✨ New Web Updates: Smarter Avatars & a Cleaner Chat Experience

We’ve rolled out a couple of exciting improvements on the web that give you more control, better flow, and a smoother creative experience.

🎨 Improved Avatar Generation 

We’ve revamped the Avatar Generator with new models and tools to help you fine-tune your characters more easily.

What’s new:

  • New powerful image models: Z-Image, Flux2 Klein, and Qwen Image
  • AI-assisted image editing – make refinements after generating an image to get exactly what you want (like fixing deformities or removing unwanted elements)
  • Image cropping to better fit avatars on chatbot cards
  • Style picker for easier style selection from a list of predefined styles
  • Larger editing playground on desktop
  • Improved full-screen image viewer



A couple of important notes:

  • These new models work best with detailed, prose-style descriptions. If you don’t describe a background or setting, the image may generate without one.

💬 Cleaner, More Focused Chat Input

We’ve also reworked the chat input to make conversations feel more fluid and less cluttered.

What’s changed:

  • The text input is now focused purely on typing and all secondary actions (voice, image upload, suggest reply, commands, web search) have been moved into a new “+” action menu
  • Opening or closing the menu won’t affect your typed text
  • Actions only trigger when you explicitly tap them — no more accidental interruptions
  • Images can now be dragged and dropped directly into chat
  • Image-only messages are supported
  • You can remove an attached image with a confirmation prompt
  • When using commands (like OOC or Search), the input clearly switches into a command mode, making it visually distinct from normal messages

The goal here is simple: less friction, fewer mistakes, and a smoother writing flow.

📌 Availability
These updates are currently web-only and not yet available in native apps.

As always, thank you for the feedback that helped shape these improvements. We’re excited to see what you create with them  💜

Enhancements Across Chat, Lorebooks & Discovery

Let’s start 2026 with a bang. We’ve got a few exciting updates and improvements to share with you.

📘 Private Lorebooks Now on Android

Private Lorebooks are now fully available on our Android app, bringing the same experience you’ve had on web straight to mobile app.

The feature is available in the latest version of the app. The new version is rolling out automatically over the next few days. If you’re eager to jump in now, just update the app manually from the Google Play Store.

Public Lorebooks are on the roadmap for 2026, so stay tuned for that. 

⚙️ New Feature: Generation Presets (Web Only for Now)

As we continue to introduce more models that work better with different generation settings, we know switching generation settings manually over and over can get tedious.

That’s why we’re introducing Generation Presets. You can now save your preferred generation settings and switch between them instantly while chatting. 

This feature is for subscribers only.

📖 You can read more about Generation Presets here


🔄 Refresh Recommendations

We’ve added a Refresh Recommendations option for users who feel their recommendations page hasn’t changed in a while.

This lets you:

- Pull in the latest recommendations

- Refresh the list if it feels stuck

Please note: this won’t change anything if you’re already seeing the most up-to-date recommendations.


🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

We’ve also shipped several quality-of-life fixes across web and Android:

- Fixed an issue where the Home page wouldn’t auto-scroll to the top when changing pages.

- Resolved a bug where the Android UI could block the “See More” button on chatbot profiles.

Additional UI and UX improvements to Lorebooks for smoother creation and editing.

That’s it for this update. As always, thank you for your feedback and support — it directly shapes what we build next.

Happy Chatting! 💜

Group Chat And Lorebooks Are Here! (Web Only)

Looks like Santa couldn’t wait this year. 🎅
We’re excited (and honestly a little proud) to finally release two of the most requested features in PixelChat’s history — Group Chats and Lorebooks — at the same time.

These features are all about bigger stories, deeper worlds, and more immersive roleplay, and they’ve been built directly from your feedback.


💬 Group Chats — One Conversation, Many Characters

Ever wished your roleplay felt more like a living universe instead of a one-on-one chat?
Group Chats make that possible.

With Group Chats, you can bring multiple chatbots into a single conversation and let them interact with each other and with you. Different personalities, shifting dynamics, shared scenes — it all unfolds naturally in one place.

Groups are public, so you can either create your own or explore the ones created by others. 

Key things to know about Group Chats:

  • Available to all users
  • You can add 2–10 chatbots to a single group
  • Groups can be Public, Private, or Unlisted
  • Public groups go through moderation, just like public characters
    (approval times may be a bit longer as we scale this new workflow)

Learn how to create, use, and all the details about groups here: Group Chat Guide




📘 Lorebooks — Build Worlds Without Limits

Lorebooks solve a problem many creators know too well:
“I want my character to have more history, more worldbuilding, more depth… but I’m out of space (tokens).”

A Lorebook is your private knowledge library — a place to store background details, timelines, locations, relationships, and universe rules. During chat, relevant lore is automatically pulled in when it matters, keeping conversations consistent without overwhelming the model.

Instead of cramming everything into a character description, you add the details to the Lorebook.

