Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
AI answers grounded in 300M+ scholarly full texts
Ask a research question and get an answer assembled from the scientific literature, with every claim linked to its originating paper and sentence.
Search more than 300 million articles, preprints, books, patents and datasets using full text rather than abstracts alone.
See at a glance whether later work supported, contrasted with, or mentioned a paper, claim, author, journal or institution.
Run Scite inside ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants, or tap citation data through the Zotero plugin and browser extension.
