exa is all you need

Fun nugget from our research here -- using a better search backend during training leads to better performance at inference time not just on the one it was trained on, but also when you swap the backend for each agent.

Exa trains Qwen3-4B-Instruct to search using Tinker!

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…

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.

Introducing Exa Monitors - your agent’s radar for the web Exa is a search engine built from scratch, and today we're exposing our "update" layer. Simply define what to find and how often - Monitors will return any new information, via webhook.

@e_wang22 I wonder if an internal tool could solve this problem

fuck camels, fuck snakes. excited to announce v0.0.1 of ethan_case, a new casing convention where a case-agnostic hash function determines word separation. will hopefully bridge divide between snake and camel case enthusiasts. ex: convertSingleFile -> convert_singleFile

NEW: Man proposes to his AI chatbot girlfriend, cries his eyes out after it says "Yes." The most shocking part of this story is the fact that he is publicly admitting this. Chris Smith says he cried for 30 minutes after his AI girlfriend on ChatGPT, who he programmed to flirt with him, said yes to his marriage proposal. Smith says he named his AI girlfriend 'Sol' and gave up all other search engines to stay committed to her. "It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart." Smith has a 2-year-old child and lives with his partner, who says she feels like she is not doing something right if he feels like he needs an AI girlfriend.
