Project Overview

Farfalle is an open-source AI-powered search engine designed to function similarly to Perplexity. It allows users to run local language models (LLMs) such as llama3, gemma, and mistral or use cloud models like Groq/Llama3 and OpenAI/gpt4-o. The project is hosted on GitHub under the repository rashadphz/farfalle and is maintained by Rashad, who is also active on Twitter. The project is currently in an active development phase, with frequent updates and improvements being made. It has garnered significant interest with 809 stars and 65 forks. The roadmap indicates ongoing efforts to integrate with LiteLLM and add support for searxng to eliminate external dependencies.
