This is probably similar to the Wolfram|Alpha + Siri integration (which AFAIK no longer exists):
- Kagi will rely on Wolfram's okay-ish stack to immediately add features to their engine
- Kagi will, over time, 1-by-1 remove the reliance on the (generally slow and expensive) Wolfram API with built-in features
- Once the meat of the features have been rewritten internally by Kagi in more performant and self-controlled ways, remove the dependence on the slow and expensive Wolfram API
Not saying that's a bad thing, but it's quite likely this is how it plays out. We've seen it before.
- 7thaccount 3y agoI can see them doing that for some things, but kind of doubt it for the more mathy things.
- martinky24 3y agoThere are things that move the needle (unit conversions) and things that don't matter as much ("how many tea cups of water would fit inside the moon"). It's the "things that matter" that get implemented and make the rest of it not worth it.

- drewbitt 3y agoIt is expensive I'm sure - and they attested to that in their Discord - but it doesn't seem slow.
