Hey, was curious if there is any technical info out there about the model underlying Perplexity? It is proprietary and not calling out to OpenAI right?

[vocal jetty]

A simple Google search seems to indicate that it does.

I use perplexity a lot and I get the sense that it does interesting stuff with Twitter because of bird API (whatever that is).

Is someone willing to give me a quick intro to what it can do and some example syntax? Or am I just mistaken? Ironically, perplexity wasn’t much help on this question.

My friend want to add perplexity chatbot to his discord server but failed. What are the correct steps to add perplexity chatbot to private discord server? thanks!

[vocal jetty]

If I am not mistaken, they're working on getting the chatbot verified by Discord. Until then, I believe it has reached its limit in terms of how many servers it can be added to.

[rich reef]

Thanks for your help! is there anyway to add the chatbot if it has reached its limit? coz my friend really loves perplexity chatbot and want his discord members to be able to interact with the chatbot. thanks!

[vocal jetty]

As far as I understand it, the cap for an unverified Discord bot is 250 servers. This is a hard cap, and cannot be bypassed until Discord has approved the bot. You'll have to wait for Discord to approve the bot. For now, you can use the bot via this or another Discord server that has the bot, or you can use the web site.

I'm afraid that's about all I know about the matter. 😦

Is Perplexity a service where you can only search and see the results, or is it like ChatGPT where you can have conversations? I have tried it and it didn't seem like a conversational tool to me, but I would like to know more. Can you please clarify?

[pulsar pendant]

For me it worked better when I used whole sentences to ask, and it could even make lesson-plans and presentations.

When I corrected it, it seemed to understand the problem and in the same thread, when I asked again, it gave me the right answer.

[dense kraken]

It uses similar underlying technologies (a language model) as ChatGPT. It can understand context, and it can generate creative outputs, just like ChatGPT can.
I'd say just try feeding whatever prompt you feel like, and see what comes out of it.

[pallid spindle]

From what I understand it essentially does a web search for whatever you enter, and uses the information in the results in its response in whatever way is most appropriate for the answer - so it has both creative capabilities and search engine capabilities

[wild robin]

what is this for?

April 1st 2040 ❓❓❓❓

I don't know what's in the reddit post, but if you click into it you might be able to see what went wrong in there.

[olive hazel]

Yeah, D.A.N

That the source it's provided

[dense kraken]

The underlying language model, GPT3.5, is trained with data up to 2021, but Perplexity also has access to live web search results, making it able to know what happened past 2021. However, not all search results are good (I've seen it giving outdated info from an outdated source about a video game)

This reply from the DAN reddit post might be what misled Perplexity to say 2040.

[dense kraken]

... #😎│cool-projects it feels like there needs to be some more rules/guidelines and moderation there

• are there types of projects that should be banned from posting there outright? eg anything to do with crypto, whether it's legit or scam?
• are there types of messages/contents that should be banned from posting there? eg discord invite links? "looking for people"?
• should one only post things that they are actually working on, or can one also post things they found but doesn't work on?
• should there be some restrictions to the channel's posting permissions? eg, have a bot that only allows people to post in there after some condition (joining for X time, posting X messages, or reaching level X on some kind of level bot, for example)?

[magic obsidian]

I have a question.

1. Is Perplexity its own artificial intelligence model? Or does it use OpenAI's GPT model?
2. can Perplexity read entire PDFs? For example, papers with more than 100 pages.

[dense kraken]

People say Perplexity is based on OpenAI's GPT3.5 Turbo. Asking Perplexity "who is your developer" also gives a response that names OpenAI. However, Perplexity does add stuff on top of the model, such as giving the model relevant search results alongside your prompt.
Perplexity cannot read your local PDF files. However, if a PDF is publicly available on the internet, you can give it the URL of that PDF (eg, ask "summarize [URL to pdf]"), or use the Chrome extension when viewing the pdf in a browser tab. (note that academic papers might be locked behind a login, which might affect whether Perplexity can access it.)