What to know about Lorebooks:

  • Lorebooks are private
  • Available to all users
  • You can attach one Lorebook to multiple characters

📘 There’s a lot to Lorebooks and unfortunately I can’t add everything in the post, please read the documentation here and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Lorebooks Guide

Public Lorebooks will follow early next year.

Please note that these features are available on Web only, will come to the mobile apps soon. 

We truly believe these two features unlock a new level of roleplay on PixelChat — bigger casts, richer worlds, and stories that can grow without limits.

Santa delivered… now it’s your turn to build something incredible. 🎁🔥

📸 New Feature Drop: Your Chatbots Can Now See!

Today we are introducing one of our most immersive features yet!

You can now send images to your characters — and they can actually see and understand them.

Whether it’s a picture of an outfit, a scene you want them to react to, a prop for your roleplay, or a visual detail you want them to notice…
 your chatbot will see the image and respond with that context in mind.

This opens up a whole new layer of storytelling, creativity, and interaction. 🔥


How to Use It

  1. Click the “+” icon next to the chatbox.
  2. Upload an image (make sure it follows our Community Guidelines).
  3. (Optional) Add a message along with the image.
  4. Send — and your chatbot will see the image and respond to it.

Important Notes

- Only images you upload are seen by the AI and added into context memory, in-chat generated images aren’t.
- Image context stays in memory just like regular messages (within your tier’s token limits).
- Uploaded images are not used as references for generating new images in conversation.
- Web only for now — mobile app support coming later.

✅ Service Restored After Brief Outage

Earlier today, Pixelchat experienced a brief outage lasting around 30 minutes due to a temporary service disruption. The issue has now been fully resolved, and everything should be back to normal.

We’re monitoring things closely to ensure stability and prevent this from happening again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we got things back up and running. 💜

New AI Model for All

We're pleased to announce that we're expanding our model lineup to bring more variety and creativity to both free and paid tiers! 

🆕 New Model:

SpicedQ3 A3B (Available to all users – Free Tier included!)
A bold, creative twist on the Qwen3 30B base, SpicedQ3 A3B adds extra flavor to your chats with emotionally expressive dialogue, vibrant character interactions, and a playful storytelling style. It also shows promising performance in non-English conversations, making it a fun and flexible choice for diverse users—all without needing a subscription.


🔁 Model Updates:

Stheno 8B is now available to everyone on the free tier. This model is ideal for immersive, character-driven storytelling.

WizardLM2 8x22B (Now available to True Supporter tier – previously exclusive to I'm All In tier)
While not a new model, WizardLM2 8x22B is now more accessible! Known for its thoughtful, coherent writing and strong character consistency, it shines in story-rich roleplay. 

While these additions are exciting and offer more variety, they don't rival with our premium tier models PixelXL, Qwen3-235B or Deepseek. For the ultimate roleplay experience, upgrade to our highest tier.

Wondering how to choose a different model? You can do so from the Generation Settings accessible from the menu on the Chat page.

New AI Models Are Live! 🎉

We’ve got some exciting new models for you! We worked hard to bring something for all paid tiers—whether you love deep storytelling, anime-style interactions, or long, immersive chats. Here’s what’s new!

💎 I’m All In Models – For the Ultimate Experience

Deepseek V3 671B

 We love to push limits and see what’s possible. This time, we're taking a huge leap—introducing a model that's 5x larger than our biggest model, PixelXL, making it the most advanced AI we've ever released. Expect deeper conversations, smarter responses, and more immersive roleplays.

⚠ Due to its size, it may respond slower—but the experience is worth it! Available until at least April 15th.

Euryale 70B

 If you loved Stheno, you’ll love Euryale even more! This model is better at remembering details, sticking to prompts (better continuity), and keeping your roleplay engaging. Great for those who want more control over their character interactions.

PixelXL 132B – Now with 16K Context Memory!

 PixelXL has already become a fan favorite, and now it’s even better!

  • We’ve doubled its memory—meaning it can now remember more details from past messages.
  • It’s great for long conversations and can handle multiple characters in one scene with ease.

🎀 True Supporters

Shimizu 24B

 Perfect for deep, meaningful roleplays that is multilingual, supporting French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. If you love well-developed stories, this is a great choice.

🌸 Get A Taste

Stheno 8B

 A great mid-sized model that’s fun, engaging, and keeps roleplays dynamic. If you want a mix of creativity and speed, this is an excellent choice.

💭 What’s Up with All These Numbers?

The number next to the model (e.g., 671B, 132B) is the number of AI parameters in billions.

  • Bigger models = Smarter AI, more knowledge, and better responses.
  • Larger models can also speak more languages and handle more complex interactions.
  • Our biggest model is 80x larger than our default AI (and 80x more expensive to run 😅).

🧠 What is 16K context memory?

This tells you how many words (tokens) the model can remember.

A 16K context can store about 85 messages from your chat history for each generation. This means your characters will have better memory and continuity!

We’re so excited to hear what you think—which model are you trying first?

To change Model access, go to "Generation Settings" from the conversation menu on the chat page:
