Introducing AI Grounding with Brave Search API, providing enhanced search performance in AI applications

Brave launches AI Grounding with their Search API, a solution that anchors LLM responses to verifiable web sources to reduce hallucinations. The service achieves 94.1% F1-score on SimpleQA benchmark and powers over 15 million daily queries. It offers single-search (fast, under 4.5 seconds) and multi-search (more thorough but slower) modes. Brave positions itself as the only independent, commercially viable search engine API at global scale, with pricing at $4 per thousand searches plus $5 per million tokens for the AI Grounding plan.
