Since we are on HN here, I can highly recommend open-webui with some OpenAI-compatible provider. I'm running with Deep Infra for more than a year now and am very happy. New models are usually available within one or two days after release. Also have some friends who use the service almost daily.

I'm using open-webui at home with a couple of different models. gemma2-9b fits in VRAM on a NV 3060 card + performs nicely.

What is the memory of your NV3060? 8GB?

12GB (edit: that is what mine is)

Do you have rough indication of token/s ?

I too run openweb-ui locally and use deepinfra.com as my backend. It has been working very well, and I am quite happy with deepinfra's pricing and privacy policy.

I have set up the same thing at work for my colleagues, and they find it better than openai for their tasks.

Yeah, openweb-ui is the best frontend for API queries. Everything seems to work well.

I've tried LibreChat before, but the app is terrible at generating titles for chats instead of leaving it as "New Chat". Also it lacks a working Code Interpreter.

And it’s quite easy to set up a Cloudflare tunnel to make your open-webui instance accessible online too just you

... or a TailScale network. I've been leaving open-webui running on my laptop on my desk and then going out into the word and accessing it from my phone via TailScale, works great.

Yeah this sounds like the more secure option, you don't want to be dependent on a single flaw in a web service
Re:Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Smarter and Lighter by totetsu on Monday March 24, 2025 @10:15PM (#43467521)
I would use tail scale. But I specifically want to use open web-ui from a place I can’t install a Tailscale client

where's that?
Re:Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Smarter and Lighter by wkat4242 on Monday March 24, 2025 @08:40PM (#43466949)
Yeah OpenWebUI is great with local models too. I love it. You can even do a combo, send the same prompt to local and cloud and even various providers and compare the results.

I've tried using it, but it's browser tab seems to peg one core to 100% after some time. Anyone else experienced it?
Re:Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Smarter and Lighter by indigodaddy on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @12:27PM (#43473139)
Can open-webui update code on your local computer ala cursor etc?
Re:Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Smarter and Lighter by cess11 on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @01:04PM (#43473514)
It has a module system so maybe it can but it seems more people are using Aider or Continue for that. There's a bit of stitching things together regardless of whether you show your project to some SaaS or run local models but if you can manage a Linux system it'll be easy.

Personally I heavily dislike the experience though, so I might not be the best one to answer.
