A few useful updates went live this week, including model changes, quality-of-life improvements, and fixes across the platform.

Zeta G4 is now part of the Default model selection

Since its release, Zeta G4 has become a favorite among Free and Get a Taste users and has been performing well across the platform.

We’ve now added it as one of the models used under the Default selection. Upgrading the default experience from 8B to 26B model. 

Since the default model changes now and then, Zeta G4 is also still available separately, so you can select it directly whenever you specifically want to use it.

We’ve also made the previous default model, Lyra Spiced, available as its own option for anyone who preferred its style. It’s a fine-tuned version of Lyra that works well for lighter, general-purpose roleplays.

 Other improvements/features 

• You can now sort chats by Recent, Oldest, or Most Active.
• Restored Sort by Name on the My Chatbots page.
• Voice playback is now hidden on bot messages longer than 2,000 characters, since TTS does not support messages beyond that length.
• One of the most frustrating issues was losing a message you had spent time writing when an error occurred. Failed messages will now remain saved as a draft, so you can try sending them again instead of starting over.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue on Android where chatbot cards displayed every assigned tag instead of a limited number.
• Fixed an issue on Android where the Copy Message option could be cut off on longer messages.

As always, thank you for the feedback and reports. 💜

A few useful updates went out this week, including some quality-of-life improvements, an important conversation access fix, and a small model lineup change.

Favorites page now has a dedicated Groups tab

We’ve added a dedicated Groups tab to the Favorites page.

Previously, favorite groups were shown together with chatbots. You can now browse your favorite Chatbots and Groups separately, which should make the page cleaner and easier to use.

Clearer subscription info for one-time payments

Users with one-time payment subscriptions now have a Manage Subscription option that opens a read-only subscription overview page.

This page shows your plan, payment type, expiry date, and days remaining. No more guessing about when your subscription will run out or whether you need to cancel.

Conversation access fix

We fixed a major issue where users could lose access to their conversations if a character was made private or removed from the platform by the creator or moderation team.

This has now been fixed, and you should be able to access your existing conversations even if something happens to the character later.

We saw some speculation and frustration around this one, so just to be clear: this was a bug, not an intended change. Thanks to everyone who reported it and helped us track it down.

WizardLM 144B has been sunset

We also sunset WizardLM 144B this week.

The model was outdated and had very low usage, so we’ve removed it from the model lineup.

Apart from that, we’ve made a few smaller improvements and bug fixes across the platform.

As always, thank you for the reports, feedback, and patience. 💜

Hey everyone 👋

Nothing too major this week, but we do have one requested improvement for creators.

Small edits now apply instantly

Some creator edits will now apply immediately instead of going through review.

This includes edits limited to:

• Tags
• The Exclude from Group Chats toggle
• The Show Personality toggle
• Attaching or removing a voice
• Attaching or removing a Lorebook

Our priority is to keep creating on PixelChat fun and smooth, while still keeping the platform safe. This should make smaller updates much easier without adding unnecessary waiting time.

Also, spoiler alert for free users: something nice is cooking for you. 👀

A smaller update this week, but we’ve pushed a few useful fixes and improvements across web and mobile.

Russian payment methods with VPN

Russian users should now be able to access Russian payment methods even when using a VPN.

On the checkout page, set your Billing Country to Russia, and the available Russian payment methods should load correctly.

Web fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Discard Changes confirmation did not appear on the Create and Edit Persona pages after making changes and trying to leave without saving.
• Fixed an issue where the Suggest Tags dropdown on chatbot profiles would stay open after clicking outside of it.
• Fixed an issue where some buttons on the Add Member page on group chat creation were not translated properly when using another site language.
• Fixed an issue where the Auto Suggestion button on the Create Group page was not generating content for the Greeting and Scenario fields.

Mobile app fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Generate Image modal could not be scrolled properly while the keyboard was open, making some fields hard to access while typing.
• Fixed an issue where the Unsaved Changes popup appeared on the Create Chatbot page even when no changes had been made.

That’s it for this week.

As always, thank you for the reports and feedback. 💜

𝐇𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞,

Something has always been missing from your images: 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Up until now, your generated images in conversation could capture the story, the mood, and the character — but not your own place in the scene.

Today, that changes.

We’re excited to introduce 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞. (web only)

This new feature lets your 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚 appear directly in generated images in conversation, so instead of just watching the story unfold, you can step into it yourself — right beside your character, in the moment, as part of the scene.

It’s a small change that makes a big difference. Once you see yourself in the image, it’s hard to go back.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭

Turning it on is simple:

• Open 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬
• Select 𝐐𝐰𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 (𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 & 𝐈’𝐦 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐈𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲)
• Enable 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞

Please note: this works with Qwen Image only.

𝐀 𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬

Your Persona avatar and Persona highlights are both used to generate the image, so they should match each other as closely as possible.

