Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated with the default title generation prompt because many models ignore its 3-5 word limit or prepend titles with unnecessary text like "Here is a 3-5 word concise title: [title]". Some language models will also include markdown in the generated title, or create a title that does not fit the content entirely.

Describe the solution you'd like
To improve QoL, Open WebUI should adopt a stronger prompt that accurately guides language models. Based on my testing across three models (Gemma, LLaMA, and Solar), I've found a revised prompt that works well. I recommend using it as a starting point to strengthen the default prompt.

Create a concise, 3-5 word phrase as a title for the content below. Never exceed the 3-5 word limitation. You must only respond with the title. Do not respond with more than the title. Do not wrap the title around quotation marks.

Content: {{prompt}}

Additional context
