Brought to you by Cohee, RossAscends, and the SillyTavern community, SillyTavern is a local-install interface that allows you to interact with text generation AIs (LLMs) to chat and roleplay with custom characters.
SillyTavern originated as a modification of TavernAI 1.2.8 in February 2023, and has since added many cutting-edge features not present in the original TavernAI.
SillyTavern is being developed using a two-branch system to ensure a smooth experience for all users.
