This benchmark provides critical empirical data on optimizing LLM agent performance by comparing search engines, query depths, and tool invocation strategies. The findings highlight that increasing the number of search turns offers the most significant quality gains, directly addressing the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, and latency for production agents.

Live Web Search Benchmarks: Pick the Right Engine, Depth, and Model for Your Agent

OpenRouterAugust 12, 20267 min read

We published live leaderboards grading web search configurations across four task suites. Compare engines, search depth, and models by quality, cost, and speed before your agent makes its first search.

Web search is table stakes for most LLM requests in order to overcome knowledge cutoffs. Labs and search providers are evolving fast to make search more effective and efficient, leaving all of us with a set of tricky decisions: take the native search some labs build in, or wire up a third-party engine like Exa, Parallel, or Perplexity? Is one search enough, and if not how long do I let the agent keep searching? Are more search turns worth the quality they buy? We built live leaderboards to help you decide the best search configuration with data. See the data on our new Benchmarks page. Model. Writes the exact query that gets submitted to the search engine and processes the results. Engine. You can choose a specific engine or rely on…
