Best for	—	Developers and ML engineers self-hosting LLMs Teams needing on-premise or air-gapped AI for privacy Builders avoiding per-token API costs at scale
Pros	One familiar interface across many providers, with live model switching Rich features: agents, MCP, code interpreter, artifacts, and message search Secure multi-user authentication, so it works as a shared team front end Fully open source under the permissive MIT license and actively developed Bring your own API keys or connect local models; you control the stack	Free open weights you fully own and can run offline Gemma 4 uses a permissive Apache 2.0 license, simple for commercial use Multiple sizes from tiny on-device models to 31B-class quality Multimodal input (text, image, audio) and 140+ language support Broad tooling support: Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face, llama.cpp, Keras
Cons	It is only a front end; you must supply API keys or your own models (and pay for usage) Self-hosting involves Docker or Node plus a database and environment configuration The breadth of features and config options can overwhelm first-time setups No built-in model, so there is no value until you connect a provider	Requires your own hardware and setup, no polished consumer app Largest open sizes still trail top proprietary frontier models Running bigger variants well needs a capable GPU No managed hosting, scaling, or support out of the box You are responsible for safety, moderation, and compliance
