Introducing Expand Fetch, a new way to scrape and crawl the web. Your agent has never seen the web. No wonder it gets basic questions wrong. Traditional Markdown APIs lose critical details. So we trained two System one models to change that: Iris, a vision model that sees pages like you do, preserving tables, icons, and layouts. X-Ray, a JSON model that uncovers the hidden data behind every page. Every fetch also comes with a Wayback Machine. Every line links back to its source, so you can verify exactly what your agent saw. Three products. One API. On our benchmark of 1,094 questions across 326 challenging web pages, agents using Expand got 74% right. The next best API got 55%. Available today at $1 per 1,000 fetches.

SpaceXAI launched Grok Voice 3.0 tops Artificial Analysis’s Speech-to-Speech Index at 86.9, beating OpenAI and Google. The index blends spoken reasoning, simulated support calls, blind preference votes and task success, where GPT-Live-1 (Astra, Medium) reaches 83.2. The largest gain comes on τ-Voice, where a simulated caller asks the model to rebook flights or dispute charges using domain tools and a policy document. There, Grok’s success rate jumped from 56.5% under Grok Voice 2.0 to 71.6%. Grok’s edge is speed: it answers 40% sooner than GPT-Live-1, whose 1.34 seconds implies roughly 0.8 seconds, slightly slower than Grok Voice 2.0’s 0.70. Introducing Grok Voice 3.0 +2 It also costs $0.025 per task on Artificial Analysis’s Big Bench Audio run, against $0.030 for GPT-Live-1 and $0.055 for GPT-Realtime-2.1 (High).
