FastChat
An open platform for training, serving and evaluating chat models. It produced Vicuna and runs Chatbot Arena, where people blind-compare model answers.
Who it is for
For people standing up their own model serving stack or comparing models.
How to start
- Install:
pip3 install "fschat[model_worker,webui]". - Chat in the terminal:
python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.5. - For the web UI and API, set up a controller and workers from the Serving sections.

The core library for working with models: one codebase for text, vision, audio and multimodal tasks, for both inference and training. Most new open models ship through it.
A self-hosted ChatGPT-style interface that connects to Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible API. Installs with a single Docker command and runs on your own server.
A C/C++ engine that runs language models on ordinary hardware: laptops, phones, GPU-less servers. Much of local AI, Ollama included, is built on it.
Repository of the large open DeepSeek-V3 mixture-of-experts model: description, benchmark results and run instructions. It showed an open model can stand next to closed ones.
The foundation under most modern neural networks: GPU-accelerated tensors and automatic differentiation, wrapped in ordinary Python. Transformers, Llama and nearly every open model are written on it.
