How It Works?

System get user input question in FreeAskInternet UI interface( running locally), and call searxng (running locally) to make search on multi search engine.
crawl search result links content and pass to ChatGPT3.5 / Kimi / Qwen / ZhipuAI / ollama (by using custom llm), ask LLM to answer user question based on this contents as references.
Stream the answer to Chat UI.
We support custom LLM setting, so theoretically infinite llm support.

Status

This project is still in its very early days. Expect some bugs.

How to get and set Kimi / Qwen / ZhipuAI Token?

How to get Token?

We are using https://github.com/LLM-Red-Team projects to provide those service, you can reference to their readme.

setting token

How to using custom LLM like ollama? (Yes we love ollama)

start ollama serve

export OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0
ollama serve

set ollama url in setting: You MUST using your computer's ip address, not localhost/127.0.0.1, because in docker you can't access this address. The model name is the model you want to serve by ollama.
