Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:v0.6.22@sha256:6c8e6aa1d7fa3e71ea0d01f1b52a63757ca837ab6268c52c7db55d9981b0f363

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.11.4

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

Browser (if applicable)

Firefox

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

Selecting gpt5 on a new chat - throws Object-Object error on the chat., Gpt4 and older work as expected

Actual Behavior

Gpt5 seems not to work?

Steps to Reproduce

The installation is a vanilla docker-compose one, on portainer. OpenWebui works as expected with previous OpenAI models, the new GPT5 does not.
