π§ Omni: the new default routing model
When you send a message, Omni analyzes what you need and routes you to the best model for that specific task.
Each route uses the best model for its task. You see which model handled your request while it streams.
π Examples
| What you ask | Route | Model |
|---|---|---|
| "Help me decide between two job offers. One pays 20% more but requires relocation." | decision_support |
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528 |
| "Create a React component for an image carousel with lazy loading" | code_generation |
Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct |
| "Write a short mystery story set in a lighthouse during a storm" | creative_writing |
moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905 |
| "Translate this to French: The meeting has been rescheduled to next Tuesday" | translation |

βοΈ Under the hood
Omni uses a policy-based routing system. Each route has:
- A clear description of what it handles
- A primary model best suited for that task
- Fallback models if the primary is unavailable
The router model analyzes your conversation and picks the matching route. Fast (10 second timeout) and runs on every message. Credits to Katanemo for their routing model: katanemo/Arch-Router-1.5B
β¨ What else is new
- Background generation tracking: Multiple conversations can generate at the same time. Switch between tabs and the app tracks what's still generating. Updates appear automatically when responses finish.
- Better streaming: Text renders faster and smoother. The app only updates what changed instead of re-rendering everything. Less flickering, especially in long responses with code blocks.
- Better UX: UX was refined throughout the app. Fewer bugs and rough edges. Preview for code, beautiful streaming and more polish and attention to detail everywhere.
- Speed optimizations: Sessions stay active longer with automatic token refresh. Response times improved across the board. The whole app feels faster.
π οΈ Run it yourself
HuggingChat is of course still 100% open source. It has never been easier to self-host your own instance.
Quick setup:
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/chat-ui
cd chat-ui
npm install
npm run dev
Only 3 env variables to set to get it working in .env:
MONGODB_URL- Your MongoDB connectionOPENAI_API_KEY- Your API keyOPENAI_BASE_URL- Your endpoint URL
You can also configure your own routes in a JSON file. Each route defines which models to use for specific tasks.

Hope you are as excited as we are about HuggingChat Omni! Please share your feedback and ideas in this thread π€
Is it possible to import my conversations from the previous version of HuggingChat?
Yeah this dumbing down the system was totally worth nuking everyone's logs and assistants...? The performance improvements are nice if true, but how can you call this a better UX when so many basic features are missing from the last version? Even simple settings are gone, like no options to delete or edit output? There isn't even a way to tweak temperature/repetition minimizing settings, or give different chats different system prompts??
wow, I'm kind of surprised it's back. feels like a tad bit of a downgrade, but I'm assuming that it was a complete rework? hoping that more QoL features will be reintroduced again.
Does the platform now impose usage limits based on inference credits for free users?
we're so back
edit:
nevermind, cant delete the conversation branch like beforeπ’
edit 2:
and it now has a limit. Its been over six hours and i still cant continue the conversation π
Thanks for getting this running
Listen to us, Victor. Change it back.
I will see what I can do the problem is really spammers right now :/
Is it only me, or Hugging Chat is not working? When I try to use it, it says the omnia don't exist, and if I try to use other ones, it doesn't work anyway.
Inference was broken for 1 hour but it should be back now (sorry about it)
Thank you π
Not a good first impression (default settings):
- it does not fetch the code from which the chat is started, this should be automatic
- knowledge cutoff seems to be in 2024, which makes it kind of useless overall
