"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
00:00 - Manifesto:Excited to announce we raised 250M led by a16z at a 2.2B valuation. The past 5 years have been a wild ride. Here's where we're going:

- Replying to @ExaAILabsWe knew serving this world would require building a new search engine, designed for agents. We train special embedding models for complex queries, track 500B+ urls for the freshest data, and are on our 3rd generation vectorDB for the extreme volume that agents need.
00:00 - Replying to @ExaAILabsThese are the early days - in the next few years the number of searches from LLMs will be 1000x more than Google searches today. And these searches will be more complex. Not keyword searches, but full database queries over the world’s information.
- Replying to @ExaAILabsThousands of GTM teams use Exa to run CRM enrichment, find leads, and monitor the web for changes. Powered by state-of-the-art search across people, companies, and news. Here’s Hubspot on Exa:
- Replying to @ExaAILabsExa now serves 5000+ companies and 400,000+ developers. Companies like Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and much of the Fortune 500 use Exa for the highest quality search over fresh web data. Here’s Cognition: “Exa is how Devin sees the web.”
00:00 - 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…
00:00 - The Exa MCP is now officially available in ChatGPT! Exa gives ChatGPT access to unique data sources like people, companies, papers, and more. We find it particularly useful inside of Deep Research. To install, search “Exa” in “Apps”
