Offline-first by design.
Your local model runs on your own computer through Cute LM at 127.0.0.1:1234. Your Shards, memory, and setup data stay with you.
WordBlock Labs · Solo dev text software
Private solo roleplay with a local brain that stays in character.
SoloRoleplayer// is built by WordBlock Labs, a solo dev tinkerer project. You write your side. The companion writes its side. Cute LM runs the model on your own machine. No cloud account is required for the local lane.
Tested local stack
SoloRoleplayer// Free + Cute LM + Qwen3.5-9B-MLX-4bit
One companion. One lane.
We built and trained this lane to stop head-hopping, stop writing for the player, and hold onto persona much better than a stock chat model.
Built for one tested model lane.
The Free version is intentionally narrow. It is built around one local model family so setup is easier and support is less confusing.
Why this exists
Most local roleplay users know the same two pain points.
Head-hoppingThe AI starts writing both sides, steals your reactions, and turns into a floating narrator.
Persona lossThe AI forgets who it is, how it talks, or what role it is supposed to hold.
Our fixWe trained a dedicated LoRA for SoloRoleplayer// that almost completely stops those problems in the tested Qwen 9B lane.
SoloRoleplayer// Free
The local game shell. This is the privacy-first lane built to talk to Cute LM on your machine.

Our free local runtime. It is set up to run one tested model lane for SoloRoleplayer// with a much simpler local setup path.
Open Cute LMThe tested model
Use the right Qwen model.
The tested model for the current Free lane is mlx-community/Qwen3.5-9B-MLX-4bit. Cute LM is already shaped around that lane, so we recommend not wandering off into random model experiments if you want the easy setup path.

Want the anti-head-hop version?
We also offer a SoloRoleplayer// LoRA trained specifically to reduce head-hopping and persona loss. It is designed to sit on top of the tested Qwen 9B lane inside Cute LM.
