Exa released Exa 3.0, which it calls its largest search-quality improvement and says ranks first on every benchmark it tested, from public evaluations to coding, finance and go-to-market tasks; the results are Exa's own. It also launched Exa Lite, a search type on the same index as Exa Auto at $4 per 1,000 requests, versus $7 for Auto.
