What is it?

LoLLMs WebUI is a single-user web interface for working with large language models and other generative AI models. It connects to a range of backends, including local Hugging Face models, GGUF/GGML models, EXLlama v2 models, and services such as Ollama, vLLM, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter and Novita AI, so you can switch between them from one place.

Beyond text chat, the interface includes personalities with predefined welcome messages, discussion storage in a local database, and tools to search, export and delete conversations. It also adds image generation through Stable Diffusion, Flux, ComfyUI and DALL-E, video generation through several providers, and music generation with MusicGen.

The project provides installer scripts for Windows, Linux and macOS, along with Docker and manual Python 3.11 setup paths. The maintainers note that the project is being superseded by the newer lollms project, which adds multi-user support and MCP compatibility.

Key features

  • 01Connects to local models (Hugging Face, GGUF/GGML, EXLlama v2) and remote services such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Ollama
  • 02Lets you choose a model and personality for each task
  • 03Stores discussions locally, with search, export and bulk delete
  • 04Generates images, video and music through several providers
  • 05Supports prompt routing to different models based on task complexity
  • 06Runs via installer scripts, Docker or a manual Python setup

Use cases

  • Chatting with a local model without sending data to a cloud provider
  • Comparing responses from several LLM backends in one interface
  • Using one front end for text, image and music generation experiments
  • Running a personal AI workspace for writing, coding help and data organization