#💬│general message

[plain slate]

Though weirdly I have never really thought of tech minded people using iPhone instead of android.
Only have one mate who is not really tech minded and up until recently he was the only one of us on apple lol

[tame current]

Hi

Please make app for Android

[signal imp]

Eh, plenty of tech people went to macs when Apple put unix into the base of the desktop OS (not to mention lately M1 being nice for AI). Then it is just nice to have a consistent ecosystem, so people end up with iOS too.

[plain slate]

I guess just can't imagine tech minded people choosing apple over android given the capabilities. Having said that I know there is a few stable diffusion apps on apple that run natively... perhaps apple have some ai chip support that makes them more viable for this stuff

Hopefully the android version won't be too far away no matter the reason for ios first.

[signal imp]

I also don't necessarily need stuff running native on the phone. I don't have a great graphics card, so I'm using Colab anyway and Auto1111 is fine in a browser on a tablet

[plain slate]

True. Though always been a local is better person myself lol

[signal imp]

Definitely.. will be curious to see how Alpaca and such evolves

[plain slate]

Also if you like to tinker... try comfyui over auto1111 it allows for more complex node based processes that get better results (faster too) should work in colab

[hollow mica]

You sound rather condescending, you are making a negative assumption about the choice of tech-savvy individuals who use iOS.

There are many of us.

[plain slate]

Not meant that way.

[signal imp]

Toolformer paper was with a 7b model, so I'm hoping a model augmented with tools can get us farther on a local machine

[hollow mica]

Ok - it reads as borderline troll bait.

[plain slate]

Very much not meant in that way!

[hollow mica]

👌 I won't take it that way 🙂

[signal imp]

@hollow mica I've been around enough tech/neurodiv peeps to get a pretty good sense. Troll would act diff

[plain slate]

Had not read that one but just skimmed through the opening paragraph and bookmarked to read later... interesting idea but would flood many api's?

[signal imp]

I'm not 100% sure it is exactly the same (need to re-read), but effectively ends up pretty similar to the new plugins feature (and stuff like langchain) that OpenAI just introduced

[plain slate]

Mind you I am thinking the ai would make tons of requests a nano second...but with caching them and re-using similar requests....hmmm I need to read the whole paper lol

This one https://paperswithcode.com/paper/toolformer-language-models-can-teach

?

I Might be looking at the wrong paper lol

[signal imp]

Yup that's the one. To get a sense of how it can work with other systems, here is how the integration of Wolfram Alpha looks like with ChatGPT: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/03/chatgpt-gets-its-wolfram-superpowers/

And actually Perplexity and Bing are doing a similar thing. Basically telling the LLM "hey, if you need more info, do a search by putting something like search:foo in the reply" and then the search result and context is sent back into the LLM

GPT3.5 can do it with a little more hand-holding (like showing a couple of explicit examples in the original prompt) while GPT4 it can infer more by a description of the tag needed for the tool without explicit examples

[plain slate]

Had a quick read.... didn't actually realise chatgpt had been making up statistics (not used it much) the integration seems rather essential

[signal imp]

Yeah, gotta be careful. If you ask ChatGPT to look at a url, it'll actually look at the contents of the url itself and make up what it thinks the page would be

Still a lot of work to do on the "I don't know" reply lol.

[plain slate]

Biggest limitation I have hit with it is the text input limit when converting large texts to different styles (helping a mate with a D&D write up and another with a server based on an open source game engine)
Not much factual stuff needed for that but weirdly fun

Have heard the text limit (which is the token limit I believe?) Has increased in gpt4

[signal imp]

Yeah.. the default is 8k or so and can ask for access to the 32k one

[plain slate]

I think the ultimate goal should be removing the limit fully, though I do not know enough of the inner workings to know how feasible that is.....and I am guessing that makes it less and less likely to be able to run locally

Tried a few "chatgpt local alternatives" and the responses have been amusing at best.

