open source framework that makes your AI agents generate UI elements

Key points

• the project is called OpenUI. their thesis is that instead of having an llm respond with walls of text or markdown, what if it could generate actual interactive interfaces in real time?1
• you might have seen openai recently introduce something similar inside the chatgpt/codex app called "intelligent ui". funnily enough openui has been working on the EXACT same underlying problem for quite some time, except their approach is open source (MIT licensed) and model agnostic.1
• and they just launched OpenUI 1.0.1
• the same team also released "OUI-1", an open-weight model specifically trained for generative ui (oui-1 ≠ openui 1.0 i think?) which is based on diffusiongemma, with 4b active parameters, and apparently scores 71.7% on their generative ui benchmark(take them with a grain of salt tho)1

  came across an interesting open source project that just released its 1.0 version, and thought the community might find it interesting, especially given all the recent developments around generative ui.
