[Enhancement]: Images not rendered in the chat

[mansiibm]

What features would you like to see added?

Thank you for the amazing features in LibreChat!

We would like to request the ability to display images directly within the chat interface. For example-

If I inspect the image then I see the empty text for the image tag

And from the api I am using the image url which it is trying to fetch looks like-

If I pass this URL to the image tag then the image gets rendered

Earlier when the tag is empty for the image then image is not rendered as expected but then if the url is provided then the image is rendered.

The question is why the image tag is being sent empty, and can it be fixed? because of this the image is not being rendered.

Specification-

1. Latest dev-Api image
2. AI providers- OpenAI, Claude and google
3. Models used - 4.1,4o gemini-2-5-flash and Claude- opus-4, sonnet-4
4. External tool- BentoML/ComfyService

Thankyou!!
