It is great that you are willing to support the project financially to bring the old model back. But if they introduce mandatory sub fees, the whole meaning of this website will be lost. No matter how much we want the smart model back, Perchance was always meant to be a free digital canvas. It is like having a brush and paints that you borrowed from a friend to create art. Anyone should be able to just come here, build something for fun, and share it with the world without a price tag. Turning this place into a commercial service with paywalls would completely ruin its soul and its freedom.

Thanks for the link. I see now that it was an emergency downgrade due to server costs. Glad to know the developer is looking for a way to bring a smarter model and the thinking text back. We'll just have to wait.

The worst-case scenario is if they start charging for it, but as we know, the site isn't commercial. So hopefully the developer will find a free alternative soon.

You made some fair points, and I agree that "take what you get" is the reality right now. But honestly, this bad. The whole point of having an AI "assistant in a chat" is to just talk, share an idea, and build things together. I want to communicate, not spend half my time engineering massive prompts, micromanaging its steps, and pointing fingers at every single mistake like I'm babysitting a ten year old text generator. Yes, we can adjust, but we shouldn't pretend that turning a smart assistant into a literalist machine that requires manual guiding is a fun experience. But please don't get me wrong, I'm not just here to criticize. I understand that the developer had to do this because of server costs, and it is a tough situation. I really appreciate everything the dev does for this site, so I guess we all just need to be patient, stop whining, and wait for better days.

As difficult as it is to accept, we need to adapt to the current situation. A high-quality AI agent won't be available in the foreseeable future, so our best option is to work with the tools currently at hand

I agree I thought I was the only one, but it seems to have affected practically everyone it’s all pretty complicated. And that’s not even touching on the design aspect: the old model excelled at sculpting and icon generation it was reliable. Here’s my experience: the AI ​​agent used to understand exactly how a character should hold an object and what the texture should look like. Take a pickaxe, for instance the old model knew how the character should hold it, whereas now, if you give the new model the same instruction, it might end up placing the pickaxe in the hand upside down. Can’t the system double-check that?

That 2GB thing has been around for a while about a month or a month and a half so it’s nothing new.

I had something similar happen, but in the chat with him rather than on his page.

I still don't get it, I can't see his thoughts. If that's what you're talking about, just forget it it's a standard glitch. I had something similar happen back when the AI ​​agent was working fine. I hope they bring back the proper AI if this is just a temporary issue, the developers are understandable I just hope it's not a case of them slacking off.
