Where does Yep get its results?

Ahrefs says Yep runs on its own crawler, index and ranking with no upstream provider, over 100 billion pages with 8 billion recrawled daily, in 180+ languages[2]. First-party pages disagree on the crawler: the robot page says AhrefsBot feeds both Ahrefs and Yep[1], while the help center says a separate YepBot maintains the yep.com index[3]. The Yep page now presents the product as a web search API[2]. Yep takes part in IndexNow[1].
