Conducting deep web searches and gathering sources is one of the main things I've been using LLMs for. How far away are we from being able to self-host something like Claude's web search capabilities? Or even just a service where I'd pay with my money instead of my data?

Perplexica now called Vane is an open source version of perplexity. It lets you search the web with an llm that cites sources for its claims and can be selfhosted https://github.com/BunsDev/perplexica-search-engine-ai
