We are currently working on some big changes for AI Dungeon that we’re calling Heroes. We’ve anticipated that the naming of Heroes would be confusing with our mid-level ($15/month) subscription tier, Hero.

Because of this, we have renamed the Hero tier to Champion.

If you are subscribed to the Hero plan, there is no action necessary for you to transition to the Champion plan.

For those of you who have wanted to play with the newest, most powerful models at the largest context sizes available, we introduced a new subscription tier, Mythic. This new tier gives players access to Ultra AI models (GPT-4 Turbo, DALLE·3, DALL·E 3 HD) and context lengths up to 32k (for models like Mixtral) or up to 128k (using Credits) for GPT-4 Turbo.

In the past, we’ve shied away from offering more powerful models and extreme context lengths because there wasn’t a way to offer them to you without putting ourselves out of business. Powerful models like GPT-4 (even with only 1k context length) are up to 120x more expensive than models we offer on our Free tier. Offering models with larger context lengths dramatically increases AI costs, as well.

We’ve explained this limitation to players over the last year or so, suggesting it could cost as much as $100/mo for a tier with GPT-4 support and 32k context for Premium models. Surprisingly, many of you have told us, “So what? I’d pay more if we could get access!”

Mythic is NOT the right tier for most players. 32k context is absolutely absurd—that’s about 40 pages of text, and only our most dedicated players have adventures of that length. 128k context is even crazier at 160-200 pages of text.

Ultra models are phenomenal. While they are unquestionably better and more powerful than Premium models, that performance level is only suited for more discerning players who value quality above all else and are willing to pay for the ability to use them.
