Feature Added
Released: 2026-01-13
We're excited to announce Web Search - a powerful new feature that brings real-time internet data to any AI model on Apertis.
### What's New
Simply add `:web` to any model name to enable real-time web search:
- gpt-4o-mini:web
- claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022:web
- gemini-1.5-pro:web,...
🎉 Simply add `:web` suffix directly for ALL Model Ids!!!
### Key Features
- Real-Time Data: Get up-to-date information on stock prices, news, weather, and more
- Source Citations: Every response includes web_sources with referenced URLs
- Streaming Support: See the 🔍 Web searching... indicator followed by live content streaming
- Zero Extra Cost: Web search costs are absorbed by the platform - you only pay for model tokens
- Graceful Fallback: If search fails, the request automatically continues without interruption
### 🔥 Key benefits
- Real-time information (stock prices, news, weather, live events)
- Source citations included in every response
- Streaming support with visible search indicators
- 🤩 No extra cost — web search is included
