Network Mode

如何在 Cherry Studio 使用联网模式

This document was translated from Chinese by AI and has not yet been reviewed.

Examples of scenarios requiring network access:

• Time-sensitive information: such as today's/this week's/just now's gold futures prices.

• Real-time data: such as dynamic values for weather, exchange rates.

• Emerging knowledge: such as new things, new concepts, new technologies, etc.

I. How to enable network access

In Cherry Studio's prompt window, click the "globe" icon to enable network access.

Click the globe icon - Enable network access

Indicates - Network access function is enabled

II. Special attention: There are two modes for network access

Mode 1: Large models from model service providers come with network access

In this case, once network access is enabled, you can directly use the network service, which is very simple.

You can quickly determine if a model supports network access by checking if there's a small map icon next to the model name above the chat interface.

On the model management page, this method also allows you to quickly distinguish which models support network access and which do not.

Currently supported network-enabled model service providers in Cherry Studio include

• Google Gemini

• OpenRouter (All models support network access)

• Tencent Hunyuan

• Zhipu AI

• Alibaba Cloud BaiLian, etc.

Special note:

There is a special case where a model can still achieve network access even if it doesn't have a small globe icon, as explained in the tutorial below.

Mode 2: Models without network access use Tavily service to achieve network access

When we use a large model that does not have network access (no small globe icon next to its name), but we need it to retrieve and process some real-time information, then the Tavily web search service is needed.

When using Tavily service for the first time, a pop-up will prompt you to set up some information. Please follow the instructions - it's very simple!

Pop-up, click: Go to Settings

Click to get API key

After clicking to get the API key, it will automatically jump to Tavily's official website login and registration page. After registering and logging in, create an API key, then copy the key to Cherry Studio.

If you don't know how to register, refer to the Tavily network access login and registration tutorial in the same directory as this document.

Tavily registration reference document:

Tavily Network Login and Registration Tutorial

The following interface indicates successful registration.

Copy key

Paste key, job done!

Let's try it again to see the effect. The results show that network search is normal, and the number of search results is our default value: 5.

Note: Tavily has a free tier limit per month, exceeding it requires payment~~
