Neural search for 'the latest breakthroughs in room-temperature superconductors'.

I've performed a neural search for you. I found 10 high-quality links including recent pre-prints from arXiv, specialized science blogs, and official university press releases. Which source would you like me to extract the content from?

Find 5 links similar to 'https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following'.

Fetching similar content... I've identified 5 semantically related articles, including papers on RLHF from Anthropic, Google DeepMind's blog on fine-tuning, and technical breakdowns from HuggingFace. Shall I retrieve the metadata for these?

Extract the cleaned text content from 'https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752'.

Extraction complete! I've retrieved the cleaned text content for the arXiv paper (ID: 2312.00752). It contains the abstract, full body text, and author metadata. Would you like me to summarize the key findings for you?

Yes! Use the `search` tool. Provide your query and enable `useAutoprompt`. Exa will use its neural embeddings to find links that match the intent of your question.
