Tavern is a user interface you can install on your computer (and Android phones) that allows you to interact with text generation AIs and chat/roleplay with characters you or the community create.
SillyTavern is a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8 which is under more active development and has added many major features. At this point, they can be thought of as completely independent programs.
On its own Tavern is useless, as it's just a user interface. You have to have access to an AI system backend that can act as the roleplay character. There are various supported backends: OpenAPI API (GPT), KoboldAI (either running locally or on Google Colab), and more. You can read more about this in the FAQ.
Since Tavern is only a user interface, it has tiny hardware requirements, it will run on anything. It's the AI system backend that needs to be powerful.
Try on Colab (runs KoboldAI backend and TavernAI Extras server alongside):

If that didn't work, try the legacy link:

This fork can be run natively on Android phones using Termux. Please refer to this guide by ArroganceComplex#2659:
.webp character cards import/export is not supported in Termux. Use either JSON or PNG formats instead.

| Author's Note | Built-in extension that allows you to append notes that will be added to the context and steer the story and character in a specific direction. Because it's sent after the character description, it has a lot of weight. Thanks Ali឵#2222 for pitching the idea! | None |  |
| Character Backgrounds | Built-in extension to assign unique backgrounds to specific chats or groups. | None |  |

start.sh script.Most often this is for people who want to use SillyTavern on their mobile phones while at home. If you want to enable other devices to connect to your TAI server, open 'config.conf' in a text editor, and change:
const whitelistMode = true;
to
const whitelistMode = false;
Save the file. Restart your TAI server.
You will now be able to connect from other devices.
You can add or remove whitelisted IPs by editing the whitelist array in config.conf. You can also provide a whitelist.txt file in the same directory as config.conf with one IP address per line like:
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
The whitelist array in config.conf will be ignored if whitelist.txt exists.
Disclaimer: Anyone else who knows your IP address and TAI port number will be able to connect as well
To connect over wifi you'll need your PC's local wifi IP address
Try enabling the No Blur Effect (Fast UI) mode on the User settings panel.
