LibreChat
Chat with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other models in one self-hosted interface, switching providers mid-conversation without losing context. Free forever once you host it yourself.
Overview
LibreChat unifies OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock, and Azure models behind one self-hosted interface, letting you switch providers mid-conversation instead of juggling separate apps and API keys. It ships with AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, a sandboxed code interpreter for running generated code safely, and code artifacts that render UI components directly in the chat window. Full-text search across every past conversation makes it easy to find a prompt or answer from weeks ago. Enterprise-grade authentication, OAuth2, SAML, and LDAP, supports team deployments where IT needs centralized login control. Because it is MIT licensed and free to run, the only ongoing cost is your own server plus whatever the model providers charge for usage. Docker deployment gets a working instance running in under fifteen minutes on modest hardware. LibreChat suits teams and individuals who want a private, provider-agnostic alternative to ChatGPT without paying per seat for a hosted product.
