Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.28

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 24

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Generated RAG queries are visible.

Actual Behavior

When using a model with attached knowledge base, generated RAG queries are visible only for a brief moment, but they are gone after the response is fully generated.

When using a model WITHOUT attached KB from the model card, but add KB in the chat, everything works as expected.

The issue is clearly visible in the video below.

Steps to Reproduce

Use model with attached knowledge base on the model card. Send a RAG query into a chat. Generated queries list (mostly 3) only flashes, but disappear afterwards.
