Author @antirez asserts that ds4-agent (posted 2026-06-14) is basically SOTA for AI to perform real‑world web searches because it controls your local Chrome browser (not headless) to bypass common access limitations, and pairs well with DeepSeek v4 for strong search results; a video demonstration accompanies the claim.
On 2026-06-14, @antirez claimed ds4-agent is essentially state-of-the-art for AI-driven real‑world web search because it drives the user's local Chrome browser (explicitly not in headless mode) to access websites without the usual limitations.
If you need AI to do a search for you in the real world, ds4-agent is basically SOTA, because it can access the web sites without any limitations given that it uses your local Chrome browser (no, not in headless mode, that's the trick...), and DeepSeek v4 is great at search.
