Nebius has announced an agreement to acquire Tavily, an agentic search provider serving Fortune 500 companies and leading AI developers. The acquisition brings real-time web search infrastructure into Nebius’s AI cloud platform as enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents that depend on live external data.
The deal is reportedly valued at $275 million and is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to customary closing conditions, though Nebius has not formally disclosed the transaction’s financial terms.
The acquisition advances Nebius’s strategy to build a unified platform that enables enterprises and vertical AI companies to develop, tune, and operate autonomous agents without stitching together services from multiple vendors. By integrating Tavily’s search technology directly into its platform, Nebius aims to simplify the technical stack required to run enterprise-grade agentic systems.
Building a Full Agentic AI Stack
Tavily’s technology will complement Nebius’s existing Token Factory, which provides high-performance inference for AI workloads. While Token Factory supports agent reasoning and execution, Tavily adds real-time access to the open web, allowing agents to retrieve current information and verify facts during task execution.
Together, the combined offering is designed to address a critical challenge in agentic AI: grounding model outputs in live, verifiable data. Nebius said the integration allows customers to build agents capable of navigating the web, validating information, and performing complex real-world tasks while reducing reliance on third-party search providers.
Tavily to Operate as a Standalone Brand
The Tavily team, including founder and chief executive Rotem Weiss, will join Nebius and continue leading development of the Tavily product. Tavily will operate under its existing brand and continue serving current customers, while leveraging Nebius’s global infrastructure and engineering resources to scale its technology.
Tavily has demonstrated strong adoption through developer-led growth, with more than 3 million monthly SDK downloads and a developer community exceeding one million users. Its customer base includes large enterprises such as IBM, as well as AI-focused companies including Cohere and Groq. Tavily’s technology supports applications across industries such as financial services, logistics, and enterprise operations, where access to real-time information is critical.
Rising Demand for Agentic AI Infrastructure
The acquisition comes amid rapid expansion of the agentic AI market. Industry estimates project the sector will grow from roughly $7 billion in 2025 to between $140 billion and $200 billion by the early 2030s, reflecting annual growth rates above 40%. Within this landscape, agentic search is increasingly viewed as a core capability, as AI agents are expected to generate more internet queries than human users in the coming years.
By combining cloud infrastructure, high-performance inference, and real-time search, Nebius is positioning itself as an end-to-end platform provider for enterprises moving from pilot projects to large-scale deployment of autonomous AI systems.
