Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a SvelteKit-based chat interface for interacting with OpenAI-compatible large language models.
- Enables seamless integration with multiple OpenAI-compatible APIs and flexible MongoDB-backed data storage for chat history and settings.
- Use for quickly deploying a customizable AI chat app powered by Hugging Face's inference router without managing backend infrastructure.
- Use for integrating client-side LLM routing to dynamically select the best model for each user message via configurable routing policies.
- Use for containerized deployment of a scalable chat UI with MongoDB support suitable for team collaboration or cloud hosting.

From the README
A chat interface for LLMs. It is a SvelteKit app and it powers the HuggingChat app on hf.co/chat.
Chat UI speaks to OpenAI-compatible APIs only. The fastest way to get running is with the Hugging Face Inference Providers router plus your personal Hugging Face access token.
OPENAI_API_KEYcan come from any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you plan to call. Pick the combo that matches your setup and drop the values into.env.local:Check the root
.envtemplate for the full list of optional variables you can override.Step 2 – Choose where MongoDB lives: Either provision a managed cluster (for example MongoDB Atlas) or run a local container. Both approaches are described in Database Options. After you have the URI, drop it into
MONGODB_URL(and, if desired, setMONGODB_DB_NAME).Step 3 – Install and launch the dev server:
You now have Chat UI running against the Hugging Face router without needing to host MongoDB yourself.
Chat history, users, settings, files, and stats all live in MongoDB. You can point Chat UI at any MongoDB 6/7 deployment.
