Patch Notes B0.027 - GPT Luna, Updated DeepSeek, And More!
Static Game Starts
We've made some updates to the way static game starts work. You can now add narration beats with expressions from the GM or specific characters. The quick add comes preloaded with any character in that location. You can also set different starting conversations depending on which character the player picks. You can also create and update static game starts through Orbit or the CLI.
With this update, static game starts are recommended over dynamic game starts. Static game starts have a couple key advantages over dynamic game starts: they're instant, and you also get full control over what happens.
GPT Luna
OpenAI recently lowered the price of Luna by 80% (permanently), and we're giving you another 50% off on top of the 80% reduction for a limited time (TBD). Luna is now the best value model in the lineup, only slightly more expensive than Hy-3, but much better. We have made it the new default model.
With Luna, we estimate that the base $20 subscription can get you 3-6 hours of play time per day.
DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
DeepSeek has also released a new model version for DeepSeek V4 Flash, at the same price point but now much more intelligent than the previous version. It's intelligence is better than the current DeepSeek v4 Pro, and nearly on par with Opus 4.8 and the new GPT Luna model. It has replaced the previous DeepSeek v4 Flash Discounted endpoint, and we've removed the non discounted DeepSeek options as they're no longer competitive at their price point with some of the latest releases.
With the new GPT Luna and DeepSeek v4 Flash, we now have near frontier intelligence at a much more affordable price. Hope you enjoy!
Improved AI Efficiency
We've made some changes in the AI harness that improve token efficiency when using the assistant by 20%+ and the GM by ~5% since last week. Your energy should now go a bit farther than before!

Polished the workspace and game product tours with clearer guidance for version history, sharing, Orbit, handbooks, and core play controls.
