Pull Request Checklist

Before submitting, make sure you've checked the following:

  • Target branch: Verify that the pull request targets the dev branch. PRs targeting main will be immediately closed.
  • Description: Provide a concise description of the changes made in this pull request down below.
  • Changelog: Ensure a changelog entry following the format of Keep a Changelog is added at the bottom of the PR description.
  • Documentation: Add docs in Open WebUI Docs Repository. Document user-facing behavior, environment variables, public APIs/interfaces, or deployment steps. (N/A: internal backend optimization only; no user-facing API or env changes.)
  • Dependencies: Are there any new or upgraded dependencies? If so, explain why, update the changelog/docs, and include any compatibility notes. Actually run the code/function that uses updated library to ensure it doesn't crash. (None.)
  • Testing: Perform manual tests to verify the implemented fix/feature works as intended AND does not break any other functionality. Include reproducible steps to demonstrate the issue before the fix. Test edge cases (URL encoding, HTML entities, types). Take this as an opportunity to make screenshots of the feature/fix and include them in the PR description. (Automated unit tests added; recommend quick manual smoke: load app, model list, actions/filters still work.)
  • Agentic AI Code: Confirm this Pull Request is not written by any AI Agent or has at least gone through additional human review AND manual testing. If any AI Agent is the co-author of this PR, it may lead to immediate closure of the PR.
  • Code review: Have you performed a self-review of your code, addressing any coding standard issues and ensuring adherence to the project's coding standards?
  • Design & Architecture: Prefer smart defaults over adding new settings; use local state for ephemeral UI logic. Open a Discussion for major architectural or UX changes. (Optional function= argument; defaults preserve existing behavior.)
  • Git Hygiene: Keep PRs atomic (one logical change). Clean up commits and rebase on dev to ensure no unrelated commits (e.g. from main) are included. Push updates to the existing PR branch instead of closing and reopening.
  • Title Prefix: To clearly categorize this pull request, prefix the pull request title using one of the following:

Changelog Entry

Description

  • When building the model list, Open WebUI batch-loads function rows with get_functions_by_ids, then warms the function module cache by calling get_function_module_from_cache once per function ID. Previously, each of those calls issued another get_function_by_id (primary-key SELECT) even though the row was already loaded. This change allows callers to pass the preloaded FunctionModel so the warmup path avoids redundant per-ID database round-trips. Behavior for callers that omit the new argument is unchanged.

Changed

  • get_function_module_from_cache(..., function: Optional[FunctionModel] = None): when function is provided with load_from_db=True, use the row’s content and skip Functions.get_function_by_id.
  • get_all_models warmup loop: pass function=function_row from functions_by_id into get_function_module_from_cache; comment updated to describe batch row reuse.

Additional Information

  • Motivation: Traces on GET /api/models showed many short, sequential PostgreSQL lookups on function by primary key after an IN (...) batch load. Removing the duplicate reads reduces latency and connection-pool pressure when multiple actions/filters are referenced.
  • Semantics: The preloaded row is the same snapshot as the batch query in that request. Call sites that do not pass function= still re-fetch from the DB as before.
