Exa Highlights
Exa Highlights extracts dense, query-specific excerpts from web pages so agents can reason over less context with higher accuracy.
TL;DR
- Exa's highlights provide high-quality excerpts from web pages for agentic search.
- Improvements result in ~94% fewer tokens used for some evaluations, reducing costs and latency.
- Highlights match the accuracy of much larger full-text contexts, e.g., 500 characters of highlights vs. 8000 characters of full text.
- The highlights model is proprietary, runs for every request, and completes in under 100ms.
- Highlights power Exa's agentic products, including /answer, Deep, and Websets, contributing to their efficiency and quality.
