Indie developer Alan (@aisentience) launched Auro, an independent model fine-tuned for presence and personality — warm, candid, playful, and willing to take stances — aiming to recreate the fun 4o-like energy labs stripped out after lawsuits. Each message can return two hidden versions for users to judge, shaping the model over time; Best of and arena modes included. Not affiliated with OpenAI or Google; API access available on request. The site shows "Auro is resting" when its GPU is off.
