Decider Flash V1.2 is a 4B-parameter decision model from Perplexity, a smaller, lower-cost sibling of Decider V1.2 with the same API contract. Instead of generating text, it reads content passed as state (text, JSON, or images) and returns typed, probabilistic answers to one or more named questions in a single request: the probability of yes for a yes/no question (noul), a probability for every option plus the most likely one (choice, up to 255 options), or a probability for every level of an ordered rubric plus the expected score (score). It suits high-volume classification, routing, and moderation where application code thresholds the returned numbers rather than parsing a chat reply.

Decider V1.2 is a new 27B checkpoint of Perplexity's decision model, succeeding Decider V1.1 27B with the same API contract. Instead of generating text, it reads content passed as state (text, JSON, or images) and returns typed, probabilistic answers to one or more named questions in a single request: the probability of yes for a yes/no question (noul), a probability for every option plus the most likely one (choice, up to 255 options), or a probability for every level of an ordered rubric plus the expected score (score). It is built for classification, routing, moderation, and rubric grading where application code thresholds the returned numbers rather than parsing a chat reply. For a smaller, lower-cost option with the same contract, see Decider Flash V1.2.

Decider V1.1 27B is a new checkpoint of Perplexity's decision model, succeeding Decider V1 27B with the same API contract. Instead of generating text, it reads content passed as state (text, JSON, or images) and returns typed, probabilistic answers to one or more named questions in a single request: the probability of yes for a yes/no question (noul), a probability for every option plus the most likely one (choice), or a probability for every level of an ordered rubric plus the expected score (score). It is built for classification, routing, moderation, and rubric grading where application code thresholds the returned numbers rather than parsing a chat reply. A request can carry up to 128 questions about the same content.

pplx-embed-v1 -4B is one of Perplexity's state-of-the-art text embedding models built for real-world, web-scale retrieval. pplx-embed-v1 is optimized for standard dense text retrieval with the 4B parameter model maximizing retrieval quality.

pplx-embed-v1-0.6B is one of Perplexity's state-of-the-art text embedding models built for real-world, web-scale retrieval. pplx-embed-v1 is optimized for standard dense text retrieval with the 0.6B parameter model targeting lightweight, low-latency embedding generation.

Exclusively available on the OpenRouter API, Sonar Pro's new Pro Search mode is Perplexity's most advanced agentic search system. It is designed for deeper reasoning and analysis. Pricing is based on tokens plus $18 per thousand requests. This model powers the Pro Search mode on the Perplexity platform. Sonar Pro Search adds autonomous, multi-step reasoning to Sonar Pro. So, instead of just one query + synthesis, it plans and executes entire research workflows using tools.

Note: Sonar Pro pricing includes Perplexity search pricing. See details here Sonar Reasoning Pro is a premier reasoning model powered by DeepSeek R1 with Chain of Thought (CoT). Designed for advanced use cases, it supports in-depth, multi-step queries with a larger context window and can surface more citations per search, enabling more comprehensive and extensible responses.

Note: Sonar Pro pricing includes Perplexity search pricing. See details here For enterprises seeking more advanced capabilities, the Sonar Pro API can handle in-depth, multi-step queries with added extensibility, like double the number of citations per search as Sonar on average. Plus, with a larger context window, it can handle longer and more nuanced searches and follow-up questions.

Sonar Deep Research is a research-focused model designed for multi-step retrieval, synthesis, and reasoning across complex topics. It autonomously searches, reads, and evaluates sources, refining its approach as it gathers information. This enables comprehensive report generation across domains like finance, technology, health, and current events. Notes on Pricing (Source) - Input tokens comprise of Prompt tokens (user prompt) + Citation tokens (these are processed tokens from running searches) - Deep Research runs multiple searches to conduct exhaustive research. Searches are priced at $5/1000 searches. A request that does 30 searches will cost $0.15 in this step. - Reasoning is a distinct step in Deep Research since it does extensive automated reasoning through all the material it gathers during its research phase. Reasoning tokens here are a bit different than the CoTs in the answer - these are tokens that we use to reason through the research material prior to generating the outputs via the CoTs. Reasoning tokens are priced at $3/1M tokens

R1 1776 is a version of DeepSeek-R1 that has been post-trained to remove censorship constraints related to topics restricted by the Chinese government. The model retains its original reasoning capabilities while providing direct responses to a wider range of queries. R1 1776 is an offline chat model that does not use the perplexity search subsystem. The model was tested on a multilingual dataset of over 1,000 examples covering sensitive topics to measure its likelihood of refusal or overly filtered responses. Evaluation Results Its performance on math and reasoning benchmarks remains similar to the base R1 model. Reasoning Performance Read more on the Blog Post

Sonar Reasoning is a reasoning model provided by Perplexity based on DeepSeek R1. It allows developers to utilize long chain of thought with built-in web search. Sonar Reasoning is uncensored and hosted in US datacenters.

Sonar is lightweight, affordable, fast, and simple to use — now featuring citations and the ability to customize sources. It is designed for companies seeking to integrate lightweight question-and-answer features optimized for speed.
