We’ve updated our documentation to better explain something many of you ask about:

What are tokens? What is context memory? And why don’t characters always remember everything in very long chats?

If you’ve ever noticed:

• Details being forgotten in long conversations
• Older messages no longer influencing replies
• Repetition starting after hundreds (or thousands) of messages

This is directly related to how tokens and context windows work in AI models.

All models operate within a limited context window. That means they can only “see” a certain amount of recent conversation at a time. Once that limit is reached, older messages gradually fall out of context. This isn’t a bug — it’s how large language models function.

We’ve now published a clearer breakdown covering:

• What tokens actually are (in simple terms)
• How context memory works
• Why memory limitations exist
• Why repetition can happen in very long chats
• Practical tips to improve long-form roleplay quality

If you want to better understand how to get the most out of your chats — especially long roleplays — we highly recommend reading it:

The more you understand how the system works, the better your results will be.

As always, if you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Hey everyone,

If there’s one thing that truly defines SpicyChat, it’s our creators.

Every conversation, every universe, every unforgettable character you’ve connected with this year exists because someone took the time to imagine it, shape it, and share it. Creators aren’t just part of SpicyChat — they are SpicyChat.

Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate that.

As we close out 2025, we wanted to take a moment to highlight 10 creators whose characters truly stood out this year — characters that were widely loved, deeply engaged with, and kept conversations going day after day.

🏆 Our Top 10 Creators of 2025

1. @lowpoly
2. @scarlett_bloodfallen
3. @linmcl
4. @Stromxxx
5. @yukischi
6. @ixalon
7. @hakujivn
8. @poottl
9. @anayaleonard
10. @uland

Each of these creators will receive one full year of “I’m All In” — on us — as a small thank-you for the worlds they’ve built and the impact they’ve had.

You can check out the monthly top creators here:

December Leaderboard

But this isn’t just about a few names.

This is about recognizing every creator who has ever shared a bot, refined a character, helped another creator, or pushed SpicyChat forward through their creativity. Whether you’re a veteran creator or someone who just published their first character — you matter here.

Looking ahead, 2026 is going to be a creator-first year.

We’re actively planning and working on features and tools designed to support and spotlight creators even more — things like enhanced creator profiles, better visibility, creator metrics, and new ways for users to discover and follow the creators they love. On top of that, we’re planning more creator-focused events and contests, giving you more opportunities to shine, experiment, and be rewarded for your work.

SpicyChat wouldn’t exist without you — and everything we’re building next is with you in mind.

Thank you for all the wonderful stories you've shared. We can’t wait to see what you create next. 

Here’s to our creators — and to an even bigger 2026. 💜

We're excited to share that Conversation Images V3 is now live for all I’m All In users! (Web only)

This new conversation image workflow is powered by Qwen Image and brings:

• Much stronger alignment with your chatbot’s reference image
• Better handling of detailed prompts with intricate visual elements
• More advanced prompt generation from your story
• Improved consistency with your reference image’s style
• Better handling of diverse skin tones
• Support for generating text inside images (e.g. signs, notes, UI elements)

You’ll find two new models in the Image Settings modal. Selecting one of the Qwen Image models will automatically use the new workflow.

The workflow named Qwen Image Male is tuned to generate more masculine characters. It may still struggle with fully accurate male anatomy, but we’re actively improving this over the next few weeks.

If you like customizing your image prompts, note that these new models use natural-language prompting instead of the keyword-style prompts used in V1 and V2.

If you end up loving the results, drop your favorites in our Discord Community for everyone to enjoy. 💫
We truly feel this is a huge upgrade to Conversation Images — can’t wait for you all to play with it. 🔥

👤 New & Improved User Profile

We’ve refreshed the User Profile page with a cleaner, sleeker look — and added a new option to set your default chat model, so new chats always start with your preferred model.

We also moved the Remove Account option under Advanced to prevent accidental clicks.

