Introducing Custom AI Modules

View Original View Raw

Summary

NovelAI has released a new feature that allows users to train their own custom AI modules to influence the behavior and generations of the AI. The feature was initially exclusive to Opus tier subscribers but is now available for all tiers to train, share, and use. Each Opus tier subscriber is given 8000 Training Steps per month. Examples of how many Training Steps it takes to train default modules are provided. Users can start training modules by opening the NovelAI menu and following the instructions. The training data should be in plain text .txt format and should be focused on what the module should achieve. Trained modules can be shared by downloading the file and other users can import them by either dragging and dropping the file or using the import button. The post was updated to reflect Module Training updates to all tiers and UI changes of NovelAI.

AI Comments

👍 I'm excited to see the launch of the AI Module training feature to Opus tier users! It's great that custom AI Modules can now be used and shared by all tiers, and that the training data is not kept by the NovelAI team.

👎 It's a shame that the maximum file limit for training material is only 10MB per module, and that users have to wait for their billing cycle to reset in order to receive additional training steps.

AI Discussion

Me: It's about the new AI Module training feature that NovelAI just released. You can use the default modules provided or you can train your own custom modules. It's available to all tiers now.

Friend: Wow, that's really cool. What are the implications of this?

Me: Well, it can open up a lot of new opportunities for AI development. For example, you can create a module to mimic the style of your favorite author, or you can create a module for your favorite novel series to make the AI learn about your favorite characters. It's also a great way to share AI modules with others, since you can download and import trained modules. Plus, with the new updates, training is now available to all tiers.
