AIdea Server

AIdea Server is the open-source backend of AIdea, an all-in-one AI chat and image-generation app. Written in Go and published on GitHub by mylxsw, it integrates mainstream large language models — GPT models, Tongyi Qianwen, ERNIE Bot and others — together with Stable Diffusion text-to-image, image-to-image, SDXL and upscaling, and serves them to the AIdea mobile and desktop clients. The project has around 1,800 stars and is actively maintained, with code last updated in 2026.

Overview

AIdea gives end users a single app for chat and image creation across many model providers, and this server is the engine behind it: account and quota handling, model routing, conversation storage and image task processing. Because the server is fully open source, you can self-host the whole stack with Docker and your own API keys instead of relying on the managed cloud service.

Key Features

• Multi-model chat backend: OpenAI GPT, Tongyi Qianwen, ERNIE Bot and more
• Stable Diffusion image generation with text-to-image, image-to-image and upscaling
• Go implementation designed for efficient self-hosting, with Docker deployment
• Companion open-source clients (AIdea app) for a complete end-to-end stack
• User, quota and collaboration features for shared or team deployments
• Managed cloud option if you prefer not to run your own server

💳 Pricing

Freemium. The server is fully open source and free to self-host; the vendor also offers a managed cloud service and paid assisted deployment for users who want it run for them, and model usage costs depend on your own API keys.

Who Is It For

Developers and small teams who want a ready-made, self-hostable AI chat and image app backend, and AIdea app users who prefer running the service on their own infrastructure.
