Summary

You.com has released its Search API, designed by Large Language Models (LLMs) for LLMs, focusing on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. The API is optimized to benchmark performance of LLMs in the RAG-QA setting and is compared with the Google Search API. You.com's search API returns larger text snippets when possible, making it powerful for LLMs operating in the RAG-QA setting. To evaluate its performance, You.com used the Hotpot QA dataset and found that it out-performs Google on a small subset of data, returning more relevant results to be processed by an LLM. The search API provides multiple text snippets per web result, allowing for more information to be fed into an LLM, which can lead to better performance in RAG-QA applications.
