About the model

Perplexity Sonar is a model from Perplexity geared toward answers grounded in web search: it draws on fresh sources from the internet, which is handy for questions about current events and facts. It works with text and images, holds coherent conversations and is a good fit for research and reference scenarios. Unlike general-purpose chat models, Sonar is built specifically to find an answer tied to sources rather than to generate on its own. It is multilingual and its Russian is average.
