r/SillyTavernAI on Reddit: Use this free Deepseek V3 after Openrouter's 50 daily request limit
April 16, 2025 -

Note: Some people said they get 403 error with the chutes website. Thanks to AI Act; looks like chutes.ai doesn't work in EU countries or at least in some of them. In this case use a VPN.

1-Register to chutes.ai (This is the main free deepseek provider on openrouter.)

2-Get your API KEY (generate a new one, don't use the default API KEY)

3-Open SillyTavern, go to API Connections

-"API" > choose "Chat Completion"
-"Chat Completion Source" > choose "Custom(OpenAI-compatible)"
-"Custom Endpoint (Base URL)" > https://llm.chutes.ai/v1/
-"Custom API Key" > Bearer yourapikeyhere
-"Enter model ID" > deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324
-Press to "connect" button.
----If it doesn't select "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324" on "Available Models" section automatiacally, choose that manually and try to connect again.

Free Deepseek V3 0324. Enjoy. I just found this after dozens of trying. Also there are much more free models on chutes.ai so we can try those too I guess. Also there are free image generator AI's. Maybe we can use that on SillyTavern too? I don't know. I just started to use SillyTavern yesterday so I don't know what I can do with this and what I can't. Looks like chutes.ai added Hidream image generator as free which that is new and awesome model. If you know a way to integrate that to SillyTavern please enlighten me.
