I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Git Clone
Open WebUI Version
v0.8.12
Ollama Version (if applicable)

Browser (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 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
It should render the citations from Perplexity Sonar, just like /v1/chat/completions
Actual Behavior
No citation shows
Steps to Reproduce
Run Open WebUI
Connect OpenRouter
In the connection, use Responses API instead of Chat Completions
Use Perplexity Sonar model
Ask for "Why the sky is blue"
Citation only shows as [1][2][3] instead of real links.

I am having the same problem, also after updating to 0.9.2 or 0.9.5 with regard to showing citations (sources) from a pipeline I created and uploaded manually. In version 0.8.12 it worked without problems showing the citations (sources) correctly.
was there a change as to how citations are processed by OWUI?
