Hello! This is the first time I've done an announcement through a bot, but nonetheless, using my profile wasn't going to last forever. I had to do this at one point since JAI doesn't have the function of posts. Which makes sense, this isn't a social media website.

I'm just showing this to say that I'm still alive. I've been low on the activity lately due to the loss of free V3, V3.1, and R1-0324 offshoots of DeepSeek on OpenRouter, so I didn't really bother chatting. I'm also, maybe to your shock, a Persona-leaning guy, and I prefer to write 'sonas more than actual characters. Less effort, and I get to see some stuff about what I created.

But now I'm at a break. Two weeks off. And with the advent of DeepSeek NEX, I'm thinking I'm getting back in. I want to publish a WIP I've had since mid-August but never had the drive to do for some reason to get that bot out in August, until now. If what I can make can generate peak, then that motivates me enough.

I want to leave the Winter 2025 choice to you guys (If you are reading this), and since I've already past 100 followers, what's better than for you guys to vote? Whichever thing you want the most is something you all really request from me (and I don't want to just have MY idea for Winter 2025).
