We're thrilled to announce that we've added web search capabilities to all our models through our partnership with LinkUp! This represents a significant upgrade to our platform, giving every AI model the ability to tap into the internet for real-time information.
A large language model without internet access is like a brilliant person who's been isolated in a cave for a year - they don't know about recent events, the latest products, or breaking news. By connecting our models to the internet through LinkUp, we solve this fundamental limitation, allowing our AI models to generate responses that are:
We've made enabling web access incredibly simple:
:online to any model nameOnce enabled, the model gains access to 10 web search results related to your query, dramatically improving its ability to provide accurate, up-to-date information.
You can choose between two search depths based on your needs:
Via API, you can enable deep search by appending :online/linkup-deep to the model name.
LinkUp has achieved state-of-the-art performance on OpenAI's SimpleQA benchmark, scoring an impressive 90.10%. For comparison:
These results demonstrate that internet connectivity is arguably more important than model size when it comes to factuality. By connecting GPT-4o-mini to the web, they've seen a 10x improvement in factuality, making it twice as accurate as models like o1, which have superior performance in other areas.
LinkUp delivers exceptional performance through:
We've kept pricing simple and affordable:
Note that enabling web search increases the input token count, which may affect the total cost of your queries.
We'd love to hear how you're using web-enabled models! Share your experiences and feedback with us through our usual channels.
Happy searching!
