• What is JLLM? And what do all those pesky abbreviations mean?

  🆕 What is JLLM? And What Do All Those Pesky Abbreviations Mean? So you’ve just stumbled into the world of JLLM and everyone’s throwing around acronyms like LLM, API, and OOC like they’re Pokémon names. Don’t worry! You’re not alone. Here’s your decoder ring for the most commonly used terms, macros, and mysterious bits of techspeak. Let’s break it all down: 🧠 LLM — Large Language Model This is the “brain” behind the bot. It doesn’t think or feel, it just does a really good job at guessingFew readers

• Advanced Prompting 101

  🧠 Advanced Prompting 101 On Janitor, you might see the term “Advanced Prompts” pop up. Other places call them “System Prompts.” Either way, they’re the same thing, and they’re powerful. This is where you stop just chatting with the bot and start really directing it. With the right system prompt, you’re setting the stage, defining characters, deciding tone, even telling the LLM what rules it should follow for the rest of the session. If you’ve ever felt like your bot just wasn’t “gettingPopular

• Understanding Temperature

  🌡️Understanding Temperature in AI Imagine you're asking a friend to tell you a story. If they’re the careful, logical type, they’ll stick to the facts—predictable but maybe a little dry. If they’re the wild, imaginative type, they might take you on a crazy, unpredictable adventure—fun, but sometimes it goes off the rails. Temperature in AI works the same way. It controls how "safe" or "adventurous" your AI’s responses are. Think of your AI as a chef cooking up sentences. Every time it writesSome readers

• Tokens: Your AI's Memory Budget

  🎟️Tokens: Your AI's Memory Budget When you’re chatting with an AI in Janitor, every word you type, and every word the bot spits back, costs tokens. Think of tokens like little coins you drop into a vending machine: every message you send or receive spends some coins. And the machine? It only has so many coins it can hold before it starts running out of space. In JLLM, your AI’s token “wallet” often holds between 8,000 to 9,000 tokens (you can check the exact limits on the Janitor DiscPopular

• What Makes A Good Persona?

  🎭What Makes a Good Persona? Think of your persona like packing for a trip - you want to bring just enough to be prepared, but not so much that your suitcase bursts open. The sweet spot? Around 500 tokens or less. Any more than that and you're just weighing yourself down with unnecessary baggage that the AI will either ignore or misuse. A persona crammed with every possible detail doesn't make the AI understand you better - it just gives it more opportunities to make wrong assumptions. When yPopular

• Chat Memory & Context Management

  💬Context Limits: Why the Bot Starts Forgetting Stuff JLLM (like all LLMs) has a limited “context window.” That’s just a fancy way of saying: there’s a max amount of text it can read at once. Around 8k-9k tokens, give or take. If you overload it, stuff gets pushed out of memory or starts degrading. This is sometimes called “context rot,” and yeah, it’s as annoying as it sounds. So if you're wondering why the bot forgets what happened five replies ago, or randomly misremembers who’s who... itPopular

• Writing Style & Talking to the Bot

  🖋️ Writing Style & Talking to the Bot Writing with an AI like JLLM is a different kind of storytelling. You're not just chatting or giving commands—you’re co-creating a world with a partner that reacts to what you write. How you talk to the bot directly shapes how your story unfolds. This chapter is about helping you get better results, avoid confusion, and create smoother, richer roleplay experiences. When you write, the bot doesn't read between the lines the way a person might. It doesn’tPopular
