EntropyBench scores search APIs by how much they reduce a judge model's surprisal

According to a post on X by @willbeddow5366, EntropyBench asks how much a search result lowers the GLM 5.3 judge model's surprisal about a known answer. The benchmark compares Exa, p0, Firecrawl and Tavily on that measure. A follow-up post says the pipeline tracks answer log-probabilities as results arrive, and the author pointed to an interactive results page. The source notes the main post is mainly a video and that the results page did not return a readable ranking table in this run.

@willbeddow5366 released EntropyBench, which asks how much a search result reduces GLM 5.3's surprisal about a known answer, and compares Exa, p0, Firecrawl and Tavily on that measure. A follow-up says the pipeline looks at answer log-probabilities as results arrive; he pointed to an interactive results page. The...

Developers choosing search APIs for AI coding tools may want a way to compare how useful retrieved results are, not just how fast they return. The source does not yet show a clear ranking, so the result should be treated as an early signal. Watch for a readable leaderboard, the methodology details, and whether other teams reproduce the scores.
