What is this?
An open source AI research agent: a terminal app that searches papers, runs literature reviews and deep-research workflows, and links every claim back to its sources.

It runs as an interactive terminal REPL where you type requests or slash commands, and feynman serve launches a local science workbench with project/session navigation, notebooks and in-app chat.

No fixed key: point it at local LM Studio, Ollama, LiteLLM or vLLM, or run feynman model login for hosted providers.

Workflow prompts invoke them when a task benefits from decomposition.
