Earlier today, between approximately 1:45 PM and 2:25 PM ET, we experienced an issue that prevented users from signing in to Pixelchat.
The issue has now been fully resolved, and sign-in is working normally again.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience while we worked to restore access. 💜
Qwen Plus Character is now available again for I’m All In users.
We temporarily removed the model after identifying issues that were preventing it from running as efficiently and reliably as expected. We’ve now completed the necessary optimizations and brought it back online.
Qwen Plus Character was built for extended roleplays, with a strong focus on character consistency, long-form continuity, and staying true to the tone and personality of your character. It’s especially good at following the direction of a story over longer conversations, handling deep or brave themes, and keeping dialogue natural and in-character.
We know many of you fell in love with the model and made it your daily driver, so if you’ve been waiting to get back to it, it’s ready to use again.
Thanks for your patience while we worked on it. 💜
A lighter update this week, with a handful of fixes across web and mobile.
We fixed an issue where the Recommendations page on Android was showing the same chatbots as the homepage instead of your personalized For You recommendations.
Free and Get a Taste users can once again use the Generate option for Persona avatars on Desktop and Mobile Web. Previously, only the Upload option was appearing.
That’s it for this week. Thanks as always for the reports and feedback. 💜
About a week ago, we released our new roleplay model, Qwen Plus Character, for I’m All In users.
After launch, we identified a few issues that were preventing the model from running as efficiently and reliably as expected, so we temporarily removed it while we investigated.
We’ve now identified what needs to be fixed, but unfortunately, the work may take a few weeks to complete.
Because of this, Qwen Plus Character will remain unavailable for the next few weeks while we make the necessary improvements.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We’ll let you know as soon as the model is ready to return.
Say hello to Qwen Plus Character, the newest model joining Pixelchat — available now for I’m All In members.Â
This is a new roleplay focused model from the Qwen Family, the model is built specifically for extended roleplays. It pays close attention to the character’s persona, holds onto it across longer scenes, and follows the tone your story calls for. If you’ve ever had a model slowly drift away from who your character is supposed to be, Qwen Character Plus is designed to handle that better.Â
What it does wellÂ
  Pro tip: Qwen Plus Character performs best with a detailed and well written characters. The more personality, background, and context you give it, the more it has to work with.Â
Qwen Plus Character is now available exclusively for I’m All In users.Â
Give it a try and let us know how it feels in longer roleplays.Â
A few useful updates went live this week, including model changes, quality-of-life improvements, and fixes across the platform.
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.Â
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/featuresÂ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
Making Pixelchat better for everyone is something we work on every day — and that includes our free users.
Today, we're rolling out Zeta-G4-26B, our new free model.
This is a big step up from our previous free models. Beta testing feedback was overwhelmingly positive — some testers even called it "too good to be free." That's exactly the kind of first impression we want new users to have when they start roleplaying on Pixelchat.
Zeta-G4-26B is a lite model that punches well above its weight. It delivers natural dialogue, clean formatting ,and coherent story progression. It follows your lead, keeps the moment moving, and never rushes a scene.
It really shines with:
Beta testers also loved how well it handles all kinds of characters — even ones that aren't perfectly written. It has a real knack for turning a rough character into something fun, usable, and immersive.
That said, Zeta-G4 is still a lite model. It can struggle with complex multi-character scenes, very deep lore, long-term memory, and multilingual chats. For those, our higher-end models still deliver the stronger consistency and depth they're built for.
But for free users, this is a major upgrade — and we're genuinely excited to put it in your hands.
As always, keep the feedback coming. Your testing and comments directly shape what we improve, what we release, and what we build next. 💛
Hey everyone 👋
Nothing too major this week, but we do have one requested improvement for creators.
Some creator edits will now apply immediately instead of going through review.
This includes edits limited to:
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 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.
That’s it for this week.
As always, thank you for the reports and feedback. 💜
