Problem Description
Currently ANY OpenAPI compatible connection is marked as external, being that other local LLM providers (like mlx_lm) provide a compatible endpoint but still are local. Currently by default all models via OpenAPI connection shows are external
Desired Solution you'd like
There should be a way to still show this models as local and not only as external

There should be an override option, and not be dependent on whether it is in the same local network
For example, the VLLM server can be hosted at
https://vllm.intern.mycompanyproduction.com/v1/chat/completions
While OWU can be hosted at:
https://chat.mycompany.com/
