High-performance web search + retrieval

What this measures

The SimpleQA Benchmark tests how accurately language models answer short, fact-seeking questions when equipped with different web search tools.

Methodology summary

We ran ChatGPT 5.6 (low) with Nimble, Parallel, Exa, and OpenAI with various configs against the Simple QA ground truth dataset.

What this measures

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.

Methodology summary

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.

How Nimble goes deeper than the rest

As that expertise compounds, Nimble captures deeper web context with fewer searches, lowering the cost of every research task. Learn more
