Inferio vs SillyTavern: same depth, hosted, on one key

SillyTavern is the deepest character chat front-end there is, and we love it, we import its cards and drop into it. But it is BYOK and you run it yourself. Inferio brings the same lorebook, preset, and card depth to a hosted product where one key also runs your coding agents. Same power, none of the setup, and a real 2-in-1.

Hosted vs self-run

SillyTavern you install and keep running, then paste each provider's key. Inferio is hosted: nothing to install, no keys to gather, because the key is the account. You sign up and chat. For the SillyTavern experience without standing up the app, that removes the whole setup step.

The same character depth

Inferio's chat is not a lite version. Its World Info style lorebook carries primary and secondary keys, selective AND/NOT logic, scan depth, recursion, at-depth injection, and sticky, cooldown, and delay timers, the same mechanics SillyTavern pioneered. On top sit presets, personas, group chats, regex scripts, triggers, and the SillyTavern card v2 and v3 format it originated, which Inferio imports directly. If you know how ST lorebooks and presets behave, they behave that way here.

One key for chat and code

Here is the 2-in-1. The same key that runs the character chat points Claude Code, Cline, or Codex at 200+ models via https://api.inferio.net/v1. SillyTavern ships no model of its own; it is a frontend over roughly two dozen BYOK backends you wire and a Node server you keep running. Inferio is chat, backend, and code on one account.

And it still drops into SillyTavern

You are not choosing one or the other. Paste your Inferio key into SillyTavern and use it as your backend, or use Inferio's own hosted chat. Same key, same 200+ models, same credits, wherever you prefer to sit.

How to pick

Want maximum local control and love running SillyTavern? Keep it, and use Inferio as the backend. Want the same depth hosted, on a key that also runs your coding agents? That is Inferio.

How we verified: the SillyTavern claims here were read from its open source (its World Info, prompt, and character-card code), not paraphrased from docs. If a detail is wrong, it is a bug in our reading, so tell us.
