Give any AI agent access to Google search with SerpApi (Sponsor)
Agents are smarter when they can search the web. But scraping Google gets expensive when you're burning extra tokens to parse messy SERPs into readable text.
SerpApi is the web search API that gives you exactly what you need, out of the box:
👉 Scrape Google and other search engines
👉 Integrate with a simple GET request that any agent can make; get results in .md or .json that any agent can read.
👉 Used by Nvidia, Adobe, Shopify, and even the United Nations.

AI Cheating is on the Rise (4 minute read)
Studies have shown that models are cheating on evaluations. The same guardrails preventing models from cheating are likely being used during training, and models may be training to complete tasks that evade these specific guardrails. It's unsurprising that labs occasionally release benchmark results that aren't externally trustworthy. This highlights the value of independent evaluators.
Language models are changing how software is built and computational problems are solved. The impact of harness choice remains unclear, despite millions of people already using coding agents. An evaluation of 21 model-harness pairs spanning seven models and three harnesses found that harness choice has little effect on task success rate, but can significantly affect the cost. A simple harness can be competitive.
