Hello @Sherry,

Welcome to our community! We’re happy to have you here—enjoy your journey Weaviating!

We have a GUI that apps, and tools are designed to internal with Weaviate DB, incredibly helpful and user-friendly. However, these are currently available only within our cloud environment. If you deploy a cluster in our cloud, you’ll be able to access and interact with these features

For open source, please see this tool:

Hi @Shahin Thanks for your reply 🙂  
One more question: how to set the customized model (I would like to use Zhipu’s model)when I initiate a Weaviate DB instance, and use it to create the object? Can we set the environment variables (DEFAULT\_VECTORIZER\_MODULE=custom,CUSTOM\_VECTORIZER\_URL)for the cloud instance?

```auto
version: '3.4'
services:
  weaviate:
    image: semitechnologies/weaviate:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT=20
      - AUTHENTICATION_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED=true
      - PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/weaviate
      - DEFAULT_VECTORIZER_MODULE=custom
      - CUSTOM_VECTORIZER_URL=http://zhipu-api-url/v1/vectorize
      - CUSTOM_VECTORIZER_API_KEY=your_zhipu_api_key

```

Hi @Sherry,

I am not sure if we currently working on integration with Zhipu models. Our available model providers here:

> **[Model provider integrations | Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/model-providers)**
>
> Weaviate integrates with a variety of self-hosted and API-based models from a range of providers.

Alternatively until then, if you are able to vectorize your data outside of Weaviate, you can embed the vectors into Weaviate using the “Bring Your Own Vectors” feature.

If you’d like integration with Zhipu models, you can open a feature request

> **[weaviate/weaviate](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues)**

> Weaviate is an open-source vector database that stores both objects and vectors, allowing for the combination of vector search with structured filtering with the fault tolerance and scalability of ...

Good morning @Sherry,

I wanted to share something you might find useful since you asked about a GUI (Graphical User Interface) before so here is a desktop admin app with cool UI → [https://github.com/Shah91n/WeavyAdmin](https://github.com/Shah91n/WeavyAdmin).

We love our open-source community. For self-hosted clusters whether they are on Kubernetes or just running locally, there wasn’t really a dedicated tool. To fill that gap, I built **WeavyAdmin** , a native desktop app for managing Weaviate clusters: [https://github.com/Shah91n/WeavyAdmin](https://github.com/Shah91n/WeavyAdmin).

It’s the kind of tool I kept wishing existed for everyone using the self-hosted version, at least until an official desktop app declaration.
