Nebius Group N.V. announced an agreement to acquire Tavily, a 2024‑founded provider of agentic search technology, for $275 million with a potential upside to $400 million if milestone targets are met. The transaction is expected to close within the next few weeks.
The deal adds Tavily’s real‑time web‑access layer to Nebius’s AI cloud platform, complementing its Token Factory that delivers high‑performance inference for autonomous agents. Together, the integrated stack enables customers to build, tune, and run autonomous agents that browse the web, verify facts, and execute complex tasks without stitching together multiple vendors.
Nebius’s recent performance— a 126.7% return over the past year—underscores the company’s growth trajectory. The acquisition is positioned to accelerate that momentum by expanding the addressable market and strengthening competitive positioning against other neoclouds that lack integrated search capabilities.
Roman Chernin, co‑founder and Chief Business Officer, said the deal brings the search layer directly into the stack, allowing developers to focus on applications rather than vendor integration. He added that the strategy is to provide an open platform for enterprises and startups alike, giving them the tools to own their AI destiny.
Following the announcement, Nebius shares rose 2.1% in Tuesday trade, reflecting investor confidence in the strategic fit. Analysts noted the deal aligns with the projected growth of the agentic AI market, which could reach $140–$200 billion by the early 2030s.
The acquisition also brings a 30‑person Tavily team, including founder Rotem Weiss, into Nebius, ensuring continuity of product development under the Tavily brand while leveraging Nebius’s global infrastructure.
