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.", "body_md": "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.\n\nWe have a [Documentation website](https://docs.sillytavern.app/) to answer most of your questions and help you get started.\n\nSillyTavern (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.\n\nBeginning 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.\n\n- 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!\n- We do not provide any online or hosted services, nor programmatically track any user data.\n- SillyTavern is a passion project brought to you by a dedicated community of LLM enthusiasts, and will always be free and open sourced.\n\nThe 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.\n\n|\n|---|\n\nOr get in touch with the developers directly:\n\n- Discord: cohee, rossascends, wolfsblvt\n- Reddit:\n[/u/RossAscends](https://www.reddit.com/user/RossAscends/),[/u/sillylossy](https://www.reddit.com/user/sillylossy/),[u/Wolfsblvt](https://www.reddit.com/user/Wolfsblvt/) [Post a GitHub issue](https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern/issues)\n\n- Send pull requests.
