Lite search, recommended search types, and search warnings The search types we recommend are now lite , auto , and deep , and /search tells developers when a request doesn't do what they expect. lite is a new search type for latency- and cost-sensitive projects. Set type: "lite" on /search .
Agent Ultra Agent Ultra is Exa Agent's highest-effort mode, built for large list building, deep multi-source research, and criteria that are hard to verify. Set effort: "ultra" on a run. Metered : billed at standard Agent usage rates, up to a default $20 per run. Set budget.maxCostDollars to change the cap.
Exa Agent and Exa Connect in MCP Exa Agent is now available within Exa MCP. Use it from Claude, Cursor, or any other MCP client when the task needs more than a single search call. Enable the Agent tool with https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp?tools=agent_run , then call agent_run to run the agent through completion and return its output.
Dynamic Highlights (research preview) Dynamic Highlights selects excerpts across the complete result set instead of treating each page independently. It gives more of the shared context budget to useful sources and gives less context to sources that only repeat information already returned.
Publication research We significantly expanded and improved research over academic publications. 350M publications : search across an index of 350 million publications.
Introducing Exa Agent We released a new class of frontier web research agents that are accessible via API. Exa Agent API supports parameters including a natural-language query, effort mode, outputSchema for structured outputs, and input.data to build upon an existing dataset.

Search with contents : $7 per 1k requests (10 results, text + highlights included); $1 per 1k additional results. Summaries : $1 per 1k, on both search and contents.
