Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:
Open WebUI doesn't load models from OpenAI-compatible backends that do not require an API key

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure Open WebUI with only an OpenAI connection that doesn't have an API key
{
  "openai": {
    "api_base_urls": [
      "http://litellm:4000/v1"
    ],
    "api_keys": [
      ""
    ],
    "enabled": true
  }
}
  1. Load Open WebUI
  2. Open the network browser dev tool
  3. Open the "Model List" dropdown

Expected Behavior:
GET /api/models - loads models from the endpoint

Actual Behavior:
GET /api/models - responds with an empty list

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: [e.g., 0.3.11]

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

Note, that adjusting the config to:

{
  "openai": {
    "api_base_urls": [
      "http://litellm:4000/v1"
    ],
    "api_keys": [
      "sk-fake-api-key"
    ],
    "enabled": true
  }
}

And then the model list is populated correctly

Browser Console Logs:

Backend config: {status: true, name: 'Harbor (Open WebUI)', version: '0.3.10', default_locale: '', default_models: null, …}
0.04e6f1aa.js:1 user-count {count: 1}
0.04e6f1aa.js:1 usage {models: Array(0)}models: [][[Prototype]]: Object