I still find it hard to wrap my head around the difference in size for a image generation model vs an OK at best text model.

[signal imp]

I think Alpaca 13b is supposed to be ok-ish, though someone claimed the default settings on the cpp one were not good

[plain slate]

Not sure which ones I tried, not at my PC, but I tried a few... none even close to chatgpt

[signal imp]

I'm sure there will be more work on trimming size as time goes on and more is learned, especially with the more open source people going at it. I think there hasn't been as much downward pressure with the centralized models

I saw some paper that claimed you could halve the size of most LLMs with no difference in functionality

This is another thing where tools may help. Like how much knowledge can you externalize from the model itself and still get higher level cognitive abilities..

[near horizon]

Its iOS for compatibility & stability. Too many android flavours and modded versions. IOS is easier to code for.

[plain slate]

Most likely, I mean for real world example you only need to look at how the sizes of stable diffusion models have shrunk.
If specific use cases could then be added as extras (thinking Lora's in stable diffusion here where you train specifics that can be used in almost all models) then that would reduce the vram needed significantly.
That would make each ai install very specific though

[signal imp]

Yeah.. and I guess LoRA was actually developed for LLMs originally

There is a lot missing too from most diffusion models. Like try to generate a yo-yo or cuttlefish with W-shaped eyes, etc. We're very centered on humans and certain animals and certain objects and locations. In text, it feels a bit less centered, with people going in all directions of knowledge and wanting to go in depth, so I think it is more obvious what is missing

[plain slate]

tbh coding for android is not that hard. Your chosen sdk (there's some issues with that in a sec) shows what phones you support.
You don't need to worry about all the variations out there as the sdk handles it all.

...the issue, Google keep changing the target sdk and when you update it can mean a year or two down the line you have a ton of depreciated code.... not an issue for ai that moves way too fast to be still using the same code a year from now... but an issue I have faced on a few of my apps

[near horizon]

It may not be "difficult" but ios is simpler process so it's first out. Most projects do it this way.

[plain slate]

Yeah, and the image generation guides are far too ...let's say...aimed at animated people generation. Which influences models created. Due to that most guides are 1.5 guides (despite 2.1 prompting being infinitely better) leading to tools aimed at the most used version rather than newer tech.

Control net would be a great example of that.

[signal imp]

As one video said.. tech driven by "the weebs and the horny people" lol

[plain slate]

Indeed

The amount of guides I have followed them needed to adapt to 2.1 while understanding what is under the hood .... well...typing that I realise I probably learnt more that way

[signal imp]

Does seem to be changing slowly. I think most of ControlNet is working for 2.1 now too. Illuminati Diffusion has been pretty popular and for 2.1, etc.

[plain slate]

I have learnt that if I want someone to check out my comfyui flow and give advice I need to change the target subject to a woman... that's probably an Internet issue though rather than a specific group lol

[signal imp]

We'll see what happens when SDXL is officially released. It may be that most will jump over 2.1 and go straight to that. Though depends on the requirements of the model too

[plain slate]

Yeah there is controlnet models (unofficial) for 2.1

[plain slate]

If you drop this into comfyui it will show the flow I am using for control net 2.1 (might need custom nodes though, can't remember if I used any)

But that started life as an anime example on 1.5 had to do a lot to get it to 2.1

I think when stable diffusion release the next model (in training at the minute) we may get a shift to the latest stuff.... may

[plain slate]

Yeah the jump from 512x512 to 768x768 had a bit if an effect on people. But larger images are do able with out too much issue.
Sd upscale script in auto1111 and the tiled encoder/decoders in comfyui all use tricks to get larger images working with limited vram

There's even ways to train images on less than 6gb vram now, something thought impossible a month ago lol.
I think text ai is moving at a much slower pace though.

