I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Pip Install
Open WebUI Version
v0.5.20
Ollama Version (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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.
Expected Behavior
I use Ollama as the backend, Open WebUI and Page Assist as the frontend of local LLM.
After a few days of use, I found that page assist has higher accuracy on RAG and web search. Despite using the same model, Open WebUI model often fabricates replies. I tried setting a prompt in the interface that is consistent with page assistance, but the model in Open WebUI still tend to fabricate content.
I feel that the current Open WebUI processing of reference is not conducive to the model giving accurate responses.
I really like the design of Open WebUI.
Actual Behavior
Fabricating answers with URL doesn't exist.
Steps to Reproduce
