Bug Report

Description

I set up OpenWebUI to share my OpenAI GPT with others. However, as the conversation history grows longer, it continuously sends all previous content to OpenAI, resulting in high costs. I want to address this issue by limiting the number of tokens transmitted or the number of chat messages. I've been trying to find a solution, such as configurations in the config file or environment variable settings, but I haven't found a place where I can make these changes. Perhaps I just haven't found it.

Expected Behavior:
The expected result is that when I set the model parameters in the settings panel or environment variables and save them, they should apply to the default settings for all users.

Actual Behavior:
The settings do not apply to all users; they are only applied to my own settings.

Environment

Open WebUI Version: [e.g., 0.1.120]
Ollama (if applicable): [e.g., 0.1.30, 0.1.32-rc1]
Operating System: [e.g., Windows 10, macOS Big Sur, Ubuntu 20.04]
Browser (if applicable): [e.g., Chrome 100.0, Firefox 98.0]

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.

Logs and Screenshots

Installation Method

Related https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/1268, https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/665 will be the recommended method to set params per model.

Sorry, after looking at several other issues, I still don’t understand how to set it up. Could you please point out an effective way to set it up?

@tjbck Was this stuff removed from the UI? There's no admin menu for setting model params anymore.
