LibreChat
Self-hosted ChatGPT alternative: every AI model in one polished UI.
About
LibreChat is the leading self-hosted AI chat interface: a polished ChatGPT-style UI that talks to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, Ollama, and dozens more providers — with conversation search, presets, agents, code artifacts, image generation, and multi-user support with auth. 45.6k stars, MIT, deployable via Docker or one-click templates (Railway, Zeabur, Sealos). Now under the LibreChat-AI org (moved from danny-avila; old URLs redirect). Self-hosting means your keys and chats stay on your infrastructure — but also that you're the ops team.
What it can do
- **Multi-provider**: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, Azure, and more in one UI
- **Agents & artifacts**: agentic workflows and code artifacts built in
- **Multi-user**: auth, roles, and per-user key management
- **Conversation tools**: search, presets, forks, shared chats
- **One-click deploys**: Railway, Zeabur, Sealos templates
- **Plugin system**: extend with custom tools
