LibreChat – Enhanced ChatGPT Clone • Hacker News Board

I have been wondering why I haven't really found good self-hosted UIs that could also use plugins / functions. Just installed this (which was quite easy) and it seems to work very well! Definitely gonna replace the one I was using before.

It's an open source client for ChatGPT.

(From the naming, I was expecting some "strongly free software", like LibreJS, Libreboot, linux-libre, which would not rely on something closed like ChatGPT - I guess if someone made a free LLM-based chat, they could call it ChatGPL (though they should probably not, too close to ChatGPT))

If I'm ever stuck in a situation where I need to use ChatGPT, I'll consider using LibreChat :-)

The primary use case here seems to be that it might be possible to use this tool to spend If you're interested in a fully Libre LLM stack, I've had fun lately with ollama [0] and ollama-webui [1]. It was pretty trivial to take ollama-webui's docker-compose file and set up a locally-running chat server with Mistral 7B. Trying out different models and prompts was likewise very easy to get started with.

Mistral isn't anything like as good as GPT-4, but it's Apache licensed and fully local, which meets my definition of Libre. I'll continue to use both while the FOSS stacks catch up, but it's fun to keep up with the progress on the open source stuff as tooling develops.

It looks like it can connect to local models via LiteLLM proxy.
