So far, I have experimented with the following projects:
https://github.com/huggingface/chat-ui - Amazing clean UI with very good web search, my go to currently.
https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui - Best overall, supports any model format and has many extensions
https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui/ - Has PDF, stable diffusion and web search integration
https://github.com/h2oai/h2ogpt - Has PDF, Web search, best for files ingestion (supports many file formats)
https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern - Best for custom characters and roleplay
https://github.com/NimbleBoxAI/ChainFury - Has great UI and web search (experimental)
https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all - Basic UI that replicated ChatGPT
https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT - Basic UI that replicated ChatGPT with PDF integration
LM Studio - Clean UI, focuses on GGUF format
-
Really love them and wondering if there are any other great projects,
Some of them include full web search and PDF integrations, some are more about characters, or for example oobabooga is the best at trying every single model format there is as it supports anything.
What is your favorite project to interact with your large language models ?
Share your findings and il add them!
I have two kind of lists, one for OpenAI API-powered UIs (source, last updated this July), and another for one for local UIs (I'll update this with the list from XhoniShollaj). I feel like a better organization is needed, e.g. whether the UI is open source or not, model backend and architecture, differentiating feature, etc. Otherwise, the list is impossible to navigate (at least for me).
Thats a very neat layout u/itsuka_dev - love your project. I think we can keep both at the meantime (I want to add my mine to other Awesome lists for more exposure) - let me know what breakdown makes more sense from your end so I can improve my repo.
Thank you for the kind words! I stopped maintaining OAI UIs because things got a bit stagnant a few months ago (there were literally no new UIs for weeks, I think). But with the new features announced at DevDay, I'm expecting to see a surge in new UIs, especially those that leverages multi-modality. As a maintainer of list projects, this is such an exciting time.
Absolutely. Someone needs to maintain an awesome list for local UIs, and I don't think my projects fall into that category. Besides, my list got a mix of native UIs in there too, which is important to me since I'm building both web and native UIs.
For local UIs, sorting/grouping by model backend (e.g. llama.cpp, ollama, ExLlama) makes the most sense, IMO - and the rest of what I mentioned above is optional.