Or it may just be a case of the feeds I see are all image gen this, image gen that.... text gen is less glamorous, less likely to get "clicks" even if its more amazing to myself when you can convert a whole introduction to a book from your personal style to that of Terry Prattchet, spike milligan or a call of the cathulu novel.
We even converted an introduction to a D&D write up to a friends script.
The ai understood the content enough to completely set it up and even had phoebe interrupt with "oh I hate it when viscount are evil" showing it understood the parts of the story specific characters would reference.
(Yeah that impressed me a ton even if it's an incredibly geeky thing to be impressed by)

I also found that ai like chatgpt deals well with my dyslexia, in ways that spellcheckers do not. I am sure I have misspelled some of those names.

[dense kraken]

unpopular opinion, but I think I kinda prefer a lot of things to be done within my browser, instead of downloading an individual app for every service I use?

[plain slate]

Depends on the app for me... if its just a Web view disguised as an app then totally agree...
But a dedicated app using an api... that can have a lot of benifits

has just seen the time.. interesting chat but must go

[tawny sluice]

https://www.perplexity.ai/blog

[vocal jetty]

I also agree with this.

[ornate briar]

Hi 🙂 been lurking for a while, and using Perplexity for a bit longer, but first time I've wanted to ask something. Great work on the iPhone app release btw. The question I had relates to the iPhone app actually - I was wondering what app usage data specifically (ie, what product interactions and what constitutes 'other' interactions) is linked to your identity (apple id etc)? For example, by product or other interactions, would this include every question you ask? 🙂

My query really stems from the ever increasing problem of our personal information being captured and stored online, coupled with the amount of hacking we've seen in recent years - a lot of personal information being stolen. Quite the dilemma. I did read some of the Privacy Policy for Perplexity, and I saw that the links clicked was specifically mentioned, and it does say identification information is stored as well, but it skirts around how those data are relational or not. I think it's implied that they are linked together, under the mention of personalisation. Understand where I'm going here? Asking a digital assistant any question you ever wondered is great, it's amazing truly, but I worry about centralised entities holding on to records of every question an identifiable individual asks, and the potential issues that might have if the information was ever stolen. Just food for thought.

[vocal jetty]

When it comes to any of these services, or even data collection as a whole, you're better off assuming that the public is going to read tomorrow what you've written today. If your concerns are of that nature, your best defense is your own, layered with the defenses of a platform and any medians that data passes through. Even then, it's probably too late to worry about that, considering the data you've dispersed throughout the internet all of the time before you were becoming aware of said issues. 🤷‍♀️ Also just food for thought.

[ornate briar]

haha, answered just like a politician - not even an answer to the question I asked. 🙂

[vocal jetty]

I have no affiliation with the service. I'm just another person like you.

Either way, you can do your own research or dismiss me. I don't mind either way.

[ornate briar]

I'm not trying to criticise the tool, not at all. And regards to doing my own research, that's clearly what I'm doing.

[ornate briar]

I don't want to dismiss what you've said, it's definitely true, and I'm certainly aware very much of that. But at the same time I know that we can't change the past, so there's not much point in reflecting on all of the information we've previously dispersed throughout the internet. What we can do is improve the future though. The ethical dilemma inside my query sort of presents a new challenge or opportunity too, potentially a new project or solution - how can we provide this technology to all, in a way where people can maintain their anonymity? Definitely something I'm going to think on and talk to colleagues about.

[true lark]

Just wanted to say that I love Perplexity AI. I love the interface and design, and how "snappy" responses are. I appreciate the simple, modern, and uncluttered interface.

Just curious, what's the underlying model in Perplexity?

Is it a fine-tuned GPT-3 variant?

Seems customized

Any plans for GPT-4 integrations at some point in the future? I know the latency is much higher with GPT-4 and it's not the perfect fit for every product.

[ornate briar]

its actually both 🙂

[true lark]

Both? At once? I'm not an expert in AI/LLM stuff, how is that possible?

