ZeroSearch: A Smarter, Cheaper Way to Train AI Models for Search

Alibaba has quietly dropped a major breakthrough in AI training. Their new method, ZeroSearch, slashes the cost of training AI search models by nearly 90% without needing real-time access to external search engines.
Here’s everything you need to know about ZeroSearch:
ZeroSearch trains AI models through simulations instead of expensive, real-time search queries.
It transforms a reference model into a pseudo-search engine, cutting reliance on platforms like Google.
Running 64,000 queries via API cost $586 the same job with ZeroSearch? Just $70.
This opens the door for smaller teams to build competitive search AI without a giant budget.
It’s not just cheaper the method also improves reasoning and content generation capabilities.
The tech powers Alibaba’s Quark app, now China’s most popular AI tool, featuring “deep search.”
Deep search combines Qwen AI’s reasoning with real-time results for better, context-aware answers.
Baidu, DeepSeek, and Moonshot AI are also racing to upgrade search AI with similar real-time tools.
ZeroSearch signals a shift not just in cutting AI costs, but in how search engines themselves might evolve. Training smarter models without expensive infrastructure gives startups and small labs a real shot at competing with the giants. This isn’t just a China story it’s the future of scalable AI.
