Wild West API or Mancer?
Mancer is an unfiltered inference service built around creative and roleplay models like MythoMax, with a free model and a credit system that suits SillyTavern users. Wild West API is aimed more at agent and coding work, with tool-calling uncensored models, an Anthropic-compatible endpoint and hard per-key spend caps.
Facts checked October 2026 against Mancer’s own site, docs and policies.
| Wild West API | Mancer | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Hosted gateway for one uncensored, tool capable model line (Xploded), at twice the upstream price. | An LLM inference service selling unconstrained text generation from its own catalogue of creative, roleplay and assistant models. |
| Pricing | Pay as you go, 2x upstream price, $5 minimum top-up, no subscription required. | Prepaid credit packs, spent per prompt and completion token at rates that vary by model. One model (MythoLite) is free, and failed or zero-token requests are refunded automatically. Credit pack prices are shown only after logging in. |
| OpenAI-compatible | Yes | Yes, OpenAI-style /oai/v1/completions, /oai/v1/chat/completions and /oai/v1/models on https://neuro.mancer.tech, with tool calls in the chat schema. |
| Anthropic-compatible | Yes, /v1/messages (verified with Claude Code) | Not documented. The API spec lists only OpenAI-style endpoints. |
| Uncensored / abliterated | Four uncensored models, the Xploded line: GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, MiMo V2.6 Flash and Qwen3.8 27B. Every one calls tools. | The home page promises no filters, no guidelines, no constraints. It hosts roleplay finetunes such as MythoMax 13B, ReMM-SLerp 13B and Magnum 72B v4. Its terms still prohibit some content, for example obscene, lewd, harassing or illegal content. |
| Per-key spend caps | Lifetime and monthly per-key caps, enforced by reserving the worst case and clamping max_tokens | Spending is bounded by your prepaid credit balance, and there is a per-account concurrent connection limit. Per-key spend limits are not documented. |
Where Mancer is the better choice
- Better for classic roleplay: purpose-built creative finetunes like MythoMax, ReMM-SLerp and Magnum 72B v4 that SillyTavern users already know, plus fine sampler controls such as min_tokens, logit bias and logprobs.
- Lower barrier to try: MythoLite is free, and failed or zero-token requests are refunded automatically.
Where Wild West API is different
- Wild West API's Xploded line (GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded) is all tool-calling capable, and it adds an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint, so it can drive Claude Code, Cline and OpenCode directly.
- Wild West API puts hard lifetime and monthly spend caps on each key, enforced by reserving worst-case cost and clamping max_tokens, billed at 2x upstream, pay as you go from a $5 top-up with no subscription.
The uncensored models Wild West API sells
If you are comparing Mancer because you want an uncensored or abliterated model API, these are the models on Wild West API: Outlaw 1 abliterated, GLM 5.3 uncensored, GLM 5.3 Flash uncensored, MiMo V2.6 Flash abliterated and Qwen3.8 27B uncensored. Every one calls tools, works in Claude Code through the Anthropic endpoint, and is priced at twice what we pay upstream, per million tokens.
| Model | What it is | Context | Price in / out | Supports |

| GLM 5.3 Xploded glm-5.3-xploded | GLM 5.3 uncensored API | 1M | $2.50 / $4.50 | tools, reasoning |
| GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded glm-5.3-flash-xploded | GLM 5.3 Flash uncensored API | 1M | $0.40 / $1.60 | tools, vision, reasoning |
| MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded mimo-v2.6-flash-xploded | MiMo V2.6 Flash abliterated API | 1M | $1.00 / $3.00 | tools, vision, reasoning |
| Qwen3.8 27B Xploded qwen3.8-27b-xploded | Qwen3.8 27B uncensored API | 524K | $0.30 / $2.40 | tools, vision, reasoning |
FAQ
Is Mancer or Wild West API better for SillyTavern roleplay?
Mancer is the more natural fit: it hosts long-standing roleplay finetunes like MythoMax and ReMM-SLerp and has a free model to start with. Wild West API's models are built more for general and agentic use with tool calling.
Can I use Mancer with Claude Code?
Mancer documents only OpenAI-style endpoints, with no Anthropic /v1/messages endpoint, so Claude Code would need a translation proxy. Wild West API exposes /v1/messages natively.
Which uncensored models does Wild West API sell?
Wild West API sells Outlaw 1 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded. The table above has the price and context for each.
Are these models abliterated or uncensored?
Outlaw 1 Xploded and MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded are abliterated: the refusal direction was removed from the weights. GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded are uncensored: the refusal was trained back out. The abliterated vs uncensored page explains the difference.
Which one answers fastest?
MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded usually starts answering in one to two seconds. The GLM 5.3 Flash model thinks before it answers, so its first word can take much longer.