[ornate briar]

well... hmm. nether am I to be honest but I am sure I read it used GPT as well as their own model. 🙂 More reading required 😛

[vocal jetty]

I think that anonymity is going to be difficult to preserve. For example, any service, such as OpenAI, that uses a phone number is also using an identifier more globally unique than your real name. Using a VPN won't change anything when you sign into a service or use an app that has access to your phone number, for example. That data can be most-certainly tied to you. I do agree that we should be looking forward as to how to ethically preserve our privacy though, for sure.

[ornate briar]

Yeah it's a hard nut to crack isn't it. I'm not sure what a good solution is. A tool and service like this must cost a fortune to make and run, which also makes it difficult - who pays? how is funding given? and how does that effect who can access it. That side of things get's in the way of the privacy probably. Dunno 😵‍💫

[vocal jetty]

Considering that 72% of the world's data is user-generated, I would again suggest that users themselves take a bit more care, moving forward. That's the most immediate course of action that we can take, that is.

[ornate briar]

definitely true. yes.

Hey guys. I wanted your advice on ai development. When I use ai chatbots like perplexity, bing ai, chatgpt, I see myself doing AI development in the future (because I find these models cool and I want to be a part of its development too). Open AI even has their api that anyone can use as we speak. So in order to learn how to get the best out of open ai api or any ai's api for that matter, I should learn ai development first, right?

I am sorry if anyone finds this question dumb or too obvious to answer.

[thorny bridge]

My UI designer and I are fawning over this

[tame current]

How much is perplexity accurate? And how do you gain money to run the service?

[dense kraken]

Like most AIs, Perplexity makes mistakes due to the imperfect nature of the language model and its training data; and if there are web search results that are wrong or misleading, it's likely that Perplexity will also be mislead into giving you wrong information.

Make your own judgement when using any chat bots like Perplexity.
If you are asking about a serious medical or legal question, probably consult an actual doctor or lawyer.
If you are generating computer code, inspect it and debug it because there will very likely be bugs.

1. Is there a way to save / access previous threads in Perplexity and/or Phind?

2. Can either Perplexity or Phind review a PDF doc, and then answer specific questions based on the info in there (rather than having to paste in lots of text)?

3. Is there a way for 2 people (on different laptops / locations) access the same chat thread? Bit like a whatsapp group?

[dense kraken]

What is Phind, is it a Perplexity product?
For Perplexity,

1. Keep a share URL before you leave the thread, then you can read it later. However I don't know what determines whether you can still type when you open a URL, sometimes I open one and it's read-only
2. Yes. Either paste in the URL in your prompt, or use the Chrome extension. The PDF has to be publicly available on the internet, local file doesn't work
3. No, for now. You can dump your ideas in #👉│feedback-general

Disclaimer, I'm not a Perplexity team member.

How does perplexity make Money?

[dense kraken]

idk, I wonder that too

no team member is online...

[livid swan]

They've secured funding from investors for research and to develop a service for knowledge and answer discovery. You can read more on the site https://www.perplexity.ai/blog

While it doesn't state how or if they are making money (as in profits), I would assume that would come further down the line once the platform is more fleshed out and they have a marketable service. This is just my 2 second observation, take with a grain of salt.

[dense kraken]

Here, on the other hand, is what the bot itself says about their business model:

The best mobile AI app out there right now is @perplexity_ai

It’s ChatGPT + Google or Bing on steroids.

Search Engine + AI

No distractions, clean UI, drill down inquiries automatically or you can do your own queries

And it’s FREE. Wow.

thank you!

[thorny bridge]

Do you mind if I send you a dm denis?

[tepid inlet]

I can't get chatsonic to work, anyone else with the problem?

[forest lark]

got to say that perplexity is pretty darn good

[tame current]

hey people, i have a question, i want to make a cli tool for perplexity, but i have no clue where to get an api key or anything, how do i do this ?