🧹 Model Cleanup (Sunsetting Notice)

To keep our model list clean and focused on the best-performing options, we’ll be sunsetting a few older or low-usage models on December 15, 2025:

Being sunset:

• thespice-8b
• euryale-70b

Previously considered for removal but staying (thanks to your feedback!):

• magnum-12b
• lyra-12b
• magnum-72b

We were considering to remove these as well due to low usage but some of you reached out saying they are your best so we're keeping them for you, after all Spicy is all about You! 💙

💬 Group Chat is Now in Closed Beta!

One more bit of good news: Group Chat has officially been released to our Closed Beta Group for early testing!

Hope you enjoy these updates!

Starting today, we’re rolling out age assurance in regions where it’s required by law. We know this is a significant change, and we want to make sure everyone feels fully informed, safe, and confident as we introduce it.

This system is specifically designed to keep the platform compliant, responsible, and safe for adult users — without compromising your privacy.

🌍 Regions Requiring Verification

🇫🇷 France
 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
 🇮🇹 Italy — launching mid-January
 🇺🇸 U.S. states: AL, AR, AZ, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WY

⏳ Grace Period

If you’re in one of these regions, you’ll still be able to use the platform normally for now. You’ll have time to complete verification when it’s convenient for you.

🔐 Your Privacy Comes First

We know age checks can feel sensitive, so here’s exactly how it works:

• We never see or store your photos, videos, or ID.
  
  
• Verification is done by trusted third-party partners who specialize in secure, privacy-focused checks.
  
  
• We only receive a simple yes/no confirmation — nothing more.
  
  
• Your data stays with the verification provider and is deleted according to their privacy rules.
  
  
• Verification methods depend on your region (Video Selfie in most places; ID check where legally required).
  
  
• Once you’re verified, you’re verified — it’s tied to your account, not your device.
  
  

❗ What Happens If You Don’t Verify?

You can continue using the platform, but NSFW content will be restricted in regions where verification is mandatory until the process is completed.

If you have questions or concerns, our updated FAQ covers everything. We’re committed to keeping this rollout transparent, safe, and respectful of your privacy 💛

A few important updates and improvements to share this week — let’s jump right in:

📱 iOS App Update
Unfortunately, our appeal to restore the iOS app was rejected. We’ve submitted one final appeal and are doing our best to bring it back.
If you already have the app installed, you can continue using it for now. However, for the best and most updated experience, we highly recommend switching to the web version at spicychat.ai.

⚙️ New Model Selection Experience
We’ve completely refreshed how you select and manage your AI models — making it faster, simpler, and easier to use!

✨ Here’s what’s new:

• A dedicated Model icon is now visible at the top of every chat.
• You can instantly see which model is active and switch with just one click.
  
  

• The menu now neatly separates:

  • Available Models (based on your tier)
  • Explore All Models (to see everything SpicyChat offers)
  • Generation Settings (for tuning response style and length)
    
    
    
• When changing models, you’ll now need to confirm your choice with a “Set Model” button — helping prevent accidental changes.
  
  
  

This update is now live on both Web and Android.

🧩 Farewell to OpenAI API Keys
We’ve made the decision to discontinue OpenAI API key support due to low usage.
Starting November 17, you’ll no longer be able to add new API keys, and all existing ones will stop working.

As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback — these changes were shaped by your input, and we can’t wait for you to try them out. 💜

Stay spicy, and keep chatting!

We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new feature that takes your chats to the next level — Search Command in Chat! (Web only)

You can now use /search inside your conversations to pull in real-time information from the internet and give your characters richer, more accurate context.

How it works:

Just type /search followed by your query, and the system will look it up, summarize the results, and integrate them directly into the context to generate a new response.

✨ Example:

It’s perfect for finding real-world facts, cultural details, current events, or info about new games, anime, and stories — letting your roleplays feel more alive and up to date.

You can learn more about it here!

The feature is live on the website only, coming to the mobile apps in the following weeks. 

