Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

In some cases, servers may not be fast enough to generate embeddings for large files, whereas local machines often have more powerful hardware.

Desired Solution you'd like

This is not about using external providers to generate embeddings.

Allow OpenWebUI to import pre-generated embeddings in a compatible format. This would enable users to create embeddings locally or on another machine and then load them into OpenWebUI, reducing server load and speeding up document processing.
