# SillyTavern

SillyTavern is a popular roleplay chat application that supports many AI model backends. By configuring an OpenAI-compatible API, it can connect to this service.

## Open the API connection settings

1. Start SillyTavern
2. Click the API connection icon at the top
3. Select **Chat Completion (OpenAI Compatible)**

## Configure the connection details

In the API settings panel, fill in:

* **API Type**: select `OpenAI`
* **Chat Completion Source**: select `OpenAI` or `OpenAI Compatible`
* **API URL**: `https://aicentos.com/v1`
* **API Key**: your API Key (e.g. `codex_...` or `sk-...`)
* **Model**: select or enter a model ID (e.g. `gpt-6-astra`)

## Test the connection

1. Click the **Connect** button
2. If the connection succeeds, the status indicator turns green
3. You can start chatting with your characters

## Notes

* The API URL only needs to go up to `/v1`; the full `/v1/chat/completions` path is not required
* Streaming responses are supported; enabling them in the advanced settings is recommended
* You can type a model ID manually in the model dropdown
