This OpenSource project allows you to use various models, including those from OpenAI itself and some free ones like Google Gemini, Cohere, SambaNova, Groq, and Cerebras.

It's worth noting that Google Gemini is among the best in the LLM Arena.

Why is it free? Google provides a free API with up to 1500 requests per day if it's a Flash model, and 50 requests for the Pro model.

Google isn't the only one; there are several other free options.

Before others ask you why they should use your project and not X or Y, I wanted to say that it looks pretty good!

One potentially useful feature would be to allow users to add their own system prompts via the UI (and not prompts.js).

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. You can add custom prompts directly in the interface without editing prompts.js.

FYI Gemini 2.0 is always free, this client doesn't do anything special

Having it in the same browser window as other models and being able to go back and forth depending on your use case is a big help though.

You can use several other models, including local models using models available in Ollama.

Sorry, meant "special for using Gemini"
