AI search company Exa has introduced Agent Ultra, the top-tier version of its Exa Agent API, aimed at workloads that require exhaustive research. The company said the product is built for large-scale list building, entity enrichment, and questions that draw on thousands of sources. According to Exa, Ultra outperformed Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, and Perplexity Agent across four research benchmark tests when each model was run at its maximum-effort setting. Agent Ultra is now available as a hosted API. Users can access it by setting the effort parameter to "ultra." Pricing is metered at the standard Agent usage rate, with a default cap of $20 per run. Exa also identified three target customer groups for the product: model providers, financial services firms, and listing teams. The update was cited by MarkTechPost.
