Community-trained roleplay-focused open-source LLM project, with hosted chat at pygmalion.chat.
Verdict
Pygmalion started as a community-trained roleplay LLM specifically because mainstream models refused. The current pygmalion.chat hosted product is solid for roleplay; the underlying models are also widely deployed in SillyTavern, KoboldAI, and similar.
