Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.6.36

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

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,
  • 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 the TASK_MODEL or TASK_MODEL_EXTERNAL is configured in Interface Settings, the title generation function should use these configured models as a model for title creation.

Actual Behavior

The system returns a "Model not found" error when attempting to generate a title, even when TASK_MODEL and TASK_MODEL_EXTERNAL is properly set.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure a model for TASK_MODEL and TASK_MODEL_EXTERNAL in Interface Settings.
  2. Delete the model currently associated with a chat session.
  3. Verify the chat interface shows "Select a Model" (indicating the model is missing).
  4. Click the title generation button in the left sidebar.
  5. Observe the "Model not found" error instead of successful title generation.

Additional Information

The issue likely occurs in open-webui/backend/open_webui/routers/tasks.py within the generate_title function. The current implementation checks only the available models list but doesn't fall back to the configured TASK_MODEL or TASK_MODEL_EXTERNAL values, so When the original model is missing, it triggers an exception. This may relate to #18896

Unable to reproduce, are your task models public models?
