1.15.0

SillyTavern 1.15.0

Highlights

Introducing the first preview of Macros 2.0, a comprehensive overhaul of the macro system that enables nesting, stable evaluation order, and more. You are encouraged to try it out by enabling "Experimental Macro Engine" in User Settings -> Chat/Message Handling. Legacy macro substitution will not receive further updates and will eventually be removed.

Breaking Changes

1. {{pick}} macros are not compatible between the legacy and new macro engines. Switching between them will change the existing pick macro results.
2. Due to the change of group chat metadata files handling, existing group chat files will be migrated automatically. Upgraded group chats will not be compatible with previous versions.

Backends

• Chutes: Added as a Chat Completion source.
• NanoGPT: Exposed additional samplers to UI.
• llama.cpp: Supports model selection and multi-swipe generation.
• Synchronized model lists for OpenAI, Google, Claude, Z.AI.
• Electron Hub: Supports caching for Claude models.
• OpenRouter: Supports system prompt caching for Gemini and Claude models.
• Gemini: Supports thought signatures for applicable models.
• Ollama: Supports extracting reasoning content from replies.
