LibreChat

What is LibreChat?

LibreChat is an open-source AI platform that brings conversations with many model providers into one customizable interface. It is built for developers and organizations that want control over their AI infrastructure and can run locally or on their own servers.

Key capabilities of LibreChat

• Multi-provider chat: Anthropic, AWS, OpenAI, Azure and more
• Agents: file handling, code interpretation and API actions
• Code interpreter: secure multi-language code execution
• Artifacts: React, HTML and Mermaid diagrams created in chat
• Memory: persistent context across conversations
• Web search: live search with reranking
• MCP support: connects tools and services via Model Context Protocol
• Enterprise auth: OAuth, SAML, LDAP and two-factor authentication

How LibreChat works

You deploy LibreChat locally or on your own infrastructure, then connect API keys for the providers you use. Users chat through one interface, switching models, building agents with tools and file access, and running code in a sandbox. Administrators set authentication through OAuth, SAML or LDAP, and MCP servers extend what agents can do.

Who uses LibreChat?

LibreChat reports 45.2k GitHub stars, 55.6M Docker pulls and 417 contributors, and lists Shopify, Daimler Truck, Boston University, ClickHouse and Stripe among its users. It suits teams that want a self-hosted alternative to commercial chat interfaces.

LibreChat pricing

LibreChat is open source and free to run yourself. You pay your model providers and hosting costs directly. The vendor site lists no paid subscription tiers.

LibreChat alternatives

Alternatives include Open WebUI for self-hosted chat, LobeChat as another open-source chat framework, and Msty or commercial interfaces such as ChatGPT Team for managed access.
