BTS of designing this blog, the graphs that didn't make it but led us to the final work

A search engine has many moving parts, and they constantly change with scale of index and traffic. In this blog post, we dive into the code-level abstractions we've built to develop search infrastructure that is both performant and a joy to work with. exa.ai/blog/composing…

@JakubHojsan how did this go viral

girls: “i have a boyfriend” VCs: “Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story with us; we really appreciate the energy, vision, and thoughtfulness you’ve clearly put into this. After careful consideration, extensive internal discussion, and a thorough review of how this aligns with our current fund thesis, portfolio construction strategy, and near-term capital allocation priorities, we’ve decided that this isn’t quite the right fit for us at this particular moment. That said, we genuinely believe what you’re building is interesting and encourage you to keep us updated as things evolve, as we’d love to stay loosely in touch and potentially revisit the opportunity down the line.”

@ExaAILabs @coinbase blue on blue

We're excited to partner with @coinbase to enable agents to natively pay for web search, via x402! x402 is an open protocol that enables agents to pay via HTTP, governed by the Linux Foundation. When an Exa API request is made without an API key, Exa now returns a 402 status code with payment information that an agent can act on.
