// about Perplexity Sonar

Perplexity Sonar is the API that gives developers access to Perplexity's real-time, search-augmented AI. Unlike standard LLM APIs that are limited to training data, Sonar retrieves up-to-date information from the web and returns answers with citations. It's used to add live search grounding to AI applications without building a web search pipeline from scratch. The Sonar Pro model handles complex, multi-step research queries, while Sonar and Sonar Turbo target high-volume use cases where speed and cost efficiency matter.
