May I choose the RAG Embedding model? Since I have deployed openwebui onto my NAS server, which has limited computing power, can I opt for OpenAI's embedding model to reduce local computational resources usage?

Embedding is currently only possible locally, there's no support for using external embedding model APIs as of right now. PRs of course welcome, we could potentially support Ollama or OpenAI embedding I think.

Yes, that's a great idea, which would give openwebui more flexibility.
