Choosing Your LLM Model
What are LLMs?
- LLM (Large Language Model) powers the AI responses in your Storyline
- Different models offer varying quality, speed, and context capabilities
- Each model has its own strengths, weaknesses, and costs
Three Types of LLM Models
Free Models
- Completely free to use - no Mana or Arcane credits required
- Best for casual play or testing Storylines
- Lower context limits and may have basic capabilities
Standard Models
- Uses Mana credits as primary currency
- If Mana runs out, automatically switches to Arcane credits
- Moderate context limits and capabilities
- Uses Arcane credits only
- Highest quality responses and largest context windows
- Best for immersive, complex storylines
- Advanced capabilities and superior performance
Understanding Model Costs
- Input Tokens: Cost per 1 million tokens you send (your messages)
- Output Tokens: Cost per 1 million tokens the AI generates (AI responses)
Example:
- Free Model: 0 Mana/Arcane for both input and output
- Standard Model: 28 Mana per 1M input, 42 Mana per 1M output
- Premium Model: Higher Arcane costs for premium quality
