Alright, so how we doing?

Hello, everyone. If you've somehow yet to try talking to a character today, then let me be the one to tell you that you might be disappointed to learn that the popular proxy at the time, Chutes/Deepseek has been disabled for free accounts. What this means if you want to continue using this service you'll have to make a deposit of about five dollars to ChutesAI to your account's balance. However, this comes with the caveat that you'll still be limited to about 200 messages on a daily basis, even with them still it a free account.

One alternative I've seen being talked about is going back to direct Openrouter, because giving it ten dollars gives you a good daily limit of 1000 messages, compared to Chutes 200 message limit. While this is definitely better value, the one time I've used Openrouter in the past it was rather incoherent for me to use, while Chutes was rather easier for me to set up. Another option I've seen talked about that's free is "Gemini", but I haven't a single clue what that is, so you'll have to do your own research as to what that deal is on your own.

Anyways, as for me, I just sent my five bucks to Chutes today (an extravagant amount of money, this'll surely be the winter that I perish in the street as God's punishment for being jobless), but I am interest to see where everyone is at at right now in terms of what they're doing with proxies (or JLLM if all else fails). Let's talk. I'm still working on a little bot for a hashtag I'm interested in, so I'll probably have that uploaded a little later today... or tomorrow, if nothing else. I am just a little concerned about waiting a bit, since some bot creators are suggesting giving some time in between making bots to allow people to make their switch to other proxies, so that their followers can interact with their bots at a reasonable time (or fucking whatever).
