Confirmation

• I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
• I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
• I have included the browser console logs.
• I have included the Docker container logs.
• I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
• I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
• I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
• Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
• Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
• List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
• Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
• Include any files or environmental changes,
• Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
• Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Loading the base route ({yourowuihost.com/}) should load quickly and the necessary metadata for the models picker should just be ID, display name, link etc

Actual Behavior

An enormous payload (in my case, 4.3mb) is returned that includes the entire system prompt for all 350+ models, base64 encoded images for every single one etc.

Interestingly, we have gotten reports from users who aren't admins and can't see all models that their load times are even slower even though the payload is smaller. Potentially due to filtering before it responds?

Steps to Reproduce

Load your OWUI instance with 300 models configured
