Chuanhu Chat is a web interface for chatting with AI models. It supports online models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek, as well as models you run yourself, such as ChatGLM, LLaMA and Qwen.
Extra features include answering questions from your own files, web search, an automatic assistant mode for multi-step problems, and fine-tuning some GPT models. Chat history can be searched and renamed, and it works on phones and can be installed as a web app.
