I’m surprised to see no mention of AnythingLLM (https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm). I use it with an Anthropic API key, but am giving thought to extending it with local LLM. It’s a great app: good file management for RAG, agents with web search, cross platform desktop client, but can also easily be run as a server using docker compose.

Nb: if you’re still paying $20/mo for a feature-poor chat experience that’s locked to a single provider, you should consider using any of the many wonderful chat clients that take a variety of API keys instead. You might find that your LLM utilization doesn’t quite fit a flat rate model, and that the feature set of the third-party client is comparable (or surpasses) that of the LLM provider’s.

edit: included repo link; note on API keys as alternative to subscription



How does it compare to OpenWebUI? It seems pretty solid, no ideia how I never heard of it before!


Totally agree! Other useful alternative: Lobe Chat (https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat)


Haven’t heard of this. What does it provide that the anthropoic UI does not?
