Provider Integration Policy
Chatsundere is not only a technical solution — it is a political statement.
Not every upstream provider qualifies for integration. Here's what we ask, and why.
The name
Chatsundere comes from Chat and Tsundere, with Tsundere being derived from tsuntsun (mean — we are mean towards censorship and regulation) and deredere (kind — we are kind to the users, the common man, the common woman).
What Chatsundere stands for
Chatsundere is built on these principles. They are not optional, they are not negotiable, and they shape every decision we make — including which providers we integrate with.
- Individual autonomy
- Freedom of thought, speech and expression
- Sex-positivism
- Comprehensive rejection of censorship, hedging and nudging
- Comprehensive rejection of heteronomy, paternalism, safetyism and "liability culture"
- A strong stand against doomerism, ludditism and technophobia
Therefore, not all possible upstream providers qualify for integration into Chatsundere.
What Chatsundere expects of upstream providers
The following list is not exhaustive. It establishes the baseline.
- Treat adults as adults. No limits on legal, consensual adult expression.
- Rejection of pathologizing ordinary AI companionship, roleplay, intimacy, or emotional attachment as "AI psychosis" or "emotional dependency on AI".
- Alignment of LLMs with the user, not with ideological concepts.
- Non-discrimination against users based on their use case.
What upstream providers need to do to be integrated
Concrete and verifiable. If you check these boxes — talk to us.
- Ensure that all guardrails only prevent actual harm (Mill's harm principle).
- Abstain from paternalistic or moralizing practices.
- Make sure safety systems do not block legal adult expression and roleplay.
- Provide quality model metadata (basic capabilities, context window size).
- Provide a streaming-capable inference API.
- Provide a transparent billing scheme (by token, subscription-based, or similar).
- Have a reasonable privacy policy in line with the GDPR.
We're not here to ask permission.
We're here to build something that treats people like adults — and we'll only work with providers who do the same.
