We're excited to announce major upgrades to our Sonar models, delivering superior performance at lower costs. Recent benchmarks reveal that Sonar and Sonar Pro outperform competitors, all while remaining significantly more affordable.

Benchmark testing shows Sonar outperforms competitors across key metrics while maintaining exceptional cost efficiency. Sonar Pro surpasses even the most expensive competitor models—at a significantly lower price point.

We have added three new search modes — High, Medium, and Low — for customized performance, simplified billing, and more price control. All maintain Sonar's high factual accuracy, varying only in the amount of search compute allocated based on question complexity.

Learn more about the enhancements to our Sonar models in our blog post: perplexity.ai/hub/blog/new-s…

Exciting update! The new search modes bring flexibility to performance and pricing. Curious how the "Low" mode’s accuracy stacks up against competitors—it could be a game-changer for cost-conscious users needing reliable results. Any data on accuracy differences between modes? 🚀 #AI #SearchTech

@perplexity_ai High search mode works as a very impressive research assistant, producing rapid lit reviews. Yet, the quality of responses plunges after two-three consecutive queries. Usage caps are understandable, but it'd be great if they were explicitly stated.