For example, if your highlights describe a 25-year-old man, but your avatar shows something very different, the model may get mixed signals and the results may be less accurate.

Keeping them aligned will help your Persona appear the way you intend.

𝐀 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬

• This feature is currently available on web only
• Mobile app support is coming soon
• We’ll continue improving it over time

This is one of those features that’s best experienced for yourself.

Go ahead — step into the story. 💜

Hey everyone 👋

We've got a few updates this week, including one we're especially excited to release for creators.

📈 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞

We're excited to introduce Creator Analytics. Creators can now access a new 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 dashboard to better understand how their characters are performing over time.

The dashboard gives you visibility into things like number of messages generated, engagement, ratings, and other performance signals that can help you understand what's working and where users are spending time.

You can also adjust the time range and view analytics for individual characters, making it easier to track performance across your creations.

A few things to note:

- Analytics are not real-time and update once every 24 hours.

- Analytics are private and only visible to the creator.

You can access analytics by visiting My Chatbots and clicking on Creator Analytics.

👥 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬

We've also added creator attribution in Group Chats.

On the Group Chat profile, the original creator's username will now appear under each chatbot name, making it clearer who created each character.

🔧 𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 & 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

- The 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬 setting now only appears for 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 chatbots, since it doesn't apply to Private or Unlisted bots.

- Fixed an issue where 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬 were not loading properly.

In the next couple of weeks, we'll also improve Public Edit Moderation and prevent putting bots into review for changes like group settings, tags, etc.

That's it for this week. As always, thank you for the feedback 💜

We're excited to officially introduce 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐌 𝟓.𝟏, one of the most advanced and immersive roleplay models we've released on Pixelchat so far.

Based on feedback from our beta testers, here’s where GLAM 5.1 really stands out:

🎭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. Stronger personality consistency. More believable behavior. They stay in character — even deep into long sessions.

✍️ 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧. Natural phrasing, real nuance, far less of that telltale AI cadence.

🎬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧. Better scene progression, stronger initiative, fewer "now what?" moments where you're carrying the whole RP.

🎨 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲. Fresh dialogue, surprising turns, noticeably less repetition.

👥 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐮𝐩. Distinct voices, clear dynamics, less confusion between characters.

One tester put it simply: 𝘐𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭

GLAM 5.1 is now available exclusively for I’m All In users.
If you’ve been waiting to experience the next level of roleplay on Pixelchat, now’s the perfect time to upgrade.

Get GLAM 5.1

𝐀𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤

🔄 𝐒𝐤𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨 → 𝐒𝐤𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝

We've replaced Skylee Pro with Skylee Seed, a newer and improved version of the model with overall better quality and performance.

⏳ 𝐔𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭

We'll also be sunsetting 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐮𝐦 𝟕𝟐𝐁 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬. We know some of you still enjoy the model, so we wanted to give everyone advance notice before it's retired.

And finally… to everyone who managed to discover GLAM 5.1 yesterday before the official announcement 👀

Good job. You found the easter egg early.

As always, we'd love to hear your feedback once you've spent some time with the model. 💜

We've rolled out several improvements aimed at making the creator experience on Pixelchat smoother, more stable, and more predictable. Here's a clear walkthrough of what's new.

Human Review for Edits to Published Chatbots

Until now, edits made to already-published public chatbots were evaluated primarily through automated moderation. This worked well in most cases, but certain edits could occasionally require a closer look after publishing.

Going forward, edits submitted to already-published public chatbots will also be reviewed by our human moderation team, in addition to automated systems. This adds a second layer of care to the process and helps catch nuances that automated review alone may not.

While your edit is being reviewed, the currently approved version of your chatbot remains live and fully accessible. Your users can continue chatting with it without interruption, and you don't have to worry about downtime while waiting for the new version to be approved.

Group Chat Controls

You now have direct control over whether your chatbot can be added to public group chats created by other users.

This option is available under Advanced Settings in the chatbot editor.

Please note: This setting applies only to future group additions. Chatbots that were already added to group chats before you toggle this setting will remain in those chats and won't be affected.

Lorebook Imports

You can now bring your existing lorebooks from other platforms directly into Pixelchat — no need to recreate them from scratch.

How to use it:

1. Go to the Lorebook creation page
2. Click Import
3. Upload your file and start using it right away

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed an issue where Lorebook entries attached to private bots were not functioning correctly
• Fixed an error that could appear when starting a Group Chat without selecting who sends the first message
• Added clearer limits and error messaging for Custom Voices, so it's easier to understand when a limit has been reached

One More Thing

Something significant also shipped today. We'll be sharing the full details tomorrow — see if you can spot it in the meantime.

Thank you, as always, for the feedback that continues to shape Pixelchat. We're excited to keep building alongside you.
