Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.9.1

Operating System

Mageia Linux

Browser (if applicable)

Zen

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

When I click "Send" I expect it to send the request and get the response.

Actual Behavior

When I click send it

  • requests /v1/api/models
  • requests /v1/chat/completions
  • requests /v1/models
  • requests /v1/chat/completions
  • requests /v1/models
  • requests /v1/chat/completions

This is normally hidden to the user and will, in the worst case, incur extra cost due to requesting more tokens.

Steps to Reproduce

Pull Docker image.
Run Docker image.
podman run -d -p 8080:8080 -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:latest

Open site and chat.

You likely have tasks enabled in settings. These run after your completion is done to generate title, tags, follow up questions etc.. You can either turn them off or choose a lightweight model as your task model.

This is expected and intended behaviour, title generation, tag generation and so forth are separate requests

Thanks. It wasn't intuitive and somewhat poorly explained, but I found the settings and disabled them all as a test. This kind of degrades the functionality, so I'll experiment a bit more.

Another question. Why does it check for models all the time? Shouldn't it be using a cached list?
I see a request for models when I refresh the page, when I send a request or when I check the list of models to switch and when I continue a conversation.
These are, imho, unnecessary requests.

Why should it use a cached list?
Many people use Open Router or OpenAI directly and want to always have the latest version of the available models.
Models get removed, new ones get added, model IDs can change, and so forth

Edit: Or Ollama! Load in a new model, then it should show up immediately. Cached list would not be good here
