Keenable (Pro mode, paired with GPT-5.6 Sol) tops the Vals Web Search Index at 49.1% overall, beating Exa — a company that raised over $350M. It leads finance at 53.9% and ranks second in legal at 44.2%, behind Claude Fable 5 with native search. The 15-engineer team is led by a former Yandex search head. Their approach: a proprietary web index built from scratch for agents rather than humans, ranking optimized so the source an AI cites is usually the first result, and 0.5s search latency.
