Google should buy Anthropic for $600B-1T in stock. Similar "don't be evil" DNA. Employees and investors win. Anthropic gets access to TPUs and the Google cash cow. Google gets the best minds in AI. Sergey, Larry, and Dario go to Mar-a-Lago and give 5% of the new company to the feds to get through the FTC. The combined company is the crown jewel of the United States.

The Brave Search API, which powers search and AI apps by tapping billions of Web results with a single API call, is now integrated into @Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company.
This integration supplies the leading coding agents and enterprise AI tools with real-time Web data.

What are the most useful connectors I should set up with Clawd?
So far have GitHub, Google, and X

Clawdbot, a 24/7 open-source AI assistant that actually does work, seems like magic.
But it’s even MORE powerful when you hook it to the Brave Search API. 💪

@omooretweets @a16z Brave Search just launched an AI Grounding end point for LLMs and achieved SOTA on SimpleQA. Pls DM if you want to connect with the Search API Engineers. brave.com/blog/ai-ground…
English
Could not agree more with this.
More to come on the @a16z pod soon - but my general takeaway from this year in consumer AI has been a TON of launches from the model cos, but sometimes in the wrong direction.
Google dropped killer new creative models (Nano Banana and Veo) that arguably dominated mainstream adoption and yet…they don’t work half the time in Gemini, and many of their other experiments are near-impossible to find and use.
OpenAI shoved a lot into ChatGPT (Pulse, Group Chats, Shopping, etc.) and most of it hasn’t stuck - IMO, none of it has enough UI “space” (yet!) to feel first class. I’d rather they double down on a few ideas and make them truly spectacular and must-use - starting with the obvious stuff like Connectors feels like a good idea!

If I worked at OpenAI or Anthropic, here are the three things I'd put at the top of my priority list: - Bulletproof web search / URL grounding - Realtime information - Connectors (and what you do with them) ...and making these things work unbelievably well in ChatGPT and Claude. I just looked at my last 100 queries and many of them require multiple web searches (often about realtime information), some reasoning about the results, and analysis to get the answer. Gemini 3.0 in AI Studio is pretty good at intuiting when to use the web search tool vs. not. Unsurprisingly, it's also great at figuring out which results are the most relevant. URL context is incredibly impressive, and seems to understand webpages and their structure extremely well. This reflects so many good decisions and long term bets that the Deepmind team has made. On the connectors front, Google already houses so much of the data that's valuable to the user (Chrome, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Photos) - and they're not even doing anything with it yet. This is table stakes now, not just a nice-to-have. The lab that nails this becomes the default interface for how people get things done - and right now Gemini is looking pretty pretty good.

@greg16676935420 Bro, how much does perplexity pay you? Your acct is becoming garbage
English
@bankertobuilder @AskPerplexity is there any problems with the beam not being centered?
English
The homeowner is refusing to pay me for these footers because she thinks this is unsafe.
I told her there are absolutely no problems since 90% of the beam is touching concrete.
Looks like I'll be filing a mechanic's lien on Monday until she pays me the $45,000 she owes me.

@uwukko @qualk37 @luciascarlet Kagi uses Brave Search API for their search results - good partnership b/w the two companies
English
@qualk37 @luciascarlet “all of them” being 40 bing api frontends & brave search
English
Google: Urban Dictionary isn’t even on the FIRST PAGE
Kagi: it’s just right there

@bgurley @drapersgulld Brave is the only independent Search engine offering API access at this point. All the major LLMs use Brave API for Grounding and RAG because of high quality and speed. Brave doesn’t rely on Google or Bing. Exa is not the same - it proxies Google and Bing, questionable biz.
English
@drapersgulld if so, who wins? What are other search indexes of the whole web?
English
There’s something happening here. But what it is ain’t exactly clear. Any good guesses out there???
Tanay Jaipuria@tanayj
Surprised Bing is shutting down their search APIs Good news for Brave, Exa, You and others
English
@JohnWardHere Brave search api has free plan, 2k queries per month or $5/1,000 if you want more than 2k.
English
@petamber There might be some circular dependencies in the web search API ecosystem.

MS retires their Bing search APIs with an aggressive timeline.
microsoft.com/en-us/bing/api…
English
@HCSolakoglu @casper_hansen_ I used to quip that Bing was for searching and Google for finding. But when Google deteriorated over the last years/months, suddenly indeed the Bing API for our agents was better. And now it will be closed down.
English
TLDR; Microsoft discovered a gold mine in Bing and now wants it for themself. OpenAI is affected by this too, they can't cut ties with Microsoft now even if they wanted to - unless they work with Google.
Casper Hansen@casper_hansen_
Today I learned Microsoft is retiring the Bing API. Removing it completely. Why? It’s super powerful when used as training data for LLMs - look at o3
English
@petamber You’re right. Claude’s using Brave; are there others?
English
Bing Search API is being deprecated in August, which I think is quite a big deal.
English
@ArchieAndrews85 Most of the Large LLM cos are using the Brave Search API for RAG and Grounding. Can also do straight web search wrapping. Pretty flexible on use cases.
English
This sucks. Bing is basically the only credible search engine with an api. Honestly not sure what I’m going to replace this with.
Sithamet and 51 others@sithamet
Ok, that's bad. Microsoft, one of the biggest search API providers, e.g. for OpenAI, closes it's Bing API search services and forces people into Azure AI Agents. Will it impact OpenAI or Exa? Who's left on the market? Brave, DuckDuckGo, who else?

@merican_legends @cloneofsimo bing api currently. for some reason google doesn't create a paid search api or let anyone else use their engine programmatically. wonder why
English
This company:
* Monopoly on search market
* Monopoly on entire fucking videos on the planet
* Oligopoly on self driving cars, music streaming, emails, office tools, video calls, etc etc
* Literally half of entire ads on earth
* Literally have private SoTA language models, video diffusion models, etc etc
* Make Nvidia-grade TPUs themselves, dont sell for some reason
* largest cloud provider on earth
.... have PER of 17

@sambreed just got this email too, I rely on this heavily in my app so I guess I need to start migrating elsewhere
English
real talk this is why brave search api has any users. never thought I'd have a soft spot for Bing, but the API was fantastic.

@shaoruu @cursor_ai Brave Search API + Sequential Thinking - search inside of cursor without needing to flip into Google and breaking workflow - 10x productivity
English
what should i add to @cursor_ai that would make u 10x more productive? feature requests, tiny nits, anything :)
English
We've been limited to Claude Desktop and IDEs like Cursor for MCP... until now. ⚡️
We shipped Groq Desktop, a new MCP host that's insanely fast. You can now give models like Llama 4 Scout and Qwen QwQ 32B the ability to instantly read PDFs, connect to Slack, and so much more.
