LLM X

Chrome Extension | Web/Mobile app

Privacy statement:

LLM X does not make any external api calls. (go ahead, check your network tab and see the Fetch section). Your chats and image generations are 100% private. This site / app works completely offline.

Issues:

LLM X (web app) will not connect to a server that is not secure. This means that you can use LLM X on localhost (considered a secure context) but if you're trying to use llm-x over a network the server needs to be from https or else it will not work.

Recent additions:

• Multi-model support! Chats now support multiple models, from any connected server, and can respond with each them at the same time
• Quick Delete! using the quick search/ kbar panel, it is super easy to delete all app related data
• Chrome extension support! All the features of the web app, built into the browser
• Gemini Nano support!
• IndexedDB support! All text is now saved in IndexedDB instead of local storage
• Auto-connect on load. If there is a server thats visible and ready to connect, we connect to it for you

What is this? ChatGPT style UI for the niche group of folks who run Ollama (think of this like an offline chat gpt server) locally. Supports sending and receiving images and text! WORKS OFFLINE through PWA (Progressive Web App) standards (its not dead!)

Why do this? I have been interested in LLM UI for a while now and this seemed like a good intro application. I've been introduced to a lot of modern technologies thanks to this project as well, its been fun!

Why so many buzz words? I couldn't help but bee cool 😎

Inspiration: ollama-ui's project. Which allows users to connect to ollama via a web app

Perplexity.ai Perplexity has some amazing UI advancements in the LLM UI space and I have been very interested in getting to that point. Hopefully this starter project lets me get closer to doing something similar!

Getting started with local development

(please note the minimum engine requirements in the package json)

Clone the project, and run yarn in the root directory

yarn dev starts a local instance and opens up a browser tab under https:// (for PWA reasons)

MISC

• LangChain.js was attempted while spiking on this app but unfortunately it was not set up correctly for stopping incoming streams, I hope this gets fixed later in the future OR if possible a custom LLM Agent can be utilized in order to use LangChain

  • edit: Langchain is working and added to the app now!

• Originally I used create-react-app 👴 while making this project without knowing it is no longer maintained, I am now using Vite. 🤞 This already allows me to use libs like ollama-js that I could not use before. Will be testing more with langchain very soon

• This readme was written with https://stackedit.io/app

• Changes to the main branch trigger an immediate deploy to https://mrdjohnson.github.io/llm-x/