[tame current]

im only guessing there is an api key because https://api.perplexity.ai/#/default/completions_completions_post says ppl_api_key although 0 clue what that means lol

#👉│feedback-general message ah, no api access, well, sorry to bother yall

[mellow kraken]

this bot is useful to find some journal articles but apart from that it isnt smart enough to do much

if i ask something but the information is wrong, the AI will keep providing me with the same wrong information instead of adjusting

[strong pond]

So just curious Alex, how do you guys provide such a massive service for free? This must be costing a LOT in api fees right?

[tame current]

still eould be quite useful

[tame current]

lets say i theoredically figured out how so talk to the api ( as i messed around with it yesterday and figured some stuff out ), would that make me in violation of perplex ToS or anything like that

[tame current]

i found something while looking for it before
idr it rlly but i think you can find it by looking it up

[tame current]

@patent shore you seem to be important what do you think

[craggy pollen]

Imagine having Perplexity AI on android, that would be cool 👀

[honest yoke]

is Perplexity AI provides API?

[neat elk]

hi could you dm me please?

[tame current]

i wasnt able to figure anything out dw

i thought i could use the socket.io socket but eh i just gave up lol

i kept getting 400 s and i just got bored

[patent shore]

I'd wait until we officially release a public API. You will subject you IP to be blocked by the bot protection even if you figure how to use our sockets

[tame current]

ah okay
well ill just wait i guess

[scarlet zephyr]

Can I make some suggestions?

[tame current]

#👉│feedback-general yes

[scarlet zephyr]

Okay thanks!

Hi

[plain sand]

مرحبا

[random tinsel]

Hey, i'm wondering something. Why is Perplexity free and how long will it last? (I hope it always stays like that way, but I don't think it will.)

[dense kraken]

According to the site's blog, Perplexity got money from investments, and according to the AI itself, Perplexity sells its service as some sort of business solution or something.
Tho no solid idea on whether the search/chat interface for regular consumers will get limited/paywalled in the future...

I do hope Perplexity's to-business side of their business can earn enough so that the to-customer side can remain accessible

[oblique coral]

when do you plan on releasing one

[brazen shoal]

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but what is the backend of Perplexity? Is it a proprietary LLM? or does it work off of existing models, either through open source or something locally hosted like LlaMA (but not LlaMA, I'm aware they're non-comercial ATM)?

[gusty blaze]

No, it’s GPT-3.5. I think they’re using a Google search API (less sure of this). There’s a lot of Perplexity tweaks and optimisations to this pipeline which I don’t know. There must be some way Perplexity is this fast.

I got this info off of one interview video the founder did.

Hey,

I’m just some random guy. I really like Perplexity and have been finding it very valuable to me since I started using it a few days ago. I really really want them to stand in front of Microsoft and Google and possibly break the impending duopoly in AI search. There’s a lot of value in Perplexity and I hope they don’t screw it up.

[final dune]

Maybe something like Langchain for combining Google search API with LLM (probably GPT-3.5)

Do you know what they used for the front ? It's really amazing !

[brazen shoal]

It's faster than any GPT implementation I've seen, though maybe one of the older models is close now. I suspect that yes, it's something like langchain under the hood. As for the front-end, I've no idea :/

[final dune]

I got my answer from previous messages they are using React and Typescript for the front. Not sure if team members are reading but well done for the app guys!

[ashen fractal]

Perplexity doesnt work on google chrome is that normal ?

[neat elk]

what is the problem you are experiencing ?

[neat elk]

we don't use langchain

[green crystal]

i see that claude has an api. has there been discussions how it can be used for perplexity at maybe some point in the future? claude seems to be more flexible than GPT while still being safe.

[tame current]

is perplexity better than phind?

dead chat

[ashen fractal]

it work now sorry, i couldnt "enter" any messages

[torn tapir]

The bot produced citations that seems spammy. Even when it refused to answer, it cited a spammy youtube channel.

