Models for roleplay
This is a curated list, not a filter. The other facets apply a rule to the whole catalog — a price ceiling, a context floor — and this one cannot: “good at roleplay” is a judgement, so the membership and the order are ours, and we would rather label that than dress it up as a computation.

Reliability notes
Some of these have nowhere to fail over to. Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is served by a single registered upstream right now. Multi-provider failover is the reliability argument for everything else we run, and it does not apply here: if that upstream has an outage, the model is simply unavailable for its duration. It stays on this list because it earns its place on output quality — but you should know what you are choosing. How failover works.
Not currently in the catalog. nousresearch/hermes-4-70b, sao10k/l3.3-euryale-70b, mistral/mistral-small-3.2 are on our candidate list but do not resolve in the live catalog, so they are not listed above. We would rather show you a short list that works than a long one that half-404s.
Client setup for SillyTavern, RisuAI and Agnai — and what we store, which is not your prompts — is on /use/roleplay. The arithmetic for what one message costs at these rates is in the cost guide.
