Models

The Models section of the Workspace within Open WebUI is a powerful tool that allows you to create and manage custom models tailored to specific purposes. This section serves as a central hub for all your modelfiles, providing a range of features to edit, clone, share, export, and hide your models.

Modelfile Management​

From the Models section, you can perform the following actions on your modelfiles:

  • Edit: Dive into the details of your modelfile and make changes to its character and more.
  • Clone: Create a copy of a modelfile, which will be appended with -clone to the cloned Model ID. Note that you cannot clone a base model; you must create a model first before cloning it.
  • Share: Share your modelfile with the Open WebUI community by clicking the Share button, which will redirect you to https://openwebui.com/models/create.
  • Export: Download the modelfile's .json export to your PC.
  • Hide: Hide the modelfile from the model selector dropdown within chats.

Modelfile Editing​

When editing a modelfile, you can customize the following settings:

  • Avatar Photo: Upload an avatar photo to represent your modelfile.
  • Model Name: Change the name of your modelfile.
  • System Prompt: Provide an optional system prompt for your modelfile.
  • Model Parameters: Adjust the parameters of your modelfile.
  • Prompt Suggestions: Add prompts that will be displayed on a fresh new chat page.
  • Documents: Add documents to the modelfile (always RAG [Retrieval Augmented Generation]).
  • Tools, Filters, and Actions: Select the tools, filters, and actions that will be available to the modelfile.
  • Vision: Toggle to enable Vision for multi-modals.
  • Tags: Add tags to the modelfile that will be displayed beside the model name in the model selector dropdown.
