Trouble generating conversation title with Azure OpenAI

[rendybjunior]

What features would you like to see added?

Automatically infer what the conversation / session title should be.
The issue is there would be a lot of untitled "New Chat" conversations where we don't know which one to go back to.

I have search issues using "auto name" and some variants but couldn't find anything similar

The issue seems to stem from some AI models being unable to summarize conversations. This could be due to two reasons: either the "summarize" parameter hasn't been enabled (set to "true"), or there's a formatting error when calling the summarization function. In my experience, Gemini fails to provide conversation titles, while the OpenAI model works correctly.

turns out it works on chat using OpenAI, but doesn't work for chats using Azure OpenAI, any reason for that?

titleConvo =true and summarize= true
In my case as well it doesn't show title of conversation. Can you please suggest any alternative method to handle this issue.

It works with azure, you need to set this in the librechat.yaml file:

endpoints:
  azureOpenAI:
    titleModel: "gpt-4o-mini"
    titleConvo: true

Version: LibreChat v0.7.9-rc1 -

endpoints:
  azureOpenAI:
    plugins: false
    titleModel: "gpt-4.1-mini"
    titleConvo: true
    titleMethod: "completion"

I'm not getting any titles saved with azure either. Is it this error about ... .parse is not a function?

I'm also facing this issue recently. After upgrading to 0.7.9, it works but only after a refresh of the chat (either Ctrl + F5, or by enetering another chat and then going back to the one with the "New chat" title). I'm using Azure OpenAI as well, model 4.1-mini.

@danny-avila I'm experiencing the same issue with Azure OpenAI. It was working fine with titleConvo: true (that was always set to true), but ever since I set "useResponsesApi: true" to true, the titleConvo feature stopped working. Could this be related?
