| Architect |
The Creator model persona that helps design characters, scenarios, personas, and lorebooks. |
| BYOK |
Bring your own key/provider. Pyre is the client, not the model host. |
| Branch / variant |
Alternate message paths. Branching a user/OOC/scene message keeps its downstream timeline. |
| Character card |
A portable Tavern-style card, usually chara_card_v2. |
| Checkpoints |
Branch-aware, chapter-like summaries that keep long chats coherent. |
| Creator |
Pyre's conversational builder/editor. You discuss the asset, ask it to build, review the Sheet, then save. |
| Discover |
The trusted card-hub browser surface, including BotBooru where embedded support is available. |
| Hub |
A desktop or self-host server that can sync devices, serve the web app, and proxy chat for browsers. |
| Live Sheet |
Structured current-state tracking for a chat. |
| Lorebook / World Info |
Keyword-triggered facts injected when relevant. |
| Macro / token |
A placeholder such as {{char}}, {{user}}, or {{summary}}. |
| OOC |
Out-of-character note. |
| Party Mode |
Group-chat mode where the model writes one joint scene for the whole cast. |
| Persona |
Your side of the scene. A chat can use one persona, no persona, or a persona-party roster. |
| Preset |
Prompt structure and optional sampling controls. |
| Provider |
The model endpoint Pyre or your hub calls. |
| Reasoning model |
A model that emits thinking/reasoning text; Pyre can hide it by default. |
| Scenario / narrator card |
A card that plays a setting and NPC cast through a narrator/Gamemaster voice. |
| Script |
Future story beats or direction for a chat. |
| Smart fallback |
Prompted retry on another provider after failure/refusal. |
| Snapshot |
Frozen per-chat copy of character data used to keep history stable. |
