Version 1.10.16 - Status Update 📢

💎 Gemini Tokens Needed
We are currently facing a shortage of Google Gemini tokens. Our current capacity allows for ~50k translated chapters daily, but our average demand is over 100k daily. We need your help to bridge this gap!

🔄 AI Model Priority Changes
We have updated our fallback priority for when Gemini runs out. We swapped openai/gpt-oss-120b for moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905.

• Reason: The OpenAI model struggled with "medium thinking" settings (resulting in half-chapters or missing lines), and its "low thinking" quality was inferior to Kimi.
• New Priority: Gemini ➡️ Kimi ➡️ OpenAI

🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

• Crawling Speed: We are still optimizing the uuread source. It is much faster than last week, but we are working to improve it further.
• Bug Fixes: We unstuck many novels from the queue and restored missing images.
• Glossary Backup: Added Gemma-27b as an alternative for glossary generation if the gemini-2.5-flash-lite quota is depleted.

⏸️ Replace-Requests Paused
We have temporarily stopped approving replace-requests. Until our translation and glossary quotas stabilize, we are prioritizing new novels only.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and feedback!
