@DarkestKale Ah, this is all super helpful, because I frequently write my own (shitty-but-functional) applications for interacting with local models, so I am absolutely not in the habit of using standard terminology as I'm mostly wrapped up in my home-grown nonsense.
So yeah, what I mostly do is feed back the previous entries on both sides of the conversation back to the chatbot (ohai token limit), and while I've seen a few approaches to using databases to manage long- or short-term memory, they're all most labour intensive than what I'm looking for for my fuckery.
Definitely going to see if I can get SillyTavern talking to Oobabooga based on what you've said.
