Changelog Entry

Description

In the current implementation, the keep_alive parameter is included inside the options object. As a result, the final payload sent to the Ollama API is missing a top-level keep_alive field, which does not meet the API requirements.

Added

[List any new features, functionalities, or additions]

Changed

backend/open-webui/utils/payload.py
backend/open_webui/routers/ollama.py

Deprecated

[List any deprecated functionality or features that have been removed]

Removed

[List any removed features, files, or functionalities]

Fixed

Modify the apply_model_params_to_body_ollama function: In this function, extract keep_alive from options and add it as a top-level field to the payload.
Modify the convert_payload_openai_to_ollama function: In this function, if keep_alive exists in openai_payload, extract it and add it as a top-level field to ollama_payload.

Security

[List any new or updated security-related changes, including vulnerability fixes]

Breaking Changes

BREAKING CHANGE: [List any breaking changes affecting compatibility or functionality]

Additional Information

for a temporary fix, you can modify the backend/open_webui/routers/ollama.py.
Add: payload["keep_alive"] = -1 # keep alive forever
