ChatGPT Clone is now LibreChat 🎉
This project has evolved a lot since it first started, and I'm happy to say it keeps improving thanks to community support, so much so that it can't simply be called a ChatGPT Clone anymore. While the UI/design will continue to stay true to chat.openai.com, it's evident this project is standing out among a sea of ChatGPT Clones. The name was first introduced by @ClaraLeigh and was favored by the community over other options. I like the Latin emphasis of Libre, which is understood in software to mean "With very few limitations on distribution or the right to access the source code to create improved versions." This project will continue to emphasize and utilize open-source solutions and philosophies, to improve upon its origin for those who build and use it.
What's next
The next release will introduce the new plugins endpoint to the project, which opens the door to plugins and chain-of-thought prompting, and later, along with additional LLMs and plugins, other forms of prompting over traditional input/outputs.
The plugins endpoint allows the use of tools in a way similar to the official ChatGPT Plugins feature. It also enables changing conversation settings, including models, presets, and settings, mid-conversation, even without plugins. This is beneficial for varying responses between different models like GPT-4 and GPT-3. Future updates will introduce PaLM2 and HuggingFace models and tree-of-thought prompting to the endpoint.
