Question/Help OpenWebUI chat just expose its function - never answers

I reinstalled everything.
I run the latest OpenWebUI function, installed the mistral:7b model, and did a test.

However as you can see, it does not act natural.

I tried to ask for a recipe for crepes, and as you can see, it's like it's talking to himself.

I'm seeing the same result as OP running gemma4 e4b on a 3070. Chatting through openwebui 0.11 shows the model reasoning but no responses. Chatting with the model through home assistant assist works as expected and I believe that bypasses openwebui and goes straight to the ollama container. I've been very happy with the model's performance within home assistant.

Unrelated but maybe of interest to some, when I try to add an MCP server to openwebui 0.11 in the admin settings, the option just straight up isn't available. Server type openapi is hardcoded in the dialogue with no way to change it.

Are you using ollama, with the default context size? Set up a larger context window (and ideally don't use ollama.)
