AI Options

CreatureChat™ requires an AI / LLM (large language model) to generate text (characters and chat). There are many different options for connecting an LLM.

Free & Local: Use open-source and free-to-use LLMs without any API fees. [Difficulty: Hard]
Bring Your Own Key: Use your own API key from providers like OpenAI or Groq. [Difficulty: Medium]

Free & Local

CreatureChat™ fully supports free and open-source LLMs. To get started:

An HTTP endpoint compatible with the OpenAI Chat Completion JSON syntax is required.
Download & install: Ollama
Run: ollama pull llama3 in your terminal
Download & install LiteLLM: pip install 'litellm' 'litellm[proxy]'
Start local server: litellm --model ollama/llama3 --port 4000
Set the API key & model in-game:
- /creaturechat url set "YOUR-LOCAL-IP-HERE:4000/v1/chat/completions"
- /creaturechat model set "ollama/llama3"
- /creaturechat timeout set 0
Additional help can be found in the #free-and-local channel on our Discord.

Bring Your Own Key

For those already using a third-party API (e.g., OpenAI, Groq):

Integrate your own API key for seamless connectivity.
Costs depend on the provider’s usage-based pricing model.
By default, CreatureChat uses the OpenAI endpoint and gpt-3.5-turbo model, known for its balance of low cost and fast performance.
Be aware that OpenAI’s developer API does not include free usage. Please review the OpenAI pricing for detailed information.
To create an OpenAI API key, visit https://platform.openai.com/api-keys, and use the + Create new secret key button.
Set the API key & model in-game:
- /creaturechat key set YOUR-SECRET-KEY-HERE
- /creaturechat model set gpt-3.5-turbo
