Perplexity
General AI search and research assistant with Deep Research, Labs/Computer, and multi-model switching—not an IDE coding plan
Core models
OpenAI's frontier model switchable on Pro—strong on structured reasoning, code analysis, and multi-step tasks; one of Pro's main daily research picks.
OpenAI's stable frontier release and a default Model Council participant—reliable for complex Q&A and multi-source synthesis.
Anthropic's balanced high-intelligence model and a Pro workhorse—near-Opus capability at lower cost for daily deep research and long reports.
Anthropic's high-capability flagship mainly on Max—a core Model Council participant for complex analysis, long-document comprehension, and high-stakes decisions.
Anthropic's latest Opus release rolling into Max—preferred when Max users need the strongest Claude reasoning and writing quality.
Additional core model names still appear above, with full details on the latest official page.

Notes
- Consumer subscription model lineup evolves with releases; o3-pro and Claude Opus 4.6/4.8 are mainly Max-tier, while Pro focuses on GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and similar.
- Annual Max billing is mainly via the web app; mobile upgrade and billing may differ. Enterprise vs consumer plans differ significantly on data training policy (Enterprise offers contractual zero data training).
- Perplexity API (Sonar/Agent API) is separate from consumer Pro/Max subscriptions—API bills per token or request and is not included in Pro search quotas (some Pro plans include small API credits per account).
