Nebius, a Dutch AI cloud provider, has announced plans to acquire Tavily, an year-old Israeli agentic AI start-up. The deal integrates Tavily’s real-time search infrastructure into Nebius’s AI cloud platform as enterprise adoption of agentic AI accelerates.
In a press release, Nebius said that the acquisition aligns with its goal of creating a unified platform where companies can build, tune, and run autonomous AI agents. Tavily’s technology will complement Nebius Token Factory, which handles high-performance inference. The combined platform provides developers with the tools to create enterprise-grade agentic systems capable of reasoning, accessing real-time web data, and executing complex tasks without relying on multiple vendors.
Roman Chernin, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, Nebius, said, “We’re building the complete platform for anyone who wants to build AI products, agents, or services. 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.”
Rotem Weiss, Founder and CEO, Tavily, said, “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.”
This acquisition is significant in light of the growth in the agentic AI market across the world.
Precedence Research reported that the global agentic AI market is projected to grow from US$ 7.55 billion in 2025 to around US$ 199.05 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.8 percent from 2025 to 2034. This rapid expansion is driven by the adoption of AI across industries such as finance, transportation, defense, and healthcare, where autonomous systems can perform tasks without human intervention.
Tavily has over 3 million monthly software development kits (SDK) downloads and a developer community exceeding one million users. Its technology supports enterprises including IBM and AI companies like Cohere and Groq. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, though financial terms were not disclosed.
