After having used the new model for over a month, mostly on AI Story Generator, and investigating on the old and new AI models used, I've reached to a conclussion that, in m opinion, makes sense.
The old model was Llama 2. Llama 2 (and Llama 3) are models feed on books, as in lots of literature. Meta licensed a LOT of them to train the models.
The new model is Deep Seek, or at least it seems to be so. We'll assume it is, but to be fair, it doesn't changes the argument a lot. DS has an issue, it is trained on normal content, say: internet, some books obviously, interations, etc.
Now, what's the issue with this?
Llama is a model that knows WAY better how a story works, having hundreds of them on its dataset and having processed them during its training. DS doesn't, DS is a more generalist model, thought more as an assistant than a story creator.
For the kind of usage done here, essentially either chatting with characters with AI-Character-Chat or writing a story with AI-Story Generator, the improvement in context and general knowledge DS gives is not worth the decrease in narrative quality, and understanding of story writing. That's not mentioning all the hallucinations, total ignoration of context and prompting, and similar the new model has.
Llama 2 is a way better option for the kind of usage we have. Yes, we would be lossing some general knowledge. Yes, it may not be the best AI model out there. But it's all things considered, it's a matter of chosing the best option for our use case.
I understand the dev does all this work alone, and appretiate his effort for it. That's why, as a really active user of this platform and service, I consider the best choice here is to return to the old model.
If you have some argument more for it, please add it in the comments. Thanks everyone for your time.

Being brutally honest, no. The AI just does whatever it wants. How long are your stories? cos the old model used to handle my 300k word long ones with ease (around 2.1MB size as the downloaded JSON), and the new model can't even understand what point of the story it is on. Like it's consistensy ir horibid, it just becomes idiotic after the 50 paragraphs, sometimes even less.
The whole point of AI-Story-Generator is to be a model capable of creating a long story, and the situation now is: it can't.
Really, REALLY doubt it. I'm struggling right now to get it to write about alternate history, but not the entire AH, fucking singular dialogs. It hallucinates that the character is drunk and tired when nothing similar was even mentioned, it ignores already written paragraphs and does whatever it wants. It is not getting better, unless you consider stupidization better.
