Enhancement: Set chosen AI model for new chats automatically to the new configured default model on client side

[omueller54]

What features would you like to see added?

After a new AI model is set in the config it would be very useful if the chosen model for new chats will be set automatically to the new default model on client side regardless of the last model chosen manually by the users.

More details

At the university I'm working for we recently updated our librechat instance from version 0.7.2 to 0.7.4-rc1 and set Open AI GPT-4o as the new default model for new chats in our config (we are using Open AI models only at the moment). Unfortunately most of the users from our librechat instance are still using the previous default model GPT-4 Turbo (what we can see in the user statistics of our Open AI account). Probably they choose this model manually before and it is still set as last manually chosen model in the local storage of the clients browsers. Especially with several hundred users or more for a librechat instance it would be much easier (if possible) to set the new configured default model automatically on client side for new chats instead of trying to get users to manually select the new model or delete their browsing history/local storage of their browser.
