In Farfalle – Open-source AI-powered search engineShow HN: I built an open-source answer engine that runs local LLMs
hey hn,
I built an open-source Perplexity clone that can run local LLMs and cloud LLMs.
It's fully self-hostable through Docker and uses ollama to support local LLMs.
The demo video in the repository shows me running it locally with llama3 on my M1 Macbook Pro.
I'm open to any suggestions or feedback, thanks!
5 points · Open discussionHey all! I built an open-source AI-powered answer engine called Farfalle. It’s a self-hostable alternative to Perplexity.
Check out a live demo here: https://www.farfalle.dev/.
The code is fully open-source on Github (https://github.com/rashadphz/farfalle/)
The repository includes instructions on how to run the project locally, along with one-click deploy buttons for Vercel and Render.
I'd appreciate any feedback!
