How to connect SillyTavern to an unlimited, uncensored API
SillyTavern talks to Unquant through its standard OpenAI-compatible connection. No extension, no proxy, no plugin: a base URL, your key and a model ID.
Before you start
- An API keyfrom API keys in your Unquant workspace.
- A recent SillyTavernwith the Custom (OpenAI-compatible) chat completion source.
- Your model ID
glm-5.3-flashfor GLM-5.3-Flash orqwen-3.8-flash-nextfor Qwen 3.8 Flash Next.
1 Open API Connections
Click the plug icon at the top of SillyTavern to open API Connections.
2 Choose the connection type
3 Enter the endpoint, key and model
Press Connect. The status turns green when the key is accepted.
4 Match the context size to your plan
Open AI Response Configuration (the sliders icon). SillyTavern trims your history to the Context Size set there, so a small value throws away memory you are paying for.
5 Streaming and reasoning
- Streamingturn it on so replies appear as they are written.
- Reasoningboth models think before they answer and return that thinking separately. Enable Request model reasoning to see or hide it, and set the reasoning effort lower, or off, for snappier turns (reasoning controls).
Why long roleplay works better here
Three things break long campaigns: refusals mid-scene, a small window that forgets act one, and a bill that grows with every message because the whole history is re-sent each turn. Here the models are uncensored in the weights, the context goes up to 262K, and every plan is unlimited: re-sending a 200K-token history a thousand times costs the same flat monthly price as sending it once.
Troubleshooting
Paste the full key again; revoked or mistyped keys are rejected.
The model ID doesn't match your plan: GLM plans use glm-5.3-flash, Qwen plans qwen-3.8-flash-next.
Check the spelling of the model ID.
