Assessment: Adopt
I’ve used open-webui both in personal, everyday use and at professional settings and it is by far the BEST when it comes to hosting your own ChatGPT but with a lot more features that it ever will since this actually lets you connect to other foundational models and inference hosts.
The software also gets regular, stable updates and the features are improving over time, while also being its own thing and isn’t merely copying other platforms.
