Practical overview
When it fits
Use it to explore or maintain the documented browser-chat workflow when working with its supported backends, while accounting for its deprecated status.
Who it is for
- People who need a browser interface for a supported local language-model backend.
- Developers or users assessing the project's documented conversation and personality-management features.
Documented uses
- Send messages to a supported chatbot and receive responses.
- Create, edit and share a chatbot personality.
- Resume, rename, add or remove conversations.
- Export conversation history as text or the database as JSON.
Requirements & limits
- The README marks the project deprecated and names Lord of Large Language Models as its replacement.
- Documented backends include llama.cpp and two GPT-J backend options; Hugging Face Transformers is described as under construction.
- The Windows automatic-install instructions require Python 3.10 and Git.
- The README specifies AVX2 for the pyllamacpp backend and gives an approximately 4 GB size for the default model.
- Audio input and output are listed, with Chrome specified for those features.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the web interface with the documented Windows script
Use the README's Windows automatic-install path to start the chat interface.
Before you start
- Windows 10 or 11
- Python 3.10 installed from the official Python distribution, not the Microsoft Store version
- Git
- An AVX2-capable CPU when using the pyllamacpp backend
Steps
Download the Windows webui.bat script from the release section and place it in a folder for the application.
Run the script and allow it to download the required files; accept a model download or provide a model appropriate for the backend.
Open http://localhost:9600 in a web browser.
Expected outcome
The README says the script should install the application and start the chatbot, available in a browser at localhost:9600.
Guide limitations
- The project is deprecated and identifies Lord of Large Language Models as its replacement.
- The README's default model is roughly 4 GB.
- AVX2 is specified for the pyllamacpp backend.
