What you can build with Vane
Vane is an open-source AI-powered answering engine that runs entirely on infrastructure you control. It pairs a SearXNG-based metasearch backend with your choice of large language model — local Ollama models or cloud providers like OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Groq — to synthesize accurate answers backed by cited web sources.
Self-hosting Vane keeps every search query and document upload on your VPS. There is no third-party query logging, no per-seat subscription, and no opaque ranking — you pick the search sources, the model, and the level of privacy that fits the way you research.
Key features of Vane
Cited AI answers
Every response links back to the underlying sources, letting you verify claims and dive deeper without blindly trusting generated content.
Local and cloud LLMs
Run open-source models locally through Ollama, or connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Groq from the same web interface.
Bundled SearXNG
Ships with a SearXNG metasearch instance so queries are aggregated across many engines without exposing them to commercial trackers.
Speed and quality modes
Switch between Speed, Balanced, and Quality modes to trade response time for deeper, multi-step research on harder questions.
File uploads and discover
Upload PDFs, text files, and images to ask questions about your own documents, or browse the Discover feed for trending content.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
