Valley 3 has been introduced as the new free model on Verba, replacing Verba Free. It is an in-house model designed for stronger roleplay, better character consistency, and more natural conversations.

According to current benchmarks, Valley 3 is approximately 5% less capable than Verba Free. However, it offers faster and more consistent responses, uses more recent training data, and is significantly more lightweight.

Due to its in-house development, Valley 3 has stricter safeguards in place. Sensitive topics, NSFW content, and violent roleplay are currently restricted on this model.

These restrictions are temporary and expected to be eased over time. Verba Premium subscribers, starting at $5.99/month, have access to paid models without these limitations.

With Valley 3 now serving as the free model, Verba Free is officially deprecated. It will remain available temporarily while the team confirms Valley 3's stability.

The team is actively collecting community feedback on Valley 3's performance and plans to make improvements based on user reports. Image recognition for Valley 3 is still being fine-tuned and may produce occasional errors.
