Never be ashamed to ask for help.

This is Jazeel a 6 year old with three holes in his heart. His mother sent his picture to me, see blood in his eyes, I cried when I saw the picture, because I've witnessed a scenario where this boy had a seizure 😭 I cried that day. Read my chat with his mum this morning they need 8M for surgery. This is one of those times I really wished God blesses me the way I want 😭 @Wizarab10 @osemagnum @Dr

10 months ago, we started Octen with one belief: search infrastructure built for humans won't be enough for AI. Most of the industry saw the same shift, but kept building with a human-search mindset. AI doesn't search like humans. It fires hundreds of queries in parallel, reads everything it retrieves, and needs clean, grounded content back in milliseconds, at a cost that still works at scale. So we didn't adapt human search for AI. We rebuilt it from first principles. Today, Artificial Analysis published its independent Search API benchmark. Octen is the only major provider ranked Top 3 in all three dimensions that matter: #1 in speed #2 in cost efficiency Top 3 in search quality We're also the only provider in Artificial Analysis' "Most Attractive Quadrant" for search quality vs. cost. What makes me proudest is how we got here. Many companies on this leaderboard have been building for 3–5 years and have raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Octen is 10 months old and has raised just $10M. To me, product built per dollar raised is one of the most honest measures of technical strength in this industry. We've kept the team small but exceptional, moved fast, and put nearly everything into the core technology. People used to assume search had to trade off speed, cost and quality. We've shown it can be faster, cheaper and better at the same time. The product engine is working. Next, we're bringing Octen to every model, agent and physical AI product that needs to search. Humans search with Google. AI searches with Octen. We're just getting started. 🚀
