Hi everyone!

I have installed a model and run with MLX server, but I don't know how to use in this web UI. I run the server at localhost:9000 and I added it to Manage OpenAI API Connections, but it cannot find the model.

I don't want to use Ollama since it needs more memory than MLX.

Not working. It seems localhost:9000/v1/models returns an empty list, but I can use it through request in Python.
