What is LobeChat?
LobeChat is an open-source chat framework with a modern UI, plugin ecosystem, and multi-model support. It can be deployed as a personal AI assistant or a team chat platform. With 56,000 GitHub stars, it is one of the most popular open-source AI chat projects. Features include conversation branching, file uploads, TTS, image generation, and a marketplace of plugins.
LobeChat supports custom OpenAI-compatible providers in its settings. Add EUrouter as a provider, enter your API key and base URL, and every model call routes through EU infrastructure. LobeChat also supports self-hosting, so you can run the frontend in the EU and connect to EUrouter for a fully European AI chat stack.
