What is Biniou?
Biniou is a powerful self-hosted web user interface (WebUI) designed for various types of Generative AI (GenAI). It enables you to create multimedia content with AI and utilize a chatbot right from your computer, even without a dedicated GPU. All you need is a minimum of 8GB RAM, and importantly, it can work offline once deployed with the necessary models downloaded. This allows you the freedom to generate and explore multimedia creativity without always needing an active internet connection.
Features of Biniou
- Text generation using various models, including chatbots and translation.
- Image generation and modification capabilities with different modules.
- Audio and video generation capabilities.
- Compatible with various operating systems, including GNULinux, Windows, and macOS.
- Support for multiple models and frameworks.

Understanding Installation with an Analogy
Imagine you’re building a car from scratch. The first thing you need is a solid foundation, just like you need a 64-bit CPU and at least 8GB RAM for Biniou. Once you have the framework, you gather premium parts (models) to enhance its performance. Similarly, installing Biniou involves not only setting up the base software but also fetching the models that will make your car (or in this case, your multimedia creations) truly unique and functional.
Troubleshooting
If Biniou experiences crashes or does not perform as expected, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:
- Ensure your system meets the recommended hardware specifications, particularly RAM (16GB or more is advisable).
- Check that all models are correctly downloaded and stored as Biniou needs approximately 200GB for all modules’ default models.
- If the installation is causing issues, verify that your internet connection is stable during the downloading of dependencies.
