About This Content

An optional local AI model for Asiden

The Enhanced Model Pack adds Gemma 4 E4B to Asiden as a free, optional download. Choose it when your PC has room for a larger local model for conversation and optional screen understanding.

Your companion stays yours: changing the AI model keeps your chosen appearance, personality and memories. The Low Resource E2B model remains included with the base app.

What is included

  • The Gemma 4 E4B instruction-tuned QAT model, used for both local conversation and optional screen understanding.
  • Approximately 6.1 GB of additional model files, downloaded and updated through Steam.
  • An Enhanced option in Asiden, alongside the included Low Resource model.
This is an AI model pack. The companions, customisation, memory controls and games shown in the screenshots belong to the base app; this pack does not add separate characters or features.

Local use, on your terms

Once Asiden and this pack are installed and set up, local AI replies do not require a cloud subscription, Sparks or per-message payments. Optional cloud services are separate. Screen awareness stays optional and follows your settings.

Choose the model that fits your PC

E4B uses more memory than the included E2B model. We recommend 16 GB of system RAM and a compatible NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB or more VRAM for the Enhanced profile. Available memory matters: longer conversation context, local GPU voice and other games or apps can increase demand. Response speed depends on your hardware and settings.

If resources are limited, you can continue using the included Low Resource model. Internet access is required to download this pack. Requires Desktop Companion - Asiden.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This optional DLC provides Google Gemma 4 E4B for local AI conversation and optional screen understanding in Asiden. The model generates conversational text on your computer; Asiden can turn replies into spoken responses. AI responses may be inaccurate and can include mature language, humour and non-explicit flirtation. Some promotional artwork was created with generative AI. Optional cloud features belong to the base app and are separate from this local model pack.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Asiden features AI-generated text and spoken conversations that may include strong language, crude or dark humour, non-explicit flirtation, sexual innuendo and adult relationship themes. Depending on the conversation, sensitive subjects may be discussed, including violence, substance use, grief, mental-health difficulties, abuse, suicide and self-harm. These themes arise in dialogue rather than a fixed story. Asiden is not designed to generate explicit sexual content. Safeguards aim to restrict prohibited sexual content and harmful responses, but AI-generated conversations can be unpredictable.
