Questions about alternatives to Deep Research Max
What is the best open source alternative to Deep Research Max?
By GitHub stars it is MiroThinker, with 8,452 stars and a commit on 6 Jul. Choose MiroThinker when you want open research agent models that handle hundreds of tool calls on your own hardware. Next come Atria Dawn Preview (641 stars).
Is there a free alternative to Deep Research Max?
Yes. The code of all 2 is public under Apache 2.0 or MIT, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.
How do I choose between them?
Start from the job you use Deep Research Max for. Choose Atria Dawn Preview when long research runs must stay on your own hardware instead of going through the Gemini API.
Which Deep Research Max alternatives can I host on my own server?
All 2: MiroThinker and Atria Dawn Preview. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.
Which ones are still being worked on?
1 of the 2 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Atria Dawn Preview. The quietest is MiroThinker, last changed on 6 Jul. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.
What licences do they use?
Apache 2.0 (1), MIT (1). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely.
What do I lose by leaving Deep Research Max?
The hosting. Deep Research Max's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
