Artificial Analysis benchmarks search APIs for AI agent performance

  • Artificial Analysis, a research firm, created the Search Index to measure how well seven search API providers work for AI agents. Testing includes Parallel, Exa, Firecrawl, You.com, Tavily, Keenable, and Brave.
  • The benchmark tests three things equally: answering 900 research questions, finding 200 hard-to-find facts, and answering 600 questions across six knowledge domains. Each provider runs the same AI model in the same setup.
