Just a reminder that LibreChat exists. It's FOSS, and lets you bring your own APIs key for all the LLM providers. The UI is excellent.

You can run it locally, or as I do on a $5/month Linode server. I don't want to pay ~20/month for each LLM provider, so I put $5 to $10 on my Anthropic and OpenAI API accounts every couple months, and that lasts me plenty long.

You get to save all your chats, change models mid-chat, view code artifacts, create presets, and much more.

If you don't know how to set up something like this, ask ChatGPT or Claude. They will walk you through it, and you will learn a useful skill. It's shockingly easy.
