Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/5247

Not here to criticize, all but last; however, I still am unable to search the internet (with default installed LLaVA LLama3 8B). Was not able 3 years ago, and am not able today after all the recent updates.

@agent what are the latest news?

I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I do not have access to real-time information or the ability to browse the internet. My knowledge is based on the data that was available up until my training cutoff date of 2021. If you need information on a specific topic beyond my current knowledge, I recommend consulting other sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

What am I missing here? Am I using the wrong model?

Thank you all for all the efforts, and energy, to make this excellent program and the last, free of charge!!

By default in ALLM v1.11.2, the agent tool to search the web is off. Here's how to set it up.

  1. Go to system Settings, Agent Skills.
  2. Turn on "Web Search". on the right choose a Web Search provider.
  3. At this point you may also want to turn on Scrape Websites and some other tools.
  4. Click Save in the upper right.
  5. Go back to your workspace and do "@agent search the web to find blah blah blah".

You can also set up these tools at the workspace level under workspace settings.

Someone correct me or provide details so I can learn. :)

This is likely a very bad prompt for asking the model to do anything especially with a model as old as LLaVA LLama3 8B - which is so old and cannot even use tool-calling to get better answers.

I would recommend first to enable the web search tool, then use a model that is not so old and supports native tool calling like Qwen3 VL 4B
