The best uncensored roleplay models you can call by API (November 2026)
Hermes 4 405B, Magnum v4, Euryale, Cydonia, Skyfall, UnslopNemo, MythoMax and Lunaris: what each is built on, context, price per million tokens and which to pick for which kind of story.
Roleplay is where refusals bite hardest: a menacing villain, a battle scene or an adult storyline is exactly what an aligned assistant breaks off. The community settled on a handful of fine tunes for this, and they are now available by API, so you can use them in SillyTavern or your own app without a GPU.
Short answerHermes 4 405B, the biggest model here, for complex stories; Magnum v4 72B for literary prose, Lunaris 8B when cost matters, and UnslopNemo 12B for the longest context (1M tokens).

Which one for which story
- Hermes 4 405B (Nous Research). The biggest model in the group, with an optional reasoning mode. Best when the story needs planning and long-range consistency.
- Magnum v4 72B (Anthracite). Trained toward the prose style of Claude 3 Sonnet and Opus. The pick for literary output.
- Euryale 70B v2.2 (Sao10K). A long-standing community favourite for character play, with room for long campaigns.
- Cydonia 24B v4.1 (TheDrummer). Good recall and instruction following for its size, at a low price.
- Skyfall 36B v2 (TheDrummer). Aimed at nuanced, coherent long-form stories.
- UnslopNemo 12B (TheDrummer). Trained to avoid stock phrasing in adventure writing. Small, fast and very long context.
- MythoMax 13B (Gryphe). The classic roleplay merge. Very cheap, but only an 8K context.
- Lunaris 8B (Sao10K). A small generalist merge that keeps some logic alongside the creativity.
