Didn't all other countries get used to the 10% extra tariffs currently applied, though? It's pretty clear that 100% is a threat, but the previous threats didn't end up with 0% so i…

It might not be a coincidence that POTUS wrote yesterday on Truth Social that 100% tariffs would be imposed on any country proceeding with taxing US' digital services.

Thank you for explaining the issue with such clarity. This is one of the best comments I’ve read for a while.

They link to: https://huggingface.co/collections/Qwen/qwen3-omni-68d100a86... from the blog post but it does seem like this redirects to their main space on HF so maybe they didn't…

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to clarify that Brave Search is 100% independent and doesn’t source results from any third -party (see here for more details: https://…

These models are not of the same nature either. Their training was done in a different way. A uniform naming (even with explicit number of parameters) would still be misleading.

I can confirm that both web client and iOS apps cannot connect to servers at this point. There was a server outage earlier today, not sure if it's related.

Hey, let me forward that to someone more knowledgeable about this topic. We'll get back to you. Thanks for the feedback!

It can be both, we have people who look at community feedback on a daily basis, but engineers also tend to be out there on HN and Reddit, etc. and today it was the case that I saw …

Hi, Brave engineer here, May I ask when you switched away from Brave Search? We've been doing work to reduce the amount of captchas a few months ago and we stopped getting feedback…

That is not fully accurate. Brave Search is fully independent - the last dependency on Bing was dropped more than a year ago, but even at the time the dependency would not have pre…

Qwant was not usable yesterday during the Bing outage so that pretty much shows they cannot function without Bing (even if they do have some auxiliary indexes of some sort)

Qwant also relies on Bing (and was not usable during yesterday's incident)
