Description

Perplexity AI is an American web search engine that leverages large language models (LLMs) to process user queries and synthesize responses. Unlike traditional search engines, Perplexity aims to provide direct, accurate, and real-time answers, often citing its sources directly. It functions as an AI-powered answer engine, designed to cut through clutter and deliver credible, up-to-date information. The platform is versatile, serving as a tool for answering questions, learning new skills or concepts, and conducting in-depth research. It offers various underlying models, including a lightweight, cost-effective search model for quick, grounded answers, and an offline chat model that provides local AI capabilities without requiring internet search. Perplexity also integrates advanced third-party AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 Omni and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet & Haiku for its premium users. Perplexity is accessible across multiple platforms, including a web application, and dedicated mobile apps for Android and iOS. It also offers a developer API, notably including its proprietary 'Sonar' models, allowing external applications to integrate Perplexity's AI search capabilities. The service operates on a freemium model, offering a free plan with core features and a 'Pro' subscription for enhanced capabilities.
