"A lot of knowledge work is actually a search problem not an intelligence problem." @WilliamBryk sat down with @sarahdingwang from @a16z to discuss why the future of AI isn't just better models, but better retrieval

How does Exa compare to Google for training LLMs to search? In this blog post, we find that LLMs using Exa during reinforcement learning reach higher performance with 70% less training compute. exa.ai/blog/rl-search-outcom…

Install here: exa.ai/claude Compared to Claude Code's web_search, each Exa search result is faster and more accurate. On a dataset of 301 coding bugs where the issue depends on the developer's library version, Exa helps Claude correctly fix the issue 58% of the time vs. 38%, at half the latency.

Exa now reduces input tokens for web agents by 96%. We trained a text extraction "Highlights" model to dynamically select only the most relevant tokens from a webpage, for a given query. Only 500 tokens of highlights are needed to match the RAG performance of a full 10K token webpage. We find Highlights to be particularly useful for frontier models like GPT 5.5, where content density enables longer horizon tasks by preventing context bloat. You can use it today by using the "highlights" content type in our API!

On benchmarks like SimpleQA, 500 characters of Exa's highlights match the accuracy of the first 8000 characters of the page, and use 16x fewer tokens Learn more about how Exa's highlights work: exa.ai/blog/highlights-for-a…
