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.

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.
