Baseten Adds Server-Side Web Search for Open-Weight Models via One-Line Tool Config
PolarBearby · x · 2026-09-17
- Baseten launched Hosted Tools and Grounded Inference (preview): open-weight models on Baseten can now call real-time web search server-side with a single config—no orchestration code, no extra vendor keys.
- Four launch search partners: Exa, Kena, p0, and You.com.
- Baseten claims 15% lower latency vs. client-side execution and avoids resending a growing context every turn.
- You.com's integration needs one line in the tools array ({"type": "basetenyousearch"}); same model, same request.
- The pitch: give open-weight models frontier-level web search parity at a fraction of closed-model prices.
