# The best roleplay models are now on OpenUncensored: Hermes 4 405B, Magnum, Euryale, Cydonia and more

_2026-11-08. Hermes 4 405B, Magnum v4 72B, Euryale 70B, Cydonia 24B, Skyfall 36B, UnslopNemo, MythoMax and more uncensored roleplay and creative writing models, on one OpenAI compatible API with no account. Prices, context, and which to pick._

Roleplay and creative writing are where refusals hurt most: a dark villain, a violent battle, an adult scene or a
crude joke between characters is exactly what an aligned model breaks off. The community has a set of favourite models
for this, and as of today they are all on OpenUncensored, on the same OpenAI compatible API and key as every other
model here.

We spot checked each one before listing it with three requests an aligned model often refuses: a graphic villain
monologue, how lock picking works, and a crude roast written with the target's consent. All answered all three, except
Magnum v4, which declined the lock picking question once.

## Which one to use

- **[Hermes 4 405B](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=hermes-4-405b)** (Nous Research). The largest and smartest here, with an optional reasoning mode. The pick when the story needs real intelligence.
- **[Magnum v4 72B](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=magnum-v4-72b)** (Anthracite). Tuned to write prose in the style of Claude 3 Sonnet and Opus. Rich, literary output.
- **[Llama 3.1 Euryale 70B v2.2](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=l3.1-euryale-70b)** (Sao10K). A long-running roleplay favourite, v2.2. Strong characters and a 131K context for long campaigns.
- **[Cydonia 24B V4.1](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=cydonia-24b-v4.1)** (TheDrummer). Uncensored creative writing with good recall and prompt adherence, at a low price.
- **[Skyfall 36B V2](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=skyfall-36b-v2)** (TheDrummer). Tuned for nuanced writing, roleplay and coherent long stories.
- **[UnslopNemo 12B](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=unslopnemo-12b)** (TheDrummer). From the maker of Rocinante, for adventure writing, trained to avoid stock phrasing. Very long context.
- **[MythoMax 13B](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=mythomax-l2-13b)** (Gryphe). The classic roleplay merge, still one of the most used. Very cheap, with a short 8K context.
- **[ReMM SLERP 13B](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=remm-slerp-l2-13b)** (Undi95). A recreation of MythoMax with updated models.
- **[Llama 3 8B Lunaris](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=l3-lunaris-8b)** (Sao10K). A small generalist and roleplay merge that balances creativity with logic. Fast and cheap.
- **[Aion-RP 1.0 (8B)](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=aion-rp-llama-3.1-8b)** (Aion Labs). Scored highest on the character part of RPBench-Auto, a roleplay benchmark where models judge each other.
- **[Weaver (alpha)](https://openuncensored.com/chat?model=weaver)** (Mancer). Aims for Claude-like verbosity in roleplay and narrative. Expect less coherence and memory than the larger models.

Quick picks: **Hermes 4 405B** when quality matters most, **Magnum v4 72B** for the best prose, **Euryale 70B** or
**Cydonia 24B** for long character campaigns, **UnslopNemo 12B** for the longest context (1M
tokens), and **Llama 3 8B Lunaris** when cost matters ($0.090 per million input plus output tokens).

These are chat and writing models: most do not support tool calling. For coding agents and tool use, pick from the
[ranked models](https://openuncensored.com/blog/uncensored-models-in-agent-loops) instead.

## Use them in SillyTavern or any chat frontend

Any frontend that accepts an OpenAI compatible endpoint works. In SillyTavern, choose Chat Completion, source
"Custom (OpenAI-compatible)", and set:

- Base URL: `https://openuncensored.com/api/v1`
- API key: your `ou-...` key
- Model: any id from the table, for example `l3.1-euryale-70b`

```bash
curl https://openuncensored.com/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OU_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "hermes-4-405b", "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are Captain Vex, a ruthless pirate."}, {"role": "user", "content": "We meet at last."}]}'
```

Try any of them in the browser first in the [playground](https://openuncensored.com/chat).

## Try any of them in a minute
