- open-models.md: Qwen2.5-VL 'best open vision model' superseded by Qwen3-VL (Apache 2.0 dense sizes; repo QwenLM/Qwen3-VL, arXiv 2511.21631, verified via web search); decision table + mermaid + citations updated - chezmoi-evaluation.md: fleet facts were fabricated — servers run Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (probed via ssh, both boxes), not 'Arch/FreeToken' (distro does not exist); dev workstation is AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U, not Intel Ultra 7; frank-default-* endpoints retired 2026-10-18 - agentic-web-research/index.md: pi-era topology blurb replaced with current fleet endpoints - self-hosted-web-agents.md: sample model frank-default-small -> frank-archon (endpoint/IP already correct: dankserver) - mcp.md reference-server table verified against upstream modelcontextprotocol/servers README (exact match, no change) - 'peer-reviewed BrowseComp' claim from scout ledger: does not exist in any file — rejected, not applied Refs #29

# Agentic Web Research
|
|
|
|
Agentic web research means that an AI drives the search loop. The agent formulates queries, reads results, decides what to read next, and writes a synthesis. It works best when search, extraction, and reasoning each run in the right place.

This section connects four decisions:
|
|
|
|
1. **Search backend** — make a self-hosted [SearXNG](searxng-tuning.md) instance fast and private.
|
|
2. **Network path** — send only SearXNG traffic through a [VPN](vpn-routing.md) and leave the rest alone.
|
|
3. **Agent loop** — apply [agentic search best practices](agentic-search-best-practices.md) and [research effectiveness](research-effectiveness.md) so the loop ends, not spins.
|
|
4. **Model choice** — pick a self-hostable [open model](open-models.md) strong enough for tool use and [web agents](self-hosted-web-agents.md).
