I got AI to write actually good novels. Here’s the exact system I use

For over a year, I've been working on improving how AI can collaborate with authors to write novels. I've shared a bit about my systems, and people seemed to really like them. So I'm writing this longer post explaining the prompts I use. O…

GPT OSS not as good as o4-mini, however, the intelligence to price ratio is insane

Screenshot is from Artificial Analysis. For reference, GPT OSS 120B is $0.10 input and $0.50 output (openrouter). o4-mini is $1.10 input, and $4.40 output. Also, interesting to note that 120B cost less to run than 20B. I assume this is due to 20B…

DeepSeek R1 0528 Qwen3 8b is incredible for the price

On OpenRouter, it's $0.05 input and $0.10 output. Incredible for the intelligence. submitted by /u/levihanlenart1 [link] [comments]

What’s the best AI writing tool?

I'm very curious. Wondering what you all use and why. Which tools are you currently using or have you tried? Are there any features that make a particular tool indispensable for you? What are the biggest limitations you've encountered with cur…

Experiment: My book took me a year to write. I had AI recreate it in an hour.

TL;DR: Compared my year-long novel draft to an AI-generated version (~1hr guided work using a custom plot system). AI showed surprising strengths in plot points/twists but slightly failed on consistency, depth, worldbuilding, and structure vs. human ef…

Experiment: This book took me a year to write. I had AI recreate it in an hour.

TL;DR: Compared my year-long novel draft to an AI-generated version (~1hr guided work using Varu AI). AI showed surprising strengths in plot points/twists but failed on consistency, depth, worldbuilding, and structure vs. human effort. Powerful t…

How I got AI to write actually good novels (hint: it’s not outlines)

Hey Reddit, I recently posted about a new system I made for AI book algorithms. People seemed to think it was really cool, so I wrote up this longer explanation on this new system. I'm Levi. Like some of you, I'm a writer with way more story id…

Experiment: What does a 60K-word AI novel generated in half an hour actually look like?

Hey Reddit, I'm Levi. Like many writers, I have far more story ideas than time to write them all. As a programmer (and someone who's written a few unpublished books myself!), my main drive for building Varu AI actually came from wanting to read…
