@dht-hedaihua commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
I also encountered a similar error in the latest version 0.5.9 (docker start), where all conversations became unavailable:
However, from the console, I can see that the large language model responded to the message normally：
@GM020 commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
I have a similar issue - SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<html>
<h"... is not valid JSON
gpt-4o and ollama work fine. But Deepseek R1 responses give this error.
Ollana and Deepseek are serverless endpoints on Azure.
@controlaltnerd commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
I'm getting something similar with every model through any connection:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'd', "data: {"id"... is not valid JSON. Everything was fine this morning, then I updated from 0.5.7 to 0.5.9 and now no conversations work. However, I have continue.dev in VS Code connected to my OpenWebUI instance, and chats through the API are working just fine.@tjbck commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
We'll need full backend logs here, unable to reproduce with chatgpt-4o + duckduckgo.
@codecrafting-io commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2025):
For me when using Deepseek R1 14B with duckduckgo it shows the error "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'pop'"
