✨ Features

1 Multi-Model Service Provider Support

In the continuous development of LobeChat, we deeply understand the importance of diversity in model service providers for meeting the needs of the community when providing AI conversation services. Therefore, we have expanded our support to multiple model service providers, rather than being limited to a single one, in order to offer users a more diverse and rich selection of conversations.

In this way, LobeChat can more flexibly adapt to the needs of different users, while also providing developers with a wider range of choices.

Supported Model Service Providers

We have implemented support for the following model service providers:

• AWS Bedrock: Integrated with AWS Bedrock service, supporting models such as Claude / LLama2, providing powerful natural language processing capabilities. Learn more
• Anthropic (Claude): Accessed Anthropic's Claude series models, including Claude 3 and Claude 2, with breakthroughs in multi-modal capabilities and extended context, setting a new industry benchmark. Learn more
• Google AI (Gemini Pro, Gemini Vision): Access to Google's Gemini series models, including Gemini and Gemini Pro, to support advanced language understanding and generation. Learn more
• Groq: Accessed Groq's AI models, efficiently processing message sequences and generating responses, capable of multi-turn dialogues and single-interaction tasks. Learn more
• OpenRouter: Supports routing of models including Claude 3, Gemma, Mistral, Llama2 and Cohere, with intelligent routing optimization to improve usage efficiency, open and flexible. Learn more
• 01.AI (Yi Model): Integrated the 01.AI models, with series of APIs featuring fast inference speed, which not only shortened the processing time, but also maintained excellent model performance. Learn more
• Together.ai: Over 100 leading open-source Chat, Language, Image, Code, and Embedding models are available through the Together Inference API. For these models you pay just for what you use. Learn more
• ChatGLM: Added the ChatGLM series models from Zhipuai (GLM-4/GLM-4-vision/GLM-3-turbo), providing users with another efficient conversation model choice. Learn more
• Moonshot AI (Dark Side of the Moon): Integrated with the Moonshot series models, an innovative AI startup from China, aiming to provide deeper conversation understanding. Learn more
• Minimax: Integrated the Minimax models, including the MoE model abab6, offers a broader range of choices. Learn more

At the same time, we are also planning to support more model service providers, such as Replicate and Perplexity, to further enrich our service provider library. If you would like LobeChat to support your favorite service provider, feel free to join our community discussion.

2 Local Large Language Model (LLM) Support

To meet the specific needs of users, LobeChat also supports the use of local models based on Ollama, allowing users to flexibly use their own or third-party models.

[!TIP]

Learn more about 📘 Using Ollama in LobeChat by checking it out.

3 Model Visual Recognition

LobeChat now supports OpenAI's latest gpt-4-vision model with visual recognition capabilities,
a multimodal intelligence that can perceive visuals. Users can easily upload or drag and drop images into the dialogue box,
and the agent will be able to recognize the content of the images and engage in intelligent conversation based on this,
creating smarter and more diversified chat scenarios.

This feature opens up new interactive methods, allowing communication to transcend text and include a wealth of visual elements.
Whether it's sharing images in daily use or interpreting images within specific industries, the agent provides an outstanding conversational experience.

4 TTS & STT Voice Conversation

LobeChat supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) technologies, enabling our application to convert text messages into clear voice outputs,
allowing users to interact with our conversational agent as if they were talking to a real person. Users can choose from a variety of voices to pair with the agent.

Moreover, TTS offers an excellent solution for those who prefer auditory learning or desire to receive information while busy.
In LobeChat, we have meticulously selected a range of high-quality voice options (OpenAI Audio, Microsoft Edge Speech) to meet the needs of users from different regions and cultural backgrounds.
Users can choose the voice that suits their personal preferences or specific scenarios, resulting in a personalized communication experience.

5 Text to Image Generation

With support for the latest text-to-image generation technology, LobeChat now allows users to invoke image creation tools directly within conversations with the agent. By leveraging the capabilities of AI tools such as DALL-E 3, MidJourney, and Pollinations, the agents are now equipped to transform your ideas into images.

