Open WebUI is a self-hosted web interface for large language models. It talks to OpenAI-compatible backends, so you can point it to the ScitiX Model Inference API and chat with ScitiX models from a browser. The steps below use Open WebUI v0.11.0. Newer versions may differ slightly. For available models, such as glm-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash, and pricing, see the model catalog.

​
Configure

Create an API Key on the API Keys page, then set two environment variables before starting the server:
An export only lasts for the current shell session. Add the two lines to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to make them permanent.
Open the printed URL, such as http://localhost:8080, and create the first account. The first account becomes the administrator. With the two variables set, Open WebUI reads the model list from the ScitiX endpoint automatically. No per-model setup is needed. Additional connections and per-model options live in Admin Settings → Connections. Choose a model with native tool calling if you rely on Open WebUI’s tool/function features.

Verify

Pick a ScitiX model from the model selector at the top of the chat and send a message. A normal reply confirms that the connection works.

FAQ

  • If the model picker is empty, confirm that the two variables were exported in the shell that launched open-webui serve, and that GET https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1/models returns a list with your key.
