Dear Open WebUI Team,

I've been exploring the Open WebUI and have come across the "Local Models" and "External Models" features. I'm quite curious about these and would greatly appreciate some clarification. Could you please explain what these terms refer to and how exactly they differ in functionality? Additionally, I'm interested in understanding if there are any specific scenarios where one might be preferred over the other.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
