  • Tavily will continue operating under its brand, with founder and CEO Rotem Weiss and team joining Nebius to accelerate development using Nebius’s global infrastructure.
  • Agentic AI market projected to grow from ~$7B in 2025 to $140B–$200B by early 2030s (CAGR >40%), with agentic search as a critical enterprise layer.
  • Tavily has achieved strong adoption with >3M monthly SDK downloads, >1M developer community, and clients including IBM, Cohere, and Groq.
  • Transaction expected to close in the coming weeks (value not disclosed), subject to customary conditions.

As agentic AI adoption accelerates, enterprises require reliable grounding to ensure factual accuracy, reduce hallucinations, and enable autonomous agents to handle real-world tasks. Tavily’s agentic search addresses this need by providing real-time web access and verification, making it a key building block for scalable AI systems. By bringing Tavily into its stack, Nebius eliminates integration friction and strengthens its position as a full-stack platform for the agentic era.

“We're not just an infrastructure-as-a-service company—we're building the complete platform for anyone who wants to build AI products, agents, or services,” said Roman Chernin, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Nebius. “Tavily is solving a critical part of this stack with agentic search and has proven it with strong developer adoption. This acquisition brings the search layer directly into our stack, so developers can focus on their applications instead of managing multiple vendors. Our strategy is clear: provide an open platform that serves everyone from startups to the largest enterprises, giving them the tools to own their AI destiny.”

“Tavily is on a mission to onboard the next billion AI agents to the web. Agentic search is a multi-billion-dollar opportunity, and we believe the market is poised to grow exponentially as enterprises deploy autonomous AI systems,” said Rotem Weiss, founder and CEO of Tavily. “Joining forces with Nebius, one of the world's premier deep-tech engineering teams, accelerates our ability to scale globally and enables us to push the boundaries of what's possible further and faster.”

The acquisition positions Nebius to capture a significant share of the fast-growing agentic AI market, where search infrastructure is essential for enabling agents to issue more internet queries than humans in the coming years.
