De TL;DR: Three actively developed self-hosted ChatGPT interfaces with very different priorities. LibreChat handles every major LLM provider with enterprise auth in one stack. Open WebUI is the fastest to set up if Ollama is your world. Chatbot UI is designed to be forked - the right choice if you want to build on top of it, not run it as-is.
