Kenning's take
What it does
Deep Max is the highest-compute search endpoint from Exa. It pairs large language models with dozens of parallel calls to Exa Search to answer difficult research questions, and Exa says a typical query finishes in tens of seconds. At announcement Exa said it was releasing soon and asked developers to contact its team about usage and pricing.
- Dozens of parallel search calls per query
- Token-efficient page contents and highlights
- Runs on Exa's own search index
- Exa reports top scores on DSQA, FRAMES and HLE-Search
Who it suits. Developers building AI agents and research tools that need deep web search through an API.
