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 llama3in 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-turbomodel, 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
