Problem Description

Currently, you can add two models to a chat. However, it's a comparison feature.

I'd love to see this turned into an actual group chat by stacking the two models/prompts on top of one another and/or combining them together. Image below.

Desired Solution you'd like

Instead of a chat comparison, make this a group chat by stacking (combining) the two system prompts / models on top of one another.

@frenzybiscuit commented on GitHub (Oct 5, 2025):

There are actually a ton of use cases for stacking the models outside of a group chat.

For example, I could break down world segments into models (to save on context) and allow the users to only load what segments they want activated.

I have 100+ characters for a single world, which I've been combining into a single card but I've had to make sacrifices as the total context exceeds 100k with the characters and world lore added.

So, if the user only wants a select amount of characters and world lore loaded, they could do that with this feature request.

Have you looked at the channels feature yet? It's exactly what you are describing.

I can't see how I can add models to the channels feature, can you tell me how?

I've looked through the documentation and still don't see how to combine models in the channels feature.

Alright, I looked into this. It's -kinda- what I need.

I was hoping more for a model merging method, so the user could just add characters to the story and remove them.

Instead, they have to reply manually, and only one character can reply to them at a time.
