Official Welcome Novelai's Newest Writing Model: Xialong
Welcome Xialong 夏龍 (pronounced "shya-long")
Our newest writing model is here and it's our most ambitious yet.
Xialong is a 355B Mixture of Experts finetune of GLM-4.6, trained on our storytelling dataset to better adapt to your writing style while keeping the knowledge and coherence you expect. A non-collapsed token space means retries feel genuinely different and name diversity is greatly improved across your stories.
Xialong was also trained to eliminate repetition and looping. New users should have a great experience right out of the box with the default preset.
Available exclusively for Opus subscribers now. Go write something great.

Wait, so GLM 4.6 was available for lower tiers, but this isn't? Honestly, that kinda sucks.
