Open WebUI

Open WebUI should use the same /v1 path as the OpenAI SDKs.

Treat CorvusLLM as an OpenAI-compatible backend inside Open WebUI. Start with one clean slug and confirm the connection before you switch models.

Install Open WebUI first

For a local Open WebUI test, install Docker Desktop, start the official Open WebUI container, open the UI on localhost, and then add CorvusLLM as an OpenAI-compatible connection.

Zero-to-working setup

Use this block when you want the shortest reliable path from a clean install to one successful Open WebUI request through CorvusLLM.

Configure

Open Open WebUI, then use Admin Panel > Settings > Connections and add or edit an OpenAI-compatible connection.

  • Open Admin Panel > Settings > Connections
  • Add or edit an OpenAI-compatible connection
  • Paste https://base.corvusllm.com/v1 and your CorvusLLM key
3
Verify
  • Refresh or cache the base model list if your build requires it
  • Start a chat with gpt-5.5 and send Say open-webui-ok

A new Open WebUI chat with gpt-5.5 returns the short test answer through the saved connection.

ValuePaste this
Connection type OpenAI-compatible or custom OpenAI
Base URL https://base.corvusllm.com/v1

Do not paste /chat/completions into Open WebUI base URL fields. Use only the /v1 base URL.

Connection values

Open Open WebUI in your browser, then go to Admin Panel, Settings, and Connections. Add or edit an OpenAI-compatible connection and paste these values.

If your Open WebUI version uses different labels

Look for the OpenAI-compatible provider or connection screen. The important parts are the /v1 base URL, your CorvusLLM key, and a supported model slug.

If the model picker becomes slow or crowded

Enable Settings > Connections > Cache Base Model List and keep only the model slugs you actually use in the Open WebUI model list.

Connection test

After saving the OpenAI-compatible connection, start a new chat with the starter slug and send a short message such as Say open-webui-ok. This confirms that Open WebUI is using the CorvusLLM key, the /v1 base URL, and a valid public model slug.

  • If the model list does not appear, refresh the connection or paste the model slug manually.
  • If the chat returns an auth error, recopy the key from the dashboard.
  • If a single model fails, try another public slug and check service status.

After it connects

After the first successful chat, you can switch to other supported slugs from Models & Slugs, including Claude and GLM families through the same OpenAI-compatible path. Treat the live catalog as the source of truth for any additional families.

This block follows the current public catalog, so new models and reordered families can surface here automatically after you save them.
