About Text Generation WebUI
Text Generation WebUI is a Gradio-based web interface designed for interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs) locally. It supports a wide range of local text generation backends, including llama.cpp, Transformers, ExLlamaV3, ExLlamaV2, and TensorRT-LLM, making it highly versatile for different model types and hardware configurations. The platform emphasizes ease of setup, offering portable builds that require zero installation and one-click installers for more advanced configurations, ensuring accessibility for users with varying technical expertise.
This tool is ideal for developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts who want to run and experiment with LLMs privately and offline. Key features include support for multimodal models (vision), image generation, web search integration, and an OpenAI-compatible API. Users can engage in instruct mode, chat with custom characters, and leverage automatic prompt formatting. The WebUI also provides extensive customization options with multiple sampling parameters, generation options, and an extension system, allowing for sophisticated control over text generation and integration with additional functionalities.
