Comment on Web search on the Anthropic API

Comments

Can any one answer this question: are they using custom home made web index? Or are they using bing/google api?

Also I'm quite sure that they don't use vector embeddings for web search, its purely on text space. I think the same holds for all LLM web search tools. They all seem to work well -- maybe we don't need embeddings for RAG and grepping works well enough?
