The chat.librechat.ai demo is for evaluation. The party that installs it is responsible for the security of API keys and conversation data. The official homepage announces that LibreChat has joined ClickHouse (details of the operating structure need checking)
At a glance
LibreChat is an open-source chat platform you install yourself, so you can use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local models and more together in a screen similar to ChatGPT. It suits companies/teams that want to build an in-house AI chat, and developers who want to use several models with their own API keys. The software is free, and you pay only the model usage fees to each provider.

Compared with similar services
- LibreChat vs Open WebUI: Both are self-hosted multi-model chat. LibreChat has broader commercial API model integration and SSO/agent features
- LibreChat vs subscription all-in-one services like Oosoo AI: A subscription service is used with a flat fee and no installation, while LibreChat needs installation but the software is free and API costs are pay as you go
- LibreChat + LiteLLM: A common setup puts a LiteLLM gateway behind it to control costs/keys
