Hey, guys. Kinda new to local LLMs. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm also new to HF!

Which local LLMs can access the internet, or how can I have my local LLM(s) access the internet?

Thank you in advance and apologies if I'm breaking any rules!

LLMs don't have direct access to the internet because they work with the information they were trained on, which is usually a snapshot of data from before a certain date. However, it's possible to retrieve some information from the internet and put it into the context of the LLM. I invite you to look at how we do this in HuggingChat: https://github.com/huggingface/chat-ui/blob/main/src/lib/server/websearch/runWebSearch.ts
