What's Good
Apache-2.0 (assafelovic/gpt-researcher), release v3.7.0 (2026-09-26). Works with many LLM providers and search backends, and runs as a Python library, a CLI or a web app. Highly customizable for domain-specific research agents. ★~30.2k.
The Catch
Each report makes many LLM and search calls, so costs add up with paid APIs. Report quality depends heavily on your model and search provider. Check citations before you trust a report.
Verdict
The most established open alternative to hosted deep-research tools.
