Terminal based with vim inspired bindings

Use n to create a new chat and put the prompt field into insert mode. The prompt entry field behaves like a vim buffer. Press Esc to return to normal mode. Use b and w to traverse words. cc deletes the entire line and puts you back in insert mode. Use h and l to switch between models associated with the current chat. j and k traverse down and up in the current chat messages, respectively. These are just a few examples - see key bindings for a comprehensive list.

Concurrent Chat

Use one model for a traditional chat experience. Add additional models to a chat to send prompts all models concurrently. Use h and l to cycle through the responses of each model.
