Having recently wiped and reset my workstation, I found myself following my own guide for “Setting Up a Local Chat AI with Ollama and Open Web UI” and ran into a little hick up because the UI for Open Web UI appears to have been updated. Probably a good thing overall, but they moved some of the settings I used to configure things in my post and I has a devil of a time finding their new home, so I though I would give a quick update.
Specifically, the location in settings to add new models has changed. To add a new model in the latest version of Open Web UI open Admin Panel by clicking your username in the sidebar (on the bottom left) and selecting Admin Panel.
Then select “Settings” and then “Connections” in the main UI.
Then click the wrench Icon next to your Ollama API Connection
That should bring up the “Manage Ollama” dialog
From here you proceed the same as before and enter the name of a model you wish to install and click the download button to get the process running.
