Perplexity AI is introducing two new large language models, pplx-7b-online and pplx-70b-online, which are the first of their kind online LLM API.
These models are capable of using knowledge from the internet to provide up-to-date information in their responses. To achieve this, Perplexity has developed in-house search technology that prioritises non-SEOed sites.
The models are finetuned to effectively use snippets to inform their responses and are accessible via the pplx-api and Perplexity Labs.
Evaluations conducted using curated evaluation datasets have demonstrated that Perplexity’s models can match or surpass the performance of other large language models in providing accurate and up-to-date answers.
The pplx-api is now available to the general public, following its release from beta. A new usage-based pricing structure has also been introduced.
