Hey HN!

We wrote a blog post about our adventures in building a (neural) search engine in the post-LLM world. We hope it gives a perspective on how we're thinking about the future of search and the role that tools like Metaphor could have. In brief, we think that LLMs will do more searches than humans, using tools like Metaphor.

You can play with our search here (http://metaphor.systems/) or check out our API here (https://platform.metaphor.systems/). The API is free to use up to 1000 requests/month, and if you're a student or nonprofit, just reach out and we can probably do more.

Cheers!

I'm really excited about this. There are so many use cases and ways to enhance products & services that are either currently using LLMs or are looking for a reason to. Elevating search to deliver the most aligned and current results shouldn't be underestimated!

Seems interesting, all the best ai chat interfaces do well in selling themselves by offering strong citations - I like how you.com for example points to relevant SO posts when it presents code snippets.

This sort of API can really boost the chat development workflow

The plugin for chatgpt is really nice, helps you summarize recent information from the web
