I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.
Expected Behavior
The system should call the title generation feature only for the first message.
Actual Behavior
When interacting with a model, title generation is currently triggered for every message sent during the conversation. Specifically:
The system invokes the title generation process each time a new message is sent.
The model used for this task is the one configured in ADMIN SETTINGS → INTERFACE.
This approach leads to:
Excessive token usage, as the title generation model is called redundantly.
Resource waste, particularly when long conversations involve frequent back-and-forth messages.
We should restrict title generation to execute only once, specifically during the first message exchange of a conversation. Subsequent messages should bypass this process unless explicitly reinitialized by the user.
Steps to Reproduce
Set a custom model for title generation via ADMIN SETTINGS -> INTERFACE
Use a model
Logs & Screenshots
Sending screenshot now. I am using OpenRouter.
