What is SlickGPT by ShipBit?
SlickGPT is a lightweight, open-source web client for interacting with OpenAI-compatible APIs, built using Svelte and SvelteKit. Users provide their own API keys or opt for the Pro subscription to access models like GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 Turbo, Llama 3 via Groq, and Mistral Large without managing keys. It features a fancy, mobile-first UI with local chat history in IndexedDB, shareable chat links without login, customizable context prompts, advanced model settings like temperature and top_p, real-time token cost calculation with pie charts, and light/dark mode switching.
Key features include deleting/editing messages, auto-suggesting chat titles, stopping generation mid-response, vision support for OpenAI models, and full self-hosting capability on any provider supporting SvelteKit. No registration is needed for basic use, ensuring quick starts, and chats remain private unless shared. Pro users get unlimited access via Azure infrastructure for a fixed fee, supporting the project while avoiding per-token billing.
It's ideal for developers, AI enthusiasts, teams brainstorming ideas, and heavy ChatGPT users seeking more control, privacy, and cost transparency. Power users appreciate the configuration depth and local hosting, while casual users enjoy the polished interface and sharing ease over official ChatGPT.
