Environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
OPENAI_BASE_URLOptional | Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Default: OpenAI cloud. Use http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama. |
OPENAI_API_KEYOptional, secret | API key for the endpoint above. Use 'ollama' as a sentinel value when running locally against Ollama. |
MODEL_SYNTHESIZEROptional | Model identifier used for the synthesize node. Defaults to 'gpt-5-mini'; set to 'gemma3:4b' for Mac-local Ollama. |
MODEL_PLANNEROptional | Model for the plan / classify / critic / compress / verify nodes. Defaults to 'gpt-5-nano'. |
EMBED_MODELOptional | Embedding model identifier (for retrieval + memory). Default 'text-embedding-3-small'; use 'nomic-embed-text' on Ollama. |
SEARXNG_URLOptional | Base URL of the SearXNG meta-search instance. Default http://localhost:8888. |
LOCAL_CORPUS_PATHOptional | Path to an index directory built via scripts/index_corpus.py. When set, local corpus hits augment web search. |
ENABLE_RERANKOptional | Set to '1' to enable the BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 cross-encoder rerank stage. First run downloads ~560MB. |
ENABLE_FETCHOptional | Set to '0' to skip the trafilatura full-page fetch stage. Default '1'. |
