โœจ MindSearch: Mimicking Human Minds Elicits Deep AI Searcher

MindSearch is an open-source AI Search Engine Framework with Perplexity.ai Pro performance. You can simply deploy it with your own perplexity.ai style search engine with either close-source LLMs (GPT, Claude) or open-source LLMs (InternLM2.5-7b-chat). It owns following features:

  • ๐Ÿค” Ask everything you want to know: MindSearch is designed to solve any question in your life and use web knowledge.
  • ๐Ÿ“š In-depth Knowledge Discovery: MindSearch browses hundreds of web pages to answer your question, providing deeper and wider knowledge base answer.
  • ๐Ÿ” Detailed Solution Path: MindSearch exposes all details, allowing users to check everything they want. This greatly improves the credibility of its final response as well as usability.
  • ๐Ÿ’ป Optimized UI Experimence: Providing all kinds of interfaces for users, including React, Gradio, Streamlit and Terminal. Choose any type based on your need.
  • ๐Ÿง  Dynamic Graph Construction Process: MindSearch decomposes the user query into atomic sub-questions as nodes in the graph and progressively extends the graph based on the search result from WebSearcher.

โšก๏ธ MindSearch vs other AI Search Engines

Comparison on human preference based on depth, breadth, factuality of the response generated by ChatGPT-Web, Perplexity.ai (Pro), and MindSearch. Results are obtained on 100 human-crafted real-world questions and evaluated by 5 human experts*.

* All experiments are done before July.7 2024.
