Questions about Zouk 1.

What is Zouk 1?

Zouk 1 is the fast, light model from Bleepless AI. It runs the same 24-billion-parameter weights as Zouk 2 in a lighter setup, with replies up to ~600 words and a memory of the last 16 messages.

Is Zouk 1 uncensored?

Yes. Like Zouk 2, it's fine-tuned to answer rather than refuse, so you get a straight answer instead of a lecture. A few hard limits still apply, listed in our guidelines.

Which plans include Zouk 1?

Every plan, including the 7-day trial. If you need longer replies or more memory, Zouk 2 and Helios 1 are on the higher plans.
