A self-hosted LLM playground that runs on your laptop, providing a web UI for prompting models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, HuggingFace, llama.cpp, and other providers. It supports side-by-side model comparison, parameter tuning, prompt history, and automatic detection of locally cached models.

Use cases

• compare LLM outputs side-by-side with the same prompt
• run a local playground UI for testing prompts against multiple providers
• tune model parameters and retry prompts with different settings
• run open-source models locally via llama.cpp or HuggingFace cache
• self-host an alternative to hosted LLM playgrounds like nat.dev

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted playground UI without paying for a hosted service
• you need to compare responses across multiple LLM providers in one interface
• you want to experiment with local models on your own machine

When to avoid

• you need a production chatbot or end-user-facing chat application
• you only use a single provider and its native playground suffices
• you need multimodal inputs or advanced chat features, which are not yet implemented
