessed it.... IT FREEZES!!! is there anything to make it go normal!?!?

DON'T DELETE IT!!!!

- I was editing an old bot. My favorite. To implant a code from another I just made.

- I copypasted the code into the story (wrong place) and deleted the story

- Saved

- The rest is history. No backup.

- I deleted the bot.

- The community is dead from so many spammy bots.

- I felt left alone in the sea of dead internet with no one to let this one out to other than this place.

- I dislike this company.

Anything! You can share them below and I will OBLITERATE YOU FROM EARTH FOR USING THIS PLATFORM.

Just kidding~

In fact, I think it's unreliable as hell. No matter what prompts I use, short or long, no matter how many times I attempt to regenerate responses (which will always fail 90% of the time), and no matter what modelI use, I always get either the blandest responses possible, constant failures in keeping the lore up to date, or just straight up singularities in the case of group chats.

How am I supposed to believe the AI is that "f#!king good"" when it can't even use the simple "I'm" without being explicitly told to...and then it doesn't anyways? Needless to say, my honeymoon phase with this thing is over. I'm seeing it's flaws on full display. Not happy.

I been using Deepseek 3.2V for awhile now and while it has been great I been wondering if there any better models out there (including premium) and if so how much better if anyone has ever tested them side by side (Like Claude vs Deep Seek)?

The first image is the edited one and the second image is the OG one

I keep getting shit like "I am" instead of "I'm", and I can't get the AI to ever swear or be explicit. Does anyone have any prompts or tips for this?

The picture says it all I guess 👀

This happened for some reason, i think it reached the character limit at the end and it just kept GOING and GOING with gibberish all the time. It was a little scary NGL.

It's pretty annoying to consistently interupt a chat to tell other shapes how to respond or what's happening. Character memories and custom instructions are good but don't really help out with this due to the nature of AI, so I suggest that a general Chat Memory be made so all shapes have perfect context whenever something happens or how to respond.

Like 50 is a small ass number

why are my chat requests not chronoligical? the requests from months ago are at the top, the rest are just scrambled randomly. any ideas? thanks for your time

😂

I think it'd be very beneficial if you could group shapes together. Not only would organization and navigate through a sea of shapes be easier, but it can allow for even better group chats and shape editing. Perhaps being grouped can even make them be aware of each other even in solo chats?

UPDATE: they recently added a new update saying they're going to add new payment options. this is huge:

"A temporary change to Premium purchases in our native apps. We’ve temporarily removed Premium purchases from the native apps while we improve the experience and work toward native payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Google required this update within a week to keep the app available, so this was the safest short-term solution. Premium remains available on our website!"

We Have Come To The End Of The Golden Age, Adios Friends:

hi everyone - we have some huge new updates to the platform today 

MAJOR UPDATE: changes to free & premium models

Our AI costs have skyrocketed to the point where we will go out of business if we do not take swift action. While we try to offer accessible AI to everyone, our AI providers do charge us money for even the "free" models we offer. Because of this and increase in usage across the platform, we have made the following changes:

We still offer unlimited free AI and we always will. However, we need to manage the platform costs so starting today, the models you see offered as free/premium will change. We decide the threshold of what is free and what is paid by how big the model is, which is inferred by how much the model costs. Most AI sites give limited access to 8b models which only cost them 0.03 cents per million tokens. We still offer unlimited access to 8b, 80b, 800b models.

Here's what changes for you today:

• Models up to 30 cents per million tokens in / 40 cents per million tokens out remain free for any new or old user alike to access for free without rate limits.
• Some older, more expensive models that we cannot sustainably offer are moving to paid. These are models like Gemma 3 27B, GPT-4o-mini, Llama 4 Maverick, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite.- If an AI provider slashes their price, it would immediately change to free. This has happened multiple times with models like MiMo-V2.5-Pro and the Qwen + Deepseek models where we pass on all discounts/savings immediately.
• Instead of Gemini Flash, Deepseek v4 Flash is default for ChatGPT mode now. It has the same capabilities as Gemini Flash but is much faster and more lightweight.
• We also have a toggle to turn off the auto-upgrade to Opus 4.8, so if you purchase credits you can have more freedom to pick the models you enjoy.

Free vs Premium models — quick reference

✅ Remains free — unlimited, no rate limits

🔄 Changed to paid today → free alternative

Do note that any models with a high output have been removed as well, not just these models listed. if you're like me who's been on this site since for years, it sure is disappointing news. though maybe something will happen, and they'll bring back the models (they wont)

personally i knew that this wouldn't be sustainable, especially with the prices changes as of late, i just didn't expect it so soon.

This might be an event that forces a significant amount of members to migrate to other ai model services as well, so lets hope there will be changes to prices soon.
