    From the README

    Originated from Open Source, give back to Open Source.

    DeerFlow (Deep Exploration and Efficient Research Flow) is a community-driven Deep Research framework that builds upon the incredible work of the open source community. Our goal is to combine language models with specialized tools for tasks like web search, crawling, and Python code execution, while giving back to the community that made this possible.

    Currently, DeerFlow has officially entered the FaaS Application Center of Volcengine. Users can experience it online through the experience link to intuitively feel its powerful functions and convenient operations. At the same time, to meet the deployment needs of different users, DeerFlow supports one-click deployment based on Volcengine. Click the deployment link to quickly complete the deployment process and start an efficient research journey.

    Please visit our official website for more details.
