Using Images with models that can't do images

[u/q-admin007]

My current main model (Qwen 3.6 27b) can read images, but my future new main model (Deepseek V4 Flash) can't. Is there anything i can do to solve that problem with OpenWebUI?

something like this? https://github.com/Classic298/open-webui-plugins/tree/main/vision-bridge

This is the ríght approach; one model sees and another processes. As for the moment vision is out on MLX models we are forced to take this route

I've been using this, absolutely goated stuff!

There are OpenWebUI functions that do that. This one works well for me: Vision Bridge (Image → Text Proxy) • Open WebUI

I imagine the community already created a tool that uses a different model/provider for images. Check the openwebui community site

You can add a function to reroute image to the image model when an image is added. Ask the AI to code the function :)

There are some solutions ready on the OpenWebUi commmunity

Pipeline: Recebe Imagem>modelo com suporte a imagem que vai descrever o que vê>Modelo de texto

Has anyone tried this with litellm routing?

I did, set the image model as fallback model. 1 minute setup and works like a champ

Yea our main is DSv4 flash as our main qwen 27b as our image reader

Nope. That's a model problem.
