Quick reminder to make Jan v1 ready for search:
- Turn on Experimental Features
- Add a search API in MCP Server settings
- Enable tool use for the model

ReZero is a reinforcement learning framework that doesn't give up on web search.

It keeps refining its answer until it gets it right. Trained to search, not guess.

Built with synthetic search engines that force it to persist.
