Key Points

  • A user reports successfully integrating the “openui” project into “open-webui,” enabling richer UI elements within the web interface.
  • They state the setup works well with GPT-5.4-mini, delivering fast and responsive generation performance.
  • When testing open-source models such as Qwen3 30B and Gemma4 on a 24GB M4 laptop, they observed significantly slower generation speed.
  • The post invites others to ask for details on the implementation steps for reproducing the integration.
I tried adding rich UI elements to Open WebUI

so i tried adding openui to openwebui and it worked pretty well. used it with gpt-5.4-mini and it was super fast and responsive. I also tried using opensource models like qwen3:30b and gemma4 but the generation speed was slow (i ran them on my 24gb m4 laptop). let me know if you guys want to know more about how i did it!
