What the article says
Exa launches Exa 3.0, described as the largest search quality improvement the company has shipped, in a post dated October 19, 2026. Exa claims first place on every benchmark tested against Perplexity, Brave and Parallel, for example 91.8% on BrowseComp, and first on the Artificial Analysis Search Index. The changes cover a larger embedding model, generally available Dynamic Highlights that use 95% fewer tokens than full page text, and billions of documents added to the index.
A new search type, Exa Lite, costs $4 per 1,000 requests versus $7 for Exa Auto; improved highlights and new sources come at no extra cost. New data includes 1.27 billion e-commerce listings, over 211 million local businesses, plus flights, events, sports, weather and markets. Exa 3.0 is available through the API, with a live Q&A planned for October 21 at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
