Exa 3.0 adds a larger embedding model and billions of new documents to its search API

Exa 3.0 is described as the biggest search quality update to Exa's API for AI agents. The release adds a larger embedding model and billions of new documents, including 1.27 billion ecommerce listings and more than 211 million local businesses.

The update also introduces Dynamic Highlights, which the listing says use 95% fewer tokens than full page text. Exa Lite is a new tier priced at $4 per 1,000 requests, and Exa Auto costs $7. Both are available now through the API.

Reviews on the Product Hunt listing come from founders who use Exa inside their own products. They praise semantic relevance, integration speed and reliability for agent workflows.

Developers whose agents depend on web retrieval can compare Exa Lite and Exa Auto pricing with what they pay for search today. Dynamic Highlights may reduce the tokens spent on page content, which matters if context size drives model costs. The praise so far comes from existing Exa users, so testing retrieval quality on your own queries is still worthwhile.
