Text-generation-webui
A Gradio-based local chat UI for running LLMs (llama.cpp, ExLlama, Transformers, GGUF) on your own GPU/CPU. Its standout trait is backend flexibility — swap inference engines and models without changing the UI.

⚙ Full Stack
Python + Gradio web UI process that loads models via pluggable backends (llama.cpp, ExLlamaV2, Transformers/bitsandbytes). No database — state is chat history in memory/JSON files and model weights on disk.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Effectively single-tenant per GPU: one model instance serves one interactive session well, but concurrent users queue behind the same GPU with no built-in load balancing or session isolation. Horizontal scaling requires running N independent pods behind a router, which the project doesn't provide out of the box.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deployable as a single GPU pod on Nexlayer, but it assumes single-user access with no auth in front of the Gradio UI, so it needs a reverse-proxy auth layer before exposing via <% URL %>. GPU scheduling and multi-GB model downloads at pod start are the main gotchas; mirror.gcr.io isn't very relevant since the base image is usually a custom CUDA/PyTorch build.
