Open WebUI: Tools and Functions bring ChatGPT Enterprise to self-hosting
In one sentence Open WebUI introduces local function calling and injectable Python plugins, bringing ChatGPT Enterprise capabilities to fully self-hosted deployments.
Reading level
Open WebUI is a self-hosted web interface for local models, similar to ChatGPT but running on your own server. This update introduces two major features: Tools, which allow the model to call functions (like searching the web or reading files), and Functions, which are Python plugins that anyone can write and install. These capabilities bring a local chat interface much closer to ChatGPT Enterprise — without sending data outside your control.
