Open WebUI Version

v0.6.43

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

macOS Sonoma

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,

Expected Behavior

Install successfully open-webui 0.6.43 (newest) package via uv command like this:

uv add "open-webui==0.6.43"

Actual Behavior

uv add "open-webui==0.6.43"

is failed by package conflict.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. start clean environment with mac console
  2. install python 3.12 and uv via homebrew
  3. run uv init -p 3.12 in an arbitrary directory
  4. run uv add "open-webui==0.6.43"

      hint: While the active Python version is 3.12, the resolution failed for other Python versions supported by your project. Consider
      limiting your project's supported Python versions using `requires-python`.
  help: If you want to add the package regardless of the failed resolution, provide the `--frozen` flag to skip locking and syncing.

Additional Information

After a quick investigation, I found that the error is caused by a conflict in the protobuf package requirements: the google-generativeai package requires <6.0.0dev, while other dependencies require >=6.0.0.
Even though google-generativeai==0.8.6—which is pinned in Open WebUI—is the latest version on PyPI, the google-generativeai library has already been deprecated and is no longer maintained.

It appears that Open WebUI now depends on the newer SDK google-genai, as suggested by the deprecation notice, but I’m not entirely sure if we can simply remove google-generativeai from Open WebUI’s dependencies.
When I tested Open WebUI without the google-generativeai package, it seemed to run successfully with a local Ollama setup.

@okamototk commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2025):

@tjbck I found following your commit add google-generativeai package:

c8631660c7

But actually, there are no code modification and no reason why added google-generativeai package.
Can we simply remove google-generativeai package to fix this?

I also can't find any google.generativeai dependency in all of open-webui projects:
https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopen-webui%20google.generativeai&type=code

new google.genai package is only used in google_manifold_pipeline.py
https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopen-webui+google.genai&type=code

In this case, I think we can safely delete google.generativeai dependency.

<!-- gh-comment-id:3693098344 --> @okamototk commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2025): @tjbck I found following your commit add google-generativeai package: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c8631660c7c998c58bca006c24c321a1c3f4419e But actually, there are no code modification and no reason why added google-generativeai package. Can we simply remove google-generativeai package to fix this? I also can't find any google.generativeai dependency in all of open-webui projects: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopen-webui%20google.generativeai&type=code new google.genai package is only used in [google_manifold_pipeline.py](https://github.com/open-webui/pipelines/blob/039f9c54f8e9f9bcbabde02c2c853e80d25c79e4/examples/pipelines/providers/google_manifold_pipeline.py#L18) https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopen-webui+google.genai&type=code In this case, I think we can safely delete google.generativeai dependency.
