## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, balanced, multi-source news synthesis on a specific topic rather than a single article or raw search results. Ideal for agents that need to inform users about current events with a triangulated perspective rather than a single-source view. Prefer this over raw web search when you want a pre-synthesized narrative report rather than a list of links.
