In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build an interactive Streamlit Python-based UI that connects seamlessly with your vLLM-powered multimodal backend. You'll write a simple yet flexible frontend that lets users upload images, enter text prompts, and receive smart, vision-aware responses from the LLaVA model - served via vLLM's OpenAI-compatible interface. By the end, you'll have a clean multimodal chat interface that can be deployed locally or in the cloud - ready to power real-world apps in healthcare, education, document understanding, and beyond.
