Perplexity Sonar Pro

by Perplexity

Sonar Pro extends search-augmented answering to more sophisticated, multi-step research tasks. It returns roughly double the citations per search compared with base Sonar and offers a larger 200K context window, helping it handle cross-referenced analysis across topics like regulatory frameworks, product comparisons, and market intelligence drawn from diverse sources. It supports text input and structured output. It suits complex queries that demand broad source coverage and deeper content understanding. The expanded context and added citation depth make it valuable for analytical workflows where the breadth and depth of sourced information directly shape output quality.
