Nebius agreed to acquire AI-search-API startup Tavily for a reported ~$275M (up to $400M on milestones). Tavily's public credit-based API pricing (Researcher free, $0.008/credit pay-as-you-go, $30/mo Project) was unchanged through the announcement — the deal is a distribution/infra bet, not a repricing. Founder Rotem Weiss joins Nebius.
