Introducing Sonar: Perplexity’s API.

Sonar is the most affordable search API product on the market. Use it to build generative search, powered by real-time information and citations, into your apps. We’re also offering a Pro version with deeper functionality. With Sonar Pro, develop capabilities that are even more powerful, supporting advanced, in-depth queries and follow up questions.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised $62.7 million in a Series B1 funding led by Daniel Gross. The round also includes Stanley Druckenmiller, NVIDIA, Jeff Bezos, Tobi Lutke, Garry Tan, Andrej Karpathy, Dylan Field, Elad Gil, Nat Friedman, IVP, NEA, Jakob Uszkoreit, Naval Ravikant, Brad Gerstner and Lip-Bu Tan. Since we announced our Series B in January 2024, we’ve grown to serve 169M queries per month, and more than 1 billion queries in the last 15 months. The additional funding will be used to support our continued consumer adoption and enterprise expansion.

When building *answer engines*, truthfulness is essential when delivering direct answers to questions. Just being able to cite your sources isn't sufficient. Hence why we're excited about giving you the power to curate your sources. Few more examples in 🧵 of what it lets you do

“Yann LeCun” on @perplexity_ai: something for which you would expect to see an accurate bio of @ylecun is incorrect. Says “he is the cofounder and advisor for @Meta”. Error stems from his Linkedin page having keywords like “cofounder”. Left: Incorrect, Right: Correct.

With Perplexity, you can search over databases. But also do more!

Visualize & Summarize results as aggregate stats, plots

Everyone gets to analyze data from natural language.

No prerequisite knowledge of SQL or plotting libraries necessary.
