About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Zola is a self-hostable AI chat application that combines cloud providers such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral with local Ollama models in one interface. It also supports OpenRouter BYOK, file uploads, system prompts, and multiple layouts.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Switch between several AI providers from one chat UI

Zola supports multiple cloud model providers and can use user-supplied keys through OpenRouter.

Bring local Ollama models into the same interface

When Ollama is running, Zola can detect local models and expose them alongside cloud models.

Sources: [2][3]

For users who want to compare and switch between cloud and local models without changing chat apps

It fits workflows that use several AI providers or combine hosted models with local Ollama models.

Treat it as beta and trace authentication, storage, and model-provider data flows

The README calls the project beta and no GitHub Release is published. Authentication/file storage use Supabase, while cloud providers receive prompts and context sent to their models. Ollama only localizes the models routed through it. Zola is Apache-2.0.
