Pre-Release 1.5.2-BETA.1
Hello, today I'm releasing a big update!
It doesn't add any content but greatly improve the performances of the game. Because it brings a lot of breaking changes, it will remain in experimental for some time. To use this new version, enable it in the beta tab on Steam.
Limitations
- The models KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Adventure and KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Skein aren't supporting the new version yet. - You have to redownload all the models.
Client
- Made compatible the client with the new server's version. - The AI's files are now all stored in the same folder in `models` - Added many new options to optimize the performances. - Added an option to allow the server to download the AI by itself (It will be useful for custom models, later).
Server
- The server can now run the AI on both the GPU and CPU at the same time. - No more memory peak when loading the AI - Added an option to limit the memory used (for both the GPU and CPU) - Added an option to write data in a folder instead of using the memory - The config file has now much more options.
Hello everyone. Today I'm releasing a long awaited (for some of you) patch. I'm only releasing it in beta for now because it can have big unexpected impacts. Therefore, I believe it is safer to make it available only for volunteers for now. To use it, you will have to enable the "experimental" beta in the game's settings on Steam.
Changelog
- Updated the dependencies of the server. Detailed changelog of the server, here - Updated the installer to download the new dependencies. - Updated the client to replace max_length parameter by max_token_length which is more efficient. - Updated the Polish translation.

Community report of April 2023
Hi everyone. For this month I publish another small report !
Server's dependencies
I updated the server and published a new version. It will be shipped with the game in the next release. The next release should come out by the end of the month or May. However, an experimental version (for those who can't wait) should come out earlier!
I did some stats, and I'm happy to tell you the generation is now a bit faster. It is ~10% faster (9.5% for generation with CPU and 12% for GPU generation). Stats made with gpt2-large (for the CPU) and gpt2-medium (for the GPU) The bigger the AI the more significant will be this improvement.
My current focus
Because of my limited time, I will focus mainly on fixing bugs and improving the server. About the server, I would like to implement the usage of both the CPU and GPU at the same time. This would be great for users willing to run the big AIs.
A guide for players
As I said in the last report, we now have a very good and complete guide on Steam I recommend reading it. You will learn something (or many things) new!
Thank you for reading!
Community Report of March 2023!
Hi everyone. This month it will be a very small report because not much happened!
As I said in the previous report. I have a full time job and little time to work on AIdventure.
The update of the server's dependencies
The server runs on top of Transformers. The transformers' library had many updates and I plan to upgrade to a more recent version.
By updating I hope to improve the stability, the performances and fix the GPU not working for some cards.
A guide for players
A community member, patman124, created a very good and complete guide on Steam. You can read it on Steam
That's all for this month!

Community report of January 2023
Hi everyone. I wish you happy new year. Today's come out the first report of 2023.
A few days ago I released the 1.5.0 which introduced the Steam Workshop. Now the next updates will be small patches to fix some problems.
The Korean translator
In the 1.5.0 I tried a new type of AI to support the Korean. It was a failure and the Korean will be removed from the game until I have decent results. Sorry for the false hope.
The Turkish translator has the same problem, but I'm replacing it with another one which gave good results during my tests.
This year's plan
I'm still employed full time. This mean I won't have much time to update the game. During December, I had a lot of free time and managed to work a lot on AIdventure but, it was an exception.
The next big update should be a full rework of the interface. The actual UI is... It is what it is. It will make the whole experience smoother for new players and nicer for users playing in full screen.
After the UI update, I should be working on the extension of the RPG system. This update should bring a lot of cool new features and bring AIdventure closer to its final state. However, because it will add new stuff it will also take more time! I can't give any release date.
