LLM with Web Search functionality (lemmy.ml)

Conducting deep web searches and gathering sources is one of the main things I've been using LLMs for. How far away are we from being able to self-host something like Claude's web search capabilities? Or even just a service where I'd pay with my money instead of my data?

Yup. And if you want to take a small step without major hardware requirements: connect your setup to a paid subscription Mistral or Anthropic API. They allow you to switch off training on your data.

On top of that, the costs are way lower than the normal consumer grade chat subscriptions, and your searches + memory are kept locally (e.g., managed through open webui).
