For those unfamiliar, Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface, which you can use with local models with Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.

Also note there was a recent license change, which is why I didn't say 'Open source'. You can make your own judgements about that here:

https://docs.openwebui.com/license/

See the link in the post for all the changes, there were too many to list and lots of quality of life improvements from what I can tell.

Urgh I didn't know about the license change, that's a bummer. How come every project with 'Open' in it's name goes a similar route and becomes not open?

Now it's freeware with available source, but you can't build anything on top of it.

Because they realize they have enough user base to not slum it for free anymore. A lot of projects are fine just getting the notoriety and consultation dollars, but some people are just looking to build things and flip it for money later. It ebbs and flows over time in either direction. I'd say right now most projects are on the "we're for sale" side of things.

An AI project that's ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain't so!
