From ec48c482e20d68b204d276b46a493af80f0f230b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nesquena-hermes Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:46:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(config):=20default=20model=20empty=20string?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20no=20unavailable=20OpenAI=20model=20for=20non-Op?= =?UTF-8?q?enAI=20users=20=E2=80=94=20closes=20#646=20(PR=20#649)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit DEFAULT_MODEL now defaults to "" instead of "openai/gpt-5.4-mini". Guards added in model-list builder so empty default does not create blank model entries. Adds 3 tests in test_issue646.py.

Previously Gemma 4's reasoning output appeared as raw text prepended to the answer. (Closes #607) +## [v0.50.79] — 2026-04-17 + +### Fixed +- **Default model no longer shows as "(unavailable)" for non-OpenAI users** — changed the hardcoded fallback `DEFAULT_MODEL` from `openai/gpt-5.4-mini` to `""` (empty). When no default model is configured, the WebUI now defers to the active provider's own default instead of pre-selecting an OpenAI model that most providers don't have. Users who want a specific default can still set `HERMES_WEBUI_DEFAULT_MODEL` env var or pick a model in Preferences.
