Visualization Interface Operation Guide

In addition to interacting with models via the command line, CSGHub-Lite also provides an intuitive visualization Web interface, allowing users to manage models more conveniently.

How to Open the Interface​

Run the following command in the terminal to start the visualization service:

# Start visualization interface
csghub-lite serve

Upon successful startup, you will see output information similar to the following:

csghub-lite server listening on :11435
  Web UI:     http://localhost:11435/
  Ollama API: http://localhost:11435/api/chat
  OpenAI API: http://localhost:11435/v1/chat/completions

At this point, simply visit http://localhost:11435/ in your browser to enter the visualization operation interface.

Core Sections​

The entire UI is divided into six core functional areas:

1. Dashboard - Real-time Operation Monitoring​

This is the default page after opening, displaying the system's "health status" and current inference tasks.

  • Resource Usage Cards: Real-time monitoring of CPU usage, RAM memory usage, and GPU VRAM usage.
  • Running Models List: Lists model names and loading durations in a table.
  • Action Items: Provides [Unload] (stop and unload the model from memory) and [API Call] (view the API address of the model) operations.
  • Live Logs: The area below displays scrolling logs for the selected model. alt text

2. Marketplace - Discovery and Download​

Integrates the csghub-lite search functionality, allowing users to discover new models without leaving the client.

  • Global Search: Supports searching for models and datasets from the OpenCSG community.
  • Download Logic: Clicking [Download] expands a progress bar in place, showing the download speed and time remaining, with support for pause/resume. alt text

3. Model Library - Local Model Management​

Manage all model files downloaded to the local machine.

  • Search and Filter: The top search box supports searching by name or filtering by format (GGUF/SafeTensors).
  • Model List Cards: Shows model names, formats, file sizes, and last update time.
  • Operations:
    • [Run]: Click to quickly start the model and enter the running state.
    • [Delete]: Remove the model file from the local machine. alt text

4. Datasets - Discovery and Management​

Manage all dataset files downloaded to the local machine.

  • Search Datasets: The top search box supports searching by name.
  • Dataset List Cards: Shows dataset names, file sizes, and last update time.
  • Operations:
    • [Details]: View the dataset's file list.
    • [Delete]: Remove the dataset file from the local machine. alt text

5. Playground - Interactive Conversation​

An experimental playground to test model effects, featuring more parameter controls.

  • Model Selector: To the left of the message input box, allowing switching between models.
  • Right Configuration Panel:
    • System Prompt: Customize the system prompt for the role.
    • Parameters: Includes sliders for Temperature, Top-P, Context Length, etc. alt text

6. Settings - Unified Management​

This page serves as a centralized settings hub for personalizing CSGHub-Lite according to your needs.

  • Model Storage Location: View and customize the path where local model files are stored.
  • Context Length: Adjustable slider (4k - 256k) to set the context window for local LLMs, determining how much conversation history the model can "remember".
  • Language Switch: Quickly toggle between EN (English) and 中文 (Chinese).
  • Version Info: Displays the current version number of the client.
  • Restore Defaults: A one-click button to reset all settings to their original configuration. alt text
