- Customizable Chat UI instances with supported LLMs on Hugging Face Spaces
- Compatibility with HF Space secrets for deploying models with gated access or from private repositories
- Integration with Inference for PROs curated list of powerful models with higher rate limits
- Web search feature that generates search queries from user prompts, performs web search and extracts content, and uses embeddings for vector similarity search
- Optional OpenID authentication for users
- Customizable theming using environment variables
- Svelte
Svelte is a modern front-end framework that compiles your code at build time, resulting in smaller and faster applications. It uses a reactive approach to update the DOM, allowing for high performance and a smoother user experience.

Bits UI is a headless component library for Svelte that provides unstyled, accessible UI primitives. It powers shadcn-svelte and offers a foundation for building custom component libraries with full accessibility support in the Svelte ecosystem.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
