Hello there! 👋

Imagine a world where local, open models that can run on any machine, united as one, outperform proprietary giants like GPT-4. Even better, imagine us all having the capability to train and reproduce state-of-the-art models like GPT-4 or GPT-5 from scratch, using high-quality, curated data.

Here's the thing, though: one of the biggest challenges in creating these foundation and fine-tune models is the substantial need for high-quality data, which is both costly and time-consuming to gather and curate. This is where Open WebUI's mission comes into play. Our mission is to contribute to this vision by building the best AI interface and crowdsourcing curated datasets from our community of users.

Allow me to introduce my work:

• 🛠️ Creator/Maintainer of open-webui, a project focused on simplifying the use of LLMs through a streamlined web interface.
• 🚀 Committed to enhancing open-webui with features that make it more powerful, intuitive, and accessible for all users.
• 🧪 Engaged in cutting-edge research applying LLMs in experimental environments.
• 🌟 Interested in our mission and future plans? Explore our roadmap here.

🙌 Your support is crucial. If your organization benefits from using open-webui, consider sponsoring us. Your sponsorship will enable us to:

1. Devote more time to development.
2. Tackle ambitious updates.
3. Introduce new features faster.

This not only ensures that the tool remains free and open-source but also helps us continuously improve, making the AI interface even better for everyone.
