Problem Description
Some newer or specialized OpenAI models are exclusively available via the /v1/responses endpoint. Attempts to use these models with the existing endpoints (such as /v1/chat/completions) result in the following error:
Currently, open-webui only supports the /v1/completions and /v1/chat/completions endpoints of the OpenAI API. Without support for /v1/responses, users cannot utilize the full range of OpenAI's latest models and features.
Desired Solution you'd like
Please add support for the /v1/responses API endpoint to ensure compatibility with all current and future OpenAI models. This enhancement will prevent the above error and allow users to leverage the complete capabilities of the OpenAI platform.

I have been working on a manifold that brings support for the responses API (as a stop gap until if/when it's supported natively). You can test and monitor progress here. Supports visible reasoning summaries, optimized tool calling, web search, and much more. Working on adding deep research as well.

PLEASE check for existing discussions/issues before creating one.
@perelin commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2025):
I have been running into the same issue with the deep-research models. @tjbck tbh: I did not find any discussion about this topic. Maybe I searched for the wrong terms?
404: This model is only supported in v1/responses and not in v1/chat/completionsis the error message that the UI shows, no discussion search results for it.@Oatu4396 commented on GitHub (Jul 23, 2025):
There's one discussion started around March suggesting adding support of responses API.

Just wanted to show my support for this too, I think it's pretty essential. @jrkropp good work on what you've done to support this so far, ive used it and works perfect. Thank you.
@wizard-leoliao commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2025):
Is this issue still unresolved? Almost all OpenAI API models except GPT‑5 are not working properly.
@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2025):
Responses API is not supported and probably will not be, because it is not an open standard like the OpenAI completions API.
It's like a proprietary endpoint like Anthropic or Gemini API.
Using one of the many pipes, pipelines or other implementations out there is recommended - alternatively, the use of a middleware like LiteLLM should also do the trick
@verynewtocode commented on GitHub (Nov 5, 2025):
in your opinion, what are the chances that v1/responses is ever available
