Real-time AI answer engine and research workspace combining live web citations with frontier reasoning models.
Executes multi-step iterative web and document research across hundreds of sources, cross-checking facts and generating structured, citation-backed analytical reports that can be exported as PDFs or shared as interactive Perplexity Pages.
Lets Pro and Max subscribers switch dynamically between Perplexity's in-house Sonar models and top external models (including Claude 4, o3-pro, and Gemini) or compare multi-model reasoning outputs side by side.
Provides dedicated project workspaces where users upload local PDFs, spreadsheets, and text files, configure custom assistant instructions, and run queries that combine private document retrieval with live internet search.
Extends Perplexity from passive Q&A into agentic execution, turning high-level user requests into completed workflows, multi-tab browser actions, and automated data synthesis via the Comet ecosystem.
Run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
Run image, video, audio, speech, and language models through a uniform API surface, with official models for FLUX, Nano Banana, Seedream, Grok Imagine, MiniMax, Wan, Seedance, and more.
Set up a model in minutes and make an API call in Python, Node, or plain HTTP after authenticating with an API token.
Package your own model with Cog, an open-source tool for packaging machine learning models, and deploy it on dedicated hardware that scales up and down with demand.
Fine-tune models on your own data, including fast-booting fine-tunes that are billed only while actively processing requests rather than for idle time.
