VOID

LLM chat interfaces are usually boring, so I made one that's cool.

Some of the states

standby — nothing happening, the core drifts on its own ambient rhythm	dream — deep idle, the sky comes all the way forward	think — slow wide drift while the model reasons
spiral — a long reply arriving; the disk winds up as it streams in	discharge — a shell/tool-style burst, arcs firing across the mesh	weave — an edit-shaped state, helix and rings interlocking
crystal — a planning state, the lattice locks into place	shield — waiting on you, shields lock until answered	overload — heavy concurrent work, the core runs hot and red
nova — sustained overload, the core blazes over	flare — a hard flash on error, decaying back	collapse — a fault, maximum curvature, the horizon takes the frame

Type /states in the dock to see the full list of 27, or /demo to watch VOID cycle through all of them, or /demo <name> to hold one and study it.

Bring your own model

VOID doesn't ship a backend. It talks directly, from the browser, to whatever API you point it at:

• OpenAI — and anything that speaks the same chat-completions dialect (Groq, OpenRouter, local llama.cpp servers, etc.)
• Anthropic (Claude)
• Ollama — fully local, no API key, localhost:11434

Open void.html (just double-click it, or serve it with anything static) and link a model from the message dock:

/connect openai      sk-...              gpt-4o-mini
/connect anthropic   sk-ant-...          claude-sonnet-4-20250514
/connect ollama                          llama3.2
/connect groq         gsk_...            llama-3.3-70b-versatile
/connect openrouter   sk-or-...          openai/gpt-4o-mini
/connect custom       https://host/v1    sk-...     my-model

Arguments after the provider name are [api-key] [model] (for ollama and custom it's [base-url] [model] / <base-url> <api-key> [model]). Once connected the choice is remembered in localStorage, so reloading the page picks the same model back up. /connect on its own shows the current connection; /model <name> and /key <key> change one piece without retyping the rest.

Because the browser talks to these APIs directly, no data passes through any third-party server other than the one you connect to — your key never leaves the page except in requests to that provider.

A note on Anthropic and CORS

Anthropic's API supports direct browser calls when the request includes an explicit opt-in header, which VOID sends automatically. No proxy needed.

Commands

Everything happens in the one input field at the bottom:

Command	What it does
/connect [provider] [...]	Link a model, or show the current connection
/model <name>	Switch models without touching the rest of the config
/key <key>	Update the API key in place
/states	List every visual state and what triggers it
/cosmos	Tour the five mathematical scenes at a slower pace
/cosmos off	Return to live activity
/demo	Tour all states automatically
/demo <name>	Hold one state so you can look at it
/demo off	Release the demo and return to live activity
/stop	Abort the current turn

Running it

There's genuinely nothing to install.

python3 -m http.server 5713
# open http://localhost:5713/void.html

or just open the file directly in a browser. If you're connecting to a local Ollama instance, make sure it's running (ollama serve) — VOID talks to it on localhost:11434 by default.
