Quick Start

Faraday.dev is a chat application for engaging in rich, immersive conversations with AI-powered characters. You can build your own bespoke character, or select one from our community-driven character marketplace (opens in a new tab) for a diverse range of role-playing experiences.

Faraday’s chat engine is powered by large language models (LLMs) that run directly on your personal device's hardware. This local processing ensures complete privacy and prevents any form of 3rd party interference. No one can revoke access to your data, filter your conversations, or change the behavior of your characters.

Select a model

Faraday recommends the following models to start:

• Nous Capybara 7B: Good for lower-end devices, and excels at a wide range of tasks. This model is a great starting point for most users.
• Mythomax-Kimiko 13B: A larger model that is great for more complex role-play conversations. This model is recommended for users with more powerful devices.
