I don’t know how tech savvy you are, but I’m assuming since your on lemmy it’s pretty good :)

The way we’ve solved this sort of problem in the office is by using the LLM’s JSON response, and a prompt that essentially keeps a set of JSON objects alongside the actual chat response.

In the DND example, this would be a set character sheets that get returned every response but only changed when the narrative changes them. More expensive, and needing a larger context window, but reasonably effective.

I can’t decide if I want this to have been written by an AI or not.

Without going to whole hog and hosting my own infrastructure, what are some good alternatives?
