ChatGPT Clone demonstrates a ChatGPT-style conversational interface wired to large-language-model backends, packaged so developers can self-host and extend. The goal is to replicate the core chat UX—message history, streaming tokens, code blocks, and system prompts—while letting you plug in different provider APIs or local models. It showcases a clean separation between the web client and the message orchestration layer so you can experiment with prompts, roles, and memory strategies. The project is useful for prototyping assistants, documentation bots, and internal developer tools without committing to a specific vendor or UI framework. Configuration is kept simple so newcomers can get a working chat in minutes and then dial in features like authentication or multi-model routing. While it illustrates how to hook into third-party LLM endpoints, it is typically positioned as an educational, self-hosted starter that you should operate responsibly and within provider's terms of use.
