For those unfamiliar, Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface, which you can use with local models with Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.

Also note there was a recent license change, which is why I didn't say 'Open source'. You can make your own judgements about that here:

https://docs.openwebui.com/license/

See the link in the post for all the changes, there were too many to list and lots of quality of life improvements from what I can tell.

How is this simple summary missing from the project page itself? Was that so hard?

Because that's a release page. The first paragraph in the readme tells you what open webui is.
