1MContext

The best AI models for roleplay and character chat, ranked by intelligence among models that aren't provider-moderated and have the context (32K+) to stay in character over long sessions. There is no roleplay benchmark; this uses capability plus the two properties the roleplay community actually selects on — long context and unfiltered serving.
