Introducing Toast 1

Mixedbread has launched Toast 1, a specialized agentic search model designed to decompose queries, retrieve and inspect evidence, and provide curated context to either operate independently or support frontier models as a subagent. The company reports that Toast 1 matches or exceeds frontier retrieval quality while reducing search cost, latency, token use, and agent turns, particularly when paired with Mixedbread Search, although it can also use existing retrieval backends. Reported evaluations include 70% correctness at roughly $1.15 per task on Databricks’ OfficeQA Pro V2 with GPT-5.6 Sol in Codex, and equivalent scores on a 33-task legal knowledge benchmark while using 3.5 times fewer tokens than a vanilla retrieval setup. On deep-search benchmarks, Mixedbread says standard Toast 1 runs cost about $0.016–$0.023 per query with roughly eight-second median latency, compared with 20 seconds to four minutes for comparable frontier-model agents. Toast 1 is available through the Mixedbread API at launch-discounted token pricing, integrates with Chat Completions, coding agents, and Mixedbread Stores, and includes an introductory API credit offer.
