WHAT YOUR AGENT GETS
Your agent sends a query and gets up to 25 sources. Each comes with its address, its title, the publication date when the site gives one, and the page text in whole paragraphs, without menus or ads. No need to open and clean the pages yourself.
Over the API or a local MCP server.

In Pydantic AI's Amazon backend, which setting beats the unified one, and how do I get the reserved level?
Bedrock supports controlling the service tier to manage throughput and cost. You can use the unified service_tier field or the provider-specific bedrock_service_tier field. bedrock_service_tier takes precedence over the unified field when both are set.
To request Bedrock’s 'reserved' tier (which requires a pre-purchased capacity reservation), set bedrock_service_tier directly — it isn’t reachable through the unified field.

Measured on 24 October 2026 on a test server with the benchmark’s index: 60 questions per mode, the first 20 of SimpleQA, Natural Questions and TechQA-open. In the benchmark itself, 16 searches at once on one machine, the median was 2.68 s in Fast, 3.61 s in Standard and 5.03 s in Deep. Network time to the client is extra.
7 QUESTION SETS · 24 OCTOBER 2026
The same 1,412 questions from seven sets for every service, and one check: is a correct answer in the text it returns. Each searched its own index: Exa and Linkup the whole web, Orbita a test index of 5.85 million pages built for this run (English Wikipedia and 1,927 other sites), not its smaller production index. On technical documentation, where Orbita has the pages, it is close to them or ahead; on general knowledge many answers are on pages it does not have.
