Octen is an innovative search infrastructure tailored for AI systems, designed to transcend the limitations of traditional human-centric search methods. Unlike conventional search engines that require sequential browsing through links, Octen enables AI agents to issue thousands of queries simultaneously, significantly speeding up the information retrieval process. By supporting massive concurrency with over 1,000,000 queries per second and maintaining low latency with P50 latency at 62 milliseconds, Octen ensures that information retrieval is almost instantaneous. Furthermore, its real-time indexing allows for the inclusion of newly published data within five minutes, providing AI models with the most current information. This broad search capability allows agents to monitor a wide array of information sources, such as global markets and breaking news, far more efficiently than traditional search workflows. Octen aims to be the high-bandwidth layer that connects AI models to the dynamic world, facilitating faster and broader access to information and setting the stage for the next phase of AI development.
