Is it possible to not use the Lite UI when launch KoboldCpp?

[kmcbest]

By default KoboldCpp.exe launches with the Kobold Lite UI. However, many tutorial videos are using another UI which I think is the "full" UI, like this:

Even on KoboldCpp's Usage section it was said "To run, execute koboldcpp.exe or drag and drop your quantized ggml_model.bin file onto the .exe, and then connect with Kobold or Kobold Lite. " But how can I connect with Kobold but not Lite?

You have to download the full kobold client from this repo, follow the instructions (about 10gb installed):

https://github.com/henk717/KoboldAI

After installation, start both programs. Then you can select "AI" -> Online Services -> KoboldAI API

and use http://localhost:5001 as the target

OK so it is not feasible for KoboldCpp to use the full UI? I really want to save 10GB of disk space because CPP is so lightweight.

Nope, the full UI is only available with Kobold United

For context, our normal UI's are very heavily tied into the main KoboldAI and without a KoboldAI server they can't do anything. While Lite is a recreation entirely in Javascript.
