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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.
Expected Behavior
When I click a custom model in the models tab of workspace, it should start a chat with that custom model
Actual Behavior
Often it starts a chat with a (seemingly random) foundation model rather than my custom model.
Steps to Reproduce
Click "Workspace" in the left sidebar.
Create the "Models" tab.
Click the + and create a custom model
Click the newly created custom model
In the past, this has started a chat with that custom model, but suddenly this changed and now it takes me to some other random model that I have configured.

BTW, I have Python and TypeScript skills, so if someone can give me a rough idea of how things are supposed to work and/or where the problem could be, I can take a look and try to diagnose and fix.
