I want to rename a model from: mannix/llama3.1b-8b-abliteriated:latest
To: Uncensored 3.1b 8b
I saw several discussions and bug reports on this, which suggest that this feature exists, but I can't figure out how to change the name of an Ollama model inside Open-WebUI as people have suggested. Maybe I'm having trouble navigating the UI. I even tried creating a new model, but that didn't work. I simply want to rename an existing model that I use.

Profit!
Thank you, please also add it under the top right when I go to the model overview page from admin settings. So many different places to configure!

For me, when I click on "Models" in "My workspace" it doesn't show any models - even though there clearly is one (connected via OpenAI API), which I can use when starting a new conversation. The model shows up in the Admin panel, but I can't change the name there. Also, I'd like to change the name for all users, not just myself.
EDIT: The easiest way to handle this for me was to provide my custom model name to the inference server (vLLM in my case; the option is --served-model-name "customname") which it then passes through to open-webui.

I cannot find out how to change the model name and icon with koboldcpp thought OpenAI API. Such a basic feature as just changing the name shouldn't be such a tough thing to find, if it's even possible at all with koboldcpp + open-webui. My webui looks different than all the screenshots too, I just want to rename the model instead of having it show "koboldcpp/llama2...". Extremely frustrating.

@Iemand005 I figured it out. What you do is go to "My workspace". Then you click on the "+" on the upper right side. Then you can "create" a new model based on another model. So you select the model you want to use and give it a new name, then publish it as a "new" model with the new name. This way you can also publish the same model multiple times with different system prompts / settings.
