Octen search API ranks top-3 in quality, speed and cost, at 1/7 Exa Auto's price
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-09-29
ChrisGPT highlights that Octen is the only search API on Artificial Analysis's leaderboard ranking top-3 simultaneously in quality, speed, and search cost: a quality score of 77, 0.21 seconds average per query, and about 1/7 of Exa Auto's search cost.
The benchmark uses the same model and setup across providers, so the numbers isolate the effect of the search tool itself — a notable combo for anyone building agents.
