Running Vane: A Self-Hosted AI Search Engine with Local Inference

Vane represents a paradigm shift in AI search: it combines retrieval-augmented generation with local or self-hosted LLMs, giving users control over inference and data while eliminating hallucinations through citations. As enterprises increasingly demand privacy-compliant, infrastructure-independent AI tools, Vane's flexibility to run on Ollama, llama.cpp, or cloud providers makes it a practical alternative to centralized AI search services.
