Lobe Chat Pro is an AI creation platform extended from the open-source project lobe-chat. It adds an infinite canvas feature, supports multiple image and video models (like doubao, google, openai, kling, midjourney, etc.), and provides independent panels for drawing, music, and video creation. Additionally, it includes comprehensive backend management: user management (registration/login, grouping, referral rewards), model management (providers, pricing, API keys), payment systems (WeChat Pay, Yipay, Hupijiao, Stripe), billing (recharge, exchange, consumption, refund), order management, message recording, and notifications. The project also offers a special relay station version for quick integration with relay services like one-api and new-api, with a pure frontend deployment option.
