I just started going a few years back and I agree, it is really well done. One of my neighbors is the king’s main guard, so we get all sorts of behind the scenes anecdotes at the kids’ bus stop in the morning.

Our team has been using openwebui as the interface for our stack of open source models we run internally at work and it’s been fantastic! It has a great feature set, good support for MCPs, and is easy to stand up and maintain.
