Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated because some API providers do not support the /v1/models endpoint to retrieve available models, but they do support the /v1/chat/completions endpoint for normal chat interactions. This limitation prevents the use of certain API providers with OpenWebUI, as it currently relies on the /v1/models endpoint to detect available models.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to request the ability to manually customize or input a model in the top left corner of the interface. This feature would allow users to specify the model they want to use when the API provider does not support the /v1/models endpoint, enabling broader compatibility with different API providers.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative could be implementing a fallback mechanism where, if the /v1/models endpoint is not supported by the API provider, users could still input a model manually or select from a predefined list of commonly used models.

This enhancement would greatly improve flexibility and compatibility with a wider range of API providers.

In addition, I'd like to point out that it is the case with perplexity API.
