Are you looking for a user-friendly, self-hosted AI interface designed to operate entirely offline? Look no further; Open WebUI might be what you are looking for. In this blog, you will dive into some nice features of Open WebUI. Enjoy!
Introduction
Quite some inference engines exist which can run locally, for example, Ollama, LMStudio, LocalAI, Jan, and many others. Some of them also come with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). However, these run locally on the same machine as the inference engine. What if you would like to offer a ChatGPT-like user interface within your company that runs entirely offline? The inference engine runs on dedicated machines with GPUs (on-premise or in a private cloud), and the GUI is a web application available to your users. The advantage of this setup is that all your data does not leave your company and is not shared with any cloud vendor. The privacy of your data is secured with this setup.
