Gabriel’s notes
Ollama Deep Researcher is a fully local web research assistant that uses any LLM hosted by Ollama. Give it a topic and it will generate a web search query, gather web search results (via Tavily by default), summarize the results of web search, reflect on the summary to examine knowledge gaps, generate a new search query to address the gaps, search, and improve the summary for a user-defined number of cycles. It will provide the user a final markdown summary with all sources used.
Good fit if you want to:
- go deeper on technical details, benchmarks, or model/system behavior.
