[open-webui](https://openwebui.com) reports 145k GitHub stars, 21k forks, and 391 open issues, last pushed Jul 10, 2026. [EAGLE](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.01840) has 2.5k stars, 292 forks, and 101 open issues, last pushed Feb 20, 2026.

Validate activity before betting a new project on EAGLE. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between open-webui and EAGLE? open-webui: User-friendly AI Interface (Supports Ollama, OpenAI API, ...). EAGLE: Official Implementation of EAGLE-1 (ICML'24), EAGLE-2 (EMNLP'24), and EAGLE-3 (NeurIPS'25)..

Choose open-webui over EAGLE when Tags unique to open-webui: ai, llm, openai, self-hosted; When you need to integrate multiple AI services, such as Ollama and OpenAI, into a unified user interface; More GitHub stars (145k vs 2.5k) - visibility, not fit. ### When should I choose EAGLE over open-webui? Choose EAGLE over open-webui when Tags unique to EAGLE: large-language-models, llm-inference, python, speculative-decoding; Leaner open-issue backlog (101). ### When should I avoid open-webui? When looking for tooling that exclusively supports APIs other than Ollama and OpenAI, as these are specific areas of focus for open-webui. If the requirement is a highly specialized interface tailored to specific tasks rather than a general AI interaction platform. ### When should I avoid EAGLE? Last GitHub push was 142 days ago (slowing maintenance, Feb 20, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on EAGLE. Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ### Is open-webui or EAGLE more popular on GitHub? open-webui has more GitHub stars (145,029 vs 2,450). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are open-webui and EAGLE open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (open-webui: Other, EAGLE: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to open-webui or EAGLE? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [open-webui alternatives](/tools/open-webui-open-webui/alternatives) and [EAGLE alternatives](/tools/safeailab-eagle/alternatives) ([open-webui markdown twin](/tools/open-webui-open-webui/alternatives.md), [EAGLE markdown twin](/tools/safeailab-eagle/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/open-webui-open-webui-vs-safeailab-eagle.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, open-webui or EAGLE? open-webui: Very active. EAGLE: Slowing. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for open-webui and EAGLE? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [open-webui trust report](/tools/open-webui-open-webui/trust); [EAGLE trust report](/tools/safeailab-eagle/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=open-webui-open-webui`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=open-webui-open-webui) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