💬 Cleaner Command Display

We’ve also polished how commands appear in chat bubbles — they’re now cleaner and visually separated from your messages.

🎃 Halloween Is Already Heating Up!

Our special Halloween character is live — and already has over 1 million chats this week!

 Go give them a try and get spooky early 👻 

Chat Now 

We’re making a small but important update to our content policy to help keep SpicyChat a safe, creative, and respectful place for everyone.Our goal is to protect personal rights while encouraging originality and imagination within the community.

This update affects how real or realistic images are used on the platform — keeping creativity front and center while ensuring no real individuals are represented without consent.

🔒 What’s Changing

- Moving forward, real image uploads of actual individuals — whether public figures or private individuals — will no longer be allowed.

- For existing characters, creators will have two weeks to update their avatars. After that period, any remaining real images will be automatically replaced with an anime-style version of the original. You’ll still be able to update those images anytime with new artwork that follows our updated guidelines.

👉 You can read the updated Community Guidelines here 

We truly appreciate your understanding as we continue making SpicyChat a safer, more creative home for everyone. ❤️

Governments around the world are introducing new regulations that require all platforms offering NSFW content to verify users’ ages. These rules apply industry-wide — every major platform will need to comply, not just us.

Over the next few weeks, you may be asked to complete a quick verification process before accessing explicit content. This process will be handled securely by trusted third-party providers.

✅ Your Privacy Remains Protected

- We will never see or store your ID, biometric, or personal data.
- The verification is used only to confirm your age — nothing else.
- Our verification partners handle all sensitive information securely and in compliance with strict privacy standards.

📋 Implementation Details

• The main verification method in most jurisdictions will be selfie age estimation, with a fallback to ID check if needed.
• It will be rolled out with a one-week grace period to verify at your convenience.
• Verification will depend on your access location — it will be mandatory in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and the following U.S. states:
  AL, AR, AZ, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WY
• Users connecting from regions outside these areas will not be required to verify.

These requirements have already taken effect in several regions, and more are expected to follow as new regulations roll out. This is a big change, but one that’s necessary — otherwise, we would have to geo-block these regions!

We’ll share a simple step-by-step guide before the rollout begins.

Thank you for helping us stay compliant and for supporting a safer, more responsible online experience. 💜

Hi everyone,

Earlier today, the SpicyChat iOS app was removed from the App Store. Apple has determined our app currently doesn’t comply with their guidelines. While we’ve always worked hard to comply, it seems it wasn’t enough this time. While we’ve appealed, the chances of the app returning are slim. You can continue chatting without interruption on the web - and in many ways, it’s the best place to chat.

Here’s what this means for iOS users:

✅ If You Already Have the App

• You can continue using it as normal. If you uninstall it, you can re-install it via App Store → Profile → Apps.
• Existing subscriptions will stay active until they expire, but won’t auto-renew on iOS. 
• To avoid interruptions (and get the best, most up-to-date experience), move your subscription to the web.
  
  

🌐 Why Mobile Web Is Better

• 🚀 Faster Rollouts: Features and improvements are released on the web first — no App Store review delays.
• ⚡ Quick Fixes: Bugs and issues can be resolved faster as we can deploy fixes instantly.
• 🎁 Exclusive Ffeatures: Many updates, like advanced chat settings and experimental models, launch on the web first.
• 💻 Seamless Mobile Web Experience: The web version is optimized for mobile devices.
  
  

📲 Save SpicyChat to Your Home Screen

For the smoothest mobile experience, you can add SpicyChat to your home screen via Safari - it’ll feel just like an app!

1. Open Safari and go to spicychat.ai
2. Tap the Share icon
3. Choose Add to Home Screen
4. You’ll now have a SpicyChat icon on your phone, just like the app.
   
   
   

We know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear, but we want to be upfront with you and give you the best way forward. You can keep chatting, roleplaying, and exploring everything SpicyChat offers on the web app.

Thank you for sticking with us - your support means everything! 💜
