Switching Presets and Models Made Easy
I find that I really like Deepseek 4 for more crunchy scenes. Action, background, details. But I also find it to be really bad at conversations with multiple people. But switching models is annoying, what if there was a quick button to do so? Well there can be. It takes a small amount of work but when set up it is entirely painless. With thanks to u/afinalsin for telling me about it.
First, you will be doing this by switching between presets. So whatever preset you're using, hit the "Save Preset As" button and take a copy of that preset. Then make sure the "Bind Preset to API connections" toggle is on. That's the green button in the top left of the screenshot.
Lets say you want the first preset to use Deepseek 4. You could name it "My DS4 Preset". Then you go over to the API connection and select DS4 as the model for that preset. Change over to your second preset, for this we want GLM. You could name it "My GLM Preset". Then go to the API connection and select GLM as the model for this preset. Now you have two identical presets that are set up to use different AI models.
The second step is to go over to the extensions tab. This is all done through the Quick Reply extension. So the first thing to to is to enable quick replies. Then you either add a new quick reply set and put your new buttons in there, or just modify the existing ones. You want to add two quick replies, one for each preset. It is important that you enter your preset names exactly like they are in the preset list, so simple preset names make this a little easier.
The first quick reply entry would look like this.
/preset My DS4 Preset |
The second one would look like this
/preset My GLM Preset |
Now you'll have two buttons that will quickly and easily switch between DS4 and GLM.
My use case is that I have one preset that I want to use, but want different models at different points in the story, but this obviously works if you want to change between different presets as well. Just be careful with presets that have different formatting rules, that can lead to wonky outputs.
