AiChat

A simple UI to interact with various llm backends: openai, groq, fireworksai and togheterai

What is AiChat?

AiChat is an open-source chat interface designed to easily test multiple LLMs from the same web app. This tool is particularly useful for developers and researchers who want to compare different language models’ outputs in a single, cohesive interface.

Features

• Supports multiple LLM backends: OpenAI, Groq, FireworksAI, and TogetherAI.
• Chats are automatically saved in the MongoDB database.
• Code snippets generated by the AI are automatically syntax-highlighted based on the detected language.
• User-friendly web interface built with SvelteKit.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: SvelteKit
• Backend: Node.js
• Database: MongoDB

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run AiChat on your local machine.

Prerequisites

1. Node.js and npm (or pnpm)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/polly3223/AiChat

   SECRET_TOGHETERAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
   SECRET_GROQ_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
   SECRET_FIREWORKS_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
   SECRET_OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXX
   

   The MongoDB connection string, a password, and at least one API token from one of the AI service providers are required.

3. Set up the AI client: Based on the API service you want to use, go to the file aiAdapter.ts and uncomment its relative line:

   // export const aiClient: AiClient = new GroqClient();
   // export const aiClient: AiClient = new ToghetherAiClient();
   // export const aiClient: AiClient = new FireworksAiClient();
   export const aiClient: AiClient = new OpenAiClient();
   

4. Install the dependencies:

   pnpm install
   

5. Run the project:
