Overview
text-generation-webui is a local-first web interface for running text generation models. It provides model management, inference settings, and an extensible plugin system that makes it easy to experiment without relying on cloud services. The project focuses on privacy and control, supporting various backends and quantization methods.
Key features
- Multi-model compatibility for local backends.
- Plugin ecosystem for chat UI, sampling strategies, and tool integrations.
- Configurable UI and inference parameters for integration into custom workflows.
Use cases
- Local experimentation and prototyping in privacy-sensitive environments.
- Teaching and demonstrations for LLM inference flows.
- Offline inference where cloud usage is restricted.
