Interlude Chapter — How To Connect

Gemini models are available for free. Don't use OpenRouter. They have sussy wussy tactics of cutting out contexts in the middle, their version of the model is more censored, and it works slower. Honestly, don't use OpenRouter.

  1. Go to https://aistudio.google.com/.
  2. Log in via your Gmail account (no, I won't tell you how to create one, go figure that one out yourself, you're a big boy/girl/bean).
  3. Go to Get API Key tab.
  4. Click "Create API Key".

  1. Copy the API Key you got.
  2. Go to SillyTavern and choose the Connections tab (the one with the plug icon).
  3. Choose "Chat Completion" for API and "Google AI Studio" for Chat Completion Source.
  4. Paste your API Key and press "Connect".

  1. All done!
