Check Existing Issues

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

With Ollama 14.3 it will be able to generate Images via API call. This is a quote of the Changelog of the Pre-Release of 14.3:
"* The /api/generate API can now be used for image generation"

For my understanding this is extending the Ollama API and is NOT compatible with the current Image Generation Connectors (Open AI, Automatic1111, ComfyUI or Gemini)

Desired Solution you'd like

Open WebUI should probably get another Connection type in Image Generation that is Ollama - similar how Ollama is a Connection type already on the normal connections.

Alternatives Considered

MAYBE Ollama will not need to be connected like an typical Image Generation API but jsut how it currently is with the Connections. But then Open WebUI probably needs bigger changes to handle the new logic?

Additional Context
