## Sessions & Commandline Parameters
Details of session handling & commandline arguments are in flux.
By default, a new session is created. It is saved to the user’s state directory (e.g., ~/.local/state/chap on linux/unix systems).
You can specify the session filename for a new session with -n or to re-open an existing session with -s. Or, you can continue the last session with –last.
You can set the “system message” with the -S flag.
- You can select the text generating backend with the -b flag:
openai_chatgpt: the default, paid API, best quality results
textgen: Works with https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui and can run locally with various models, basic and low quality. Needs the server URL in $configuration_directory/textgen_url.
lorem: local non-AI lorem generator for testing
