High-performance web search + retrieval
The SimpleQA Benchmark tests how accurately LLMs answer short, fact-seeking questions when equipped with different web search tools.
We ran ChatGPT 5.6 (low) with Nimble, Parallel, Exa, and OpenAI with various configs against 500 questions randomly selected from the original SimpleQA ground truth dataset. See the full methodology and results with full reproducibility.

This custom benchmark measures the success rate (% of webpages that were accessed) and completeness (% of returned webpage data for each url) for each webpage extraction tool.
We ran Nimble, Exa, Parallel, Firecrawl, and Open AI against 5,856 urls across 2,107 domains. Every engine extracts the same URLs on its default config, graded locally with no LLM judge against verbatim ground truth.
