# Open WebUI: sourced findings

> Published by onAI. onAI also sells one of the products compared here. Findings about other products link to public sources so you can check them; statements about onAI are marked as stated by onAI.

Open WebUI has sourced findings for 47 of 51 criteria, including 47 that a second agent cross-checked. "Sourced" findings passed publication validation: they are scoped, fresh and cite public resolved sources. "Agent cross-checked" findings also received a separate agent source pass, not necessarily a hands-on test. "Stated by onAI" marks the publisher's own statements about its product (evidence type vendor-statement), which cite no third-party source. Humans approve the rubric, templates and generator; they do not review every finding. It does not declare a winner. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent.

## Models

### MOD-01: Model catalogue and providers

Judgment rule: List each available model by provider and plan, including reasoning, fast and multimodal variants. Record whether the user picks the model, the product routes automatically, or both. A provider counts only if at least one of its current models is selectable on the scoped plan.

#### Open WebUI

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked)
Support: partial

Customers connect local servers and cloud model endpoints and choose models in chat. The available catalog depends on their endpoints and credentials.

### MOD-02: Model freshness

Judgment rule: Measure the days from a provider's general release to availability in the product for the last three major releases from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google (and Mistral where offered). Use dated changelogs or observation. Record deprecation notice for retired models.

### MOD-03: Bring-your-own keys and provider contracts

Judgment rule: Record customer-held API keys, customer cloud accounts (Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Vertex), and aggregator routes (OpenRouter, LiteLLM) as separate routes. Record what still works without a vendor-provided model, whether prices change with BYO, and documented restrictions. API-key support does not imply support for the customer's own Azure contract.

#### Open WebUI

Support: partial

Customer-held keys, Azure deployments and compatible endpoints are documented. The standard software licence does not include provider usage.

Limitations:
- byo_restrictions: Compatibility and tools depend on the provider protocol and model. The sources do not promise identical functionality across all BYO endpoints.

### MOD-04: Local and self-hosted models

Judgment rule: Record support for models running in the customer's environment (vLLM, Ollama, TGI or similar) and which features work with them: chat, RAG, tools, embeddings. Distinguish a documented, supported route from a generic endpoint that happens to work.

#### Open WebUI

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked)
Support: partial

Ollama, llama.cpp and vLLM are documented local inference routes; local retrieval requires local embedding and extraction services.

Limitations:
- feature_parity: Local chat and RAG are possible. Tool reliability depends on model support, and online search, remote providers or cloud OCR require network access. No parity fixture was run.
- vendor_hosted_open_models: Does the vendor host open-weight models in EU/CH? No first-party commitment to vendor-operated open-weight inference in EU or Switzerland was established in the deployment and provider guides.

- self_hosted_embeddings — Can retrieval use customer-hosted embeddings? [supported]: Retrieval can use local embedding models; the offline guide requires these assets to be downloaded before disconnecting. Sources: open-webui:open-webui:rag, open-webui:open-webui:offline.

### MOD-05: Model control and usage limits

Judgment rule: Record admin allow-lists per group, default models, restrictions on which models may see which data, and per-user rate or fair-use limits. Test one restriction with two users in different groups. Record limits as enforced stops, warnings or undocumented fair use.

Limitations:
- data_bound_models: Knowledge attached to a model scopes its retrieval, while user/resource grants control access. This does not establish a hard policy binding each source to an allowed outbound provider.
- user_limits: What per-user message or token limits apply, and are they published? No configured quota or bounded two-user enforcement test was run; budget controls remain in progress on the public roadmap.
- limit_behaviour: What happens when a limit is reached? No configured quota or bounded two-user enforcement test was run; budget controls remain in progress on the public roadmap.

- model_allowlist_by_group — Can admins limit models per group? [supported]: Private model grants can be assigned to users and groups. Permissions accumulate, so a second group may grant access. Sources: open-webui:open-webui:groups.

- user_limits — What per-user message or token limits apply, and are they published? [partial]: An optional official Filter example implements configurable requests per user per minute. It is customer-installed code with process-local counters, not an enabled recurring message/token allowance or monetary budget. No configured deployment was tested. Sources: open-webui:open-webui:r4-rate-limit-example, open-webui:open-webui:r4-filter-implementation.
- limit_behaviour — What happens when a limit is reached?

Judgment rule: List each connector separately with plan, availability and setup owner: SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, Confluence, Jira, Notion, Box, Salesforce, ServiceNow, file shares. Record whether the vendor or a third party (or the customer via MCP) provides it, and whether it needs admin consent. A connector listed on a roadmap or partner page is `announced`.

### KNOW-05: Freshness and sync model

Judgment rule: Record live (federated) search versus a copied index, sync interval, deletion propagation, and where the index is stored. Edit and delete one fixture document and record when answers change. A copied index adds storage location to DATA-01.

Judgment rule: Record detection and handling of personal and confidential data before it reaches a model: redaction, masking, blocking, warning. Record integration with Purview, Netskope or similar, and whether filtering runs locally or at a third party. Send a fixture prompt with a Swiss AHV number and IBAN and record the outcome.

Record which features are missing in each mode, who operates it, and the documented seat or contract threshold for each mode, which can differ from the enterprise plan threshold (e.g. dedicated SaaS from 2,000 seats, own cloud from 5,000).

Limitations:
- The claim follows pinned component licence texts and excludes unverified Enterprise/Terminals feature-licensing assertions.

[supported]: Core LICENSE clause 4 restricts branding changes, with exceptions for no more than 50 natural-person users in a rolling 30 days, specific prior written permission, or an executed Enterprise licence expressly permitting changes. It does not impose a 50-user cap on branded use. This answer follows that pinned text, not the FAQ contribution qualifier. Sources: open-webui:open-webui:license-pin.
