Firecrawl + Ollama Integration Guide

Configure self-hosted Firecrawl to use local Ollama for LLM-based extraction instead of OpenAI API.

Prerequisites

Self-hosted Firecrawl instance
Ollama installed (via snap or native)
A small, fast model suitable for your hardware

I wrote an in-depth research prompt to conduct a GPT-Deep-Research on the Manus topic, seeking to replicate it with currently available open source tools. This is the result:

TLDR: Manus AI Agent Report

Manus is an autonomous AI agent built as a wrapper around foundation models (primarily Claude 3.5/3.7 and Alibaba's Qwen). It operates in a cloud-based virtual computing environment with full access to tools like web browsers, shell commands, and code execution. The system's key innovation is using executable Python code as its action mechanism ("CodeAct" approach), allowing it to perform complex operations autonomously. The architecture consists of an iterative agent loop (analyze → plan → execute → observe), with specialized modules for planning, knowledge retrieval, and memory management. Manus uses file-based memory to track progress and store information across operations. The system can be replicated using open-source components including CodeActAgent (a fine-tuned Mistral model), Docker for sandbox

	# The model was trained with input lengths not exceeding 512 tokens, therefore translating longer sequences might result in quality degradation.
