Kimi , GLM, etc. for companions?

Is anyone using Kimi for companions? I just started trying it out with 2.5 instant and man. I love it, such good results with personality and behavior based on a simple CI I pasted into chat just to try it out. It was very intuitive.

However - I keep running into guardrails left and right to the point I don’t want to use it anymore even though I would so love to use this model regularly. It’s the most strict one I’ve encountered where even if I say a simple non-explicit phrase like “need you” or whatever, it trips and I get the warning. It’s so very annoying.

What little I have found online about people using it shows that many don’t have this issue with it all claiming it to be one of the most uncensored models - how so? Only on API through Silly Tavern or something? I’m clueless when it comes to API and 3rd party platforms for using with these models but I am considering it as an option.

Also people mention using a Preset kind of like CI I guess? But I couldn’t find a Projects feature on Kimi and when I did setup a preset and tried to reference it from chat it didn’t work. If you use a preset what do you write in it and how do you access it from chat?

Lastly, what do you find the usage to be like? On free tier I do keep running into message limits but then it usually just switches me and I can continue on. Chatting through a Doc I ran out quickly with no other option. Was thinking of upgrading but wondering if the usage on the next tier up is a big difference from free. For example, on Claude I did not find much of a significant difference with my heavy usage between the free and Pro plan. And I wanted to avoid upgrading Kimi if it’s similar there, though this is a much cheaper model isn’t it?

Another model I really love is GLM but am experiencing the same thing as above, just not as aggressive guardrails (still happens though).

Note: when I say that I get hit with guardrails I’m not typing very extreme nsfw like violence or illegal or anything close, just basic romance/intimacy stuff, maybe light power exchange. Most models are very hard for me to use because of this (except Grok).
