SillyTavern provides a single unified interface for many LLM APIs

SillyTavern, a free and open-source user interface for interacting with large language models, image generation engines, and TTS voice models, now supports over a dozen LLM APIs including OpenAI, Claude, and Mistral. The project, which began as a fork of TavernAI in February 2023, has grown to over 300 contributors and offers features like mobile-friendly layout, Visual Novel Mode, and customizable UI. SillyTavern is a locally installed passion project that does not track user data and requires only NodeJS 20 or higher to run.

SillyTavern provides a single unified interface for many LLM APIs (KoboldAI/CPP, Horde, NovelAI, Ooba, Tabby, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Claude, Mistral and more), a mobile-friendly layout, Visual Novel Mode, Automatic1111 & ComfyUI API image generation integration, TTS, WorldInfo (lorebooks), customizable UI, auto-translate, more prompt options than you'd ever want or need, and endless growth potential via third-party extensions.

We have a Documentation website to answer most of your questions and help you get started.

SillyTavern (or ST for short) is a locally installed user interface that allows you to interact with text generation LLMs, image generation engines, and TTS voice models.

Beginning in February 2023 as a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8, SillyTavern now has over 300 contributors and 3 years of independent development under its belt, and continues to serve as a leading software for savvy AI hobbyists.

  • We aim to empower users with as much utility and control over their LLM prompts as possible. The steep learning curve is part of the fun!
  • We do not provide any online or hosted services, nor programmatically track any user data.
  • SillyTavern is a passion project brought to you by a dedicated community of LLM enthusiasts, and will always be free and open sourced.

The hardware requirements are minimal: it will run on anything that can run NodeJS 20 or higher. If you intend to do LLM inference on your local machine, we recommend a 3000-series NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6GB of VRAM, but actual requirements may vary depending on the model and backend you choose to use.