This enables a more private and immersive creative process, allowing for the seamless integration of visual storytelling into your personal dialogue with the agent.

6 Plugin System (Function Calling)

The plugin ecosystem of LobeChat is an important extension of its core functionality, greatly enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the LobeChat assistant.

By utilizing plugins, LobeChat assistants can obtain and process real-time information, such as searching for web information and providing users with instant and relevant news.

In addition, these plugins are not limited to news aggregation, but can also extend to other practical functions, such as quickly searching documents, generating images, obtaining data from various platforms like Bilibili, Steam, and interacting with various third-party services.

8 Progressive Web App (PWA)

We deeply understand the importance of providing a seamless experience for users in today's multi-device environment.
Therefore, we have adopted Progressive Web Application (PWA) technology,
a modern web technology that elevates web applications to an experience close to that of native apps.

Through PWA, LobeChat can offer a highly optimized user experience on both desktop and mobile devices while maintaining its lightweight and high-performance characteristics.
Visually and in terms of feel, we have also meticulously designed the interface to ensure it is indistinguishable from native apps,
providing smooth animations, responsive layouts, and adapting to different device screen resolutions.

[!NOTE]

If you are unfamiliar with the installation process of PWA, you can add LobeChat as your desktop application (also applicable to mobile devices) by following these steps:

• Launch the Chrome or Edge browser on your computer.
• Visit the LobeChat webpage.
• In the upper right corner of the address bar, click on the Install icon.
• Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the PWA Installation.

9 Mobile Device Adaptation

We have carried out a series of optimization designs for mobile devices to enhance the user's mobile experience. Currently, we are iterating on the mobile user experience to achieve smoother and more intuitive interactions. If you have any suggestions or ideas, we welcome you to provide feedback through GitHub Issues or Pull Requests.

10 Custom Themes

As a design-engineering-oriented application, LobeChat places great emphasis on users' personalized experiences,
hence introducing flexible and diverse theme modes, including a light mode for daytime and a dark mode for nighttime.
Beyond switching theme modes, a range of color customization options allow users to adjust the application's theme colors according to their preferences.
Whether it's a desire for a sober dark blue, a lively peach pink, or a professional gray-white, users can find their style of color choices in LobeChat.

[!TIP]

The default configuration can intelligently recognize the user's system color mode and automatically switch themes to ensure a consistent visual experience with the operating system.
For users who like to manually control details, LobeChat also offers intuitive setting options and a choice between chat bubble mode and document mode for conversation scenarios.

* What's more

Beside these features, LobeChat also have much better basic technique underground:

• 💨 Quick Deployment: Using the Vercel platform or docker image, you can deploy with just one click and complete the process within 1 minute without any complex configuration.
• 🌐 Custom Domain: If users have their own domain, they can bind it to the platform for quick access to the dialogue agent from anywhere.
• 🔒 Privacy Protection: All data is stored locally in the user's browser, ensuring user privacy.
• 💎 Exquisite UI Design: With a carefully designed interface, it offers an elegant appearance and smooth interaction. It supports light and dark themes and is mobile-friendly. PWA support provides a more native-like experience.
• 🗣️ Smooth Conversation Experience: Fluid responses ensure a smooth conversation experience. It fully supports Markdown rendering, including code highlighting, LaTex formulas, Mermaid flowcharts, and more.

After Fork

After fork, only retain the upstream sync action and disable other actions in your repository on GitHub.

Keep Updated

If you have deployed your own project following the one-click deployment steps in the README, you might encounter constant prompts indicating "updates available." This is because Vercel defaults to creating a new project instead of forking this one, resulting in an inability to detect updates accurately.

[!TIP]

We suggest you redeploy using the following steps, 📘 Auto Sync With Latest

B Deploying with Docker

We provide a Docker image for deploying the LobeChat service on your own private device. Use the following command to start the LobeChat service:
