Summary

Ollama has launched a new web search API that enhances its models, such as OpenAI's gpt-oss, by incorporating the latest web information to improve accuracy and reduce hallucinations. Available as a REST API, it offers a free tier for individuals and higher rate limits through its cloud service. The API integrates with Ollama's Python and JavaScript libraries, enabling long-term research tasks and the creation of mini search agents. Users can initiate the API by generating an API key and making requests via cURL, Python, or JavaScript. Additionally, the platform supports fetching individual pages through a separate web fetch API, and it integrates with various systems like MCP Server, Cline, Codex, and Goose, extending its usability across different applications.
