Tongyi Deep Research is an open-source ai agents project by Alibaba-NLP (Alibaba-NLP/DeepResearch on GitHub). It has 20,022 GitHub stars and 1,532 forks, is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and was last updated on GitHub on 27 February 2026.
Collect the research questions you want to evaluate, in the JSONL format the repo expects.
Clone the repo and download the Tongyi-DeepResearch model weights from the Model Download section.
Create the conda environment, install requirements, and copy the example environment file.
Configure the inference script (model path, dataset, output) and run it.
A ReAct-style agent that plans, searches and synthesizes long-form research answers.
Tongyi-DeepResearch-30B-A3B weights are downloadable for local inference.
Supports tools such as retrieval, web search and a calculator, configured per run in the inference script.
Handles file references in questions, with documented formats and organization.
Includes the deep research benchmark evaluation used by the project.
The model is available on OpenRouter, so you can run inference with no GPUs at all.
Get the source code from GitHub and enter the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/Alibaba-NLP/DeepResearch.git
cd DeepResearchThe README's example uses conda with Python 3.10, then installs the requirements.
conda create -n react_infer_env python=3.10.0
conda activate react_infer_env
pip install -r requirements.txtEdit run_react_infer.sh (MODEL_PATH, DATASET, OUTPUT_PATH and any tool API keys), then run it.
# Edit run_react_infer.sh per README step 4, then run the script - see README step 5It is maintained by Alibaba's Tongyi team (Alibaba-NLP) on GitHub.
Yes - the project is Apache-2.0 licensed; model weights are provided under the terms on their download pages.
Local runs need no API key beyond any tool credentials you enable (for example a search API). The OpenRouter route requires an OpenRouter account and is pay-per-use.
Compared with hosted deep-research features in chatbots, Tongyi Deep Research gives you the open model and agent code to run, inspect and benchmark yourself.
Clone the repo, create the conda env, install requirements, download the weights, configure run_react_infer.sh and run your first question file.
