## Recommendation: Brave Search API (AI Grounding) For this travel planner — a multi-provider LLM app (`llm_client.py`) with no current retrieval — the cleanest integration is a *retrieval* API that returns clean, citable passages + URLs, which your existing `LLMClient.generate()` then grounds and cites. That keeps citations verifiable (you control synthesis) and preserves provider flexibility, rather than bolting on a second answer-engine LLM. Given your explicit priority order — **accuracy > source quality > verifiable citations ≫ latency/price/ease** — I'd pick **Brave**, because it's the only candidate that wins on the *credibility* of those three claims, not just the headline number: - **Source quality (structural):** Brave runs its own independent index (~30B pages, 1.5B queries/mo). Most rivals resell Bing/Google or commodity indexes; with Bing's API retired, that independence is also a durability advantage. - **Accuracy (trustworthy methodology):** 94.1% F1 on SimpleQA — and uniquely, Brave *filtered contaminated sources* (HuggingFace dumps, pages containing "simpleqa") before reporting, the only vendor transparent about contamination. Self-reported, but the most defensible
