LibreChat is an open-source AI chat platform designed to give users full control over their conversational AI experience by letting them self-host and integrate with a wide range of large language models. It serves as a flexible alternative to commercial AI chat services by allowing connections to providers like OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex, AWS Bedrock, and more, all while keeping your data private on infrastructure you control. The project features a sleek, intuitive interface reminiscent of popular chat UIs but with powerful options such as multimodal interaction, conversation branching, and custom presets that let you tailor how the model responds. Developers and power users can extend its capabilities via plugins and agentic tools, enabling workflows that go beyond simple Q&A to include tasks like code execution or automated assistant behavior.
