Figure 1. Overall result quality versus cost across search providers.
Quality on the NEEDLE benchmark is reported as the 7-day mean fraction of “ultimate” (oracle) performance across all benchmarks, where ultimate performance is defined by pooling results from all providers and using the judge to select the best possible ranking.
Cost is each provider’s lowest publicly available price per 1,000 queries.

SELECT
Thousands of web pages become a table of values, and the answer is computed over its rows, each one naming the page it came from.
Prompt
Track researcher moves between frontier labs — who left where, when — with a source on every move.
Web Query Language
SELECT
SEM_NORM(SEM_EXTRACT(content,'researcher who changed labs')) AS researcher,
SEM_EXTRACT(content, 'from lab'),
SEM_EXTRACT(content,'to lab'),
SEM_EXTRACT(content,'date'),
ANY_VALUE(url) AS source
FROM
WEB_SEARCH(8 diverse queries)
WHERE SEM_MATCH(content,'a researcher moving between labs') GROUP BY researcher;
46 researcher moves between 11 frontier foundation-model labs, Jan 2025 — Aug 2026

Time Machine
A point-in-time search API that enables you to search across prior versions of web pages and retrieve content from specific historical snapshots. Add query_time and both the corpus and the ranking rewind.
Figure 2. The web changes every minute. Here is one query run at 50 query times across 37 days, from the semifinals to just after the final.
Each dot is a top-10 result at its acquired time, coloured by finalist; the line is query_time advancing. Watch Arsenal appear first as the web tips them for the final, then PSG, then the whole set flip to the result the moment the line crosses kick-off.