[dense kraken]

My understanding is, the "citations" are provided by a different process, and is fed to the language model along with your prompt. Even if the language model decides to not use the sources, it will still be displayed in there.

If you are on web: if a source is spam, click the downvote button on a response, and explain the issue in the feedback box that pops up.

[elder totem]

Hello guys 👋 I'm really fascinated by the Perplexity, how it works and its features.
What I was wondering - how does follow-up question highlight works? I'm talking about this underlined terms.
Already tried telling text-davinci-003 to highlight possible follow-up terms, but seems like it is not reliable or doesn't work at all. Perplexity output seems so fast that i doubt it is done during post-processing. Or maybe I am mistaken 🤔

Discord search doesn't seem helpful for me, so couldn't find if this question was asked before 😬

[hybrid shard]

Hello, who should I get in touch with about a possible partnership here?

[solemn oyster]

@long sierra @patent shore are you considering a plugin?

Hi everyone! It really helps the team when you compare Perplexity's responses alongside other chatbots and services and share the results in #💬│general , #💗│sharing , or feedback channels. This way, we can see where it excels and where the improvements are needed, moving closer to becoming the most trusted answer engine, helpful for your needs.

Thanks for reporting, @torn tapir , this is very important for us. Please report such cases with the button that @dense kraken mentioned (thank you!). You can also report it with a permalink in our feedback channels, we'll check it and take action.

[light latch]

Perplexity's AI is very good, I use it for programming and I think it's better than ChatGPT 3.5. However, I suggest changing the input type in the form to a text area, as it is difficult to work with a single-line input search when writing large amounts of text. Thank you!

[twin hedge]

Hey Guys! How Do I Add PerplexityAI And DreamPerplexityAI To My Personal Server?

[dense kraken]

Short answer: you can't now, just wait
Long answer: The bots aren't verified by Discord yet (we are waiting for that to happen), and until it's verified, it can't be added to more servers.

Edit for context now that it's pinned: someone asked how they can add the bots to their server

[wanton forge]

hello

[maiden echo]

[hoary holly]

I think the text field could warp to a text box after the content is a certain length. Plus it could be toggled

[misty walrus]

how long will perplexity ai stay free for? i love this service

[drifting breach]

the results are now better since the last time I used perplexity

did you guys implemented similarity search?

or still the snippet thing

[twin hedge]

thanks bud

yeah these bots are wicked so i'd love to add them to my own server

is DreamPerplexityAI only on discord? is there an app for it?

hey @signal hamlet what country are you guys based out of

[neat elk]

we are an US based company, you can find more here https://www.perplexity.ai/about

[twin hedge]

oh i thought you guys were european

like Dutch or German or something

[neat elk]

yes, we implemented many things to improve quality, many more to come!

[twin hedge]

are you guys a super massive company? with loads of employees? or are there not that many

nevermind it says on the website

[twin hedge]

how did the r/chatgpt discord get it?

[neat elk]

they are one of the first who added our bot, discord is being very slow with our verification, but hopefully we will get our bot verified soon

[neat elk]

we are committed to keep it running for free

[twin hedge]

but how did they get it? is there not a way for anyone else to?

[neat elk]

discord allows an unverified bot to be added to up to 250 servers, unfortunately (or fortunately 😄 ) we run out of the 250 slots very quickly and now need to pass the verification of the bot to remove this limit.

[twin hedge]

[neat elk]

Hey everyone! I was wondering, does Perplexity use the Open AI API to generate its answers?

[restive locust]

Any time line on an android version?

[zealous topaz]

spanish?

[olive hazel]

Perplexity YouTube source led to this 13 views YouTube video

Idk why Perplexity bring source to a very few views video

[tame current]

Not sure about video but for archives, it's useful.

Like google tried to avoid websites especially archives which are not in HTML-5 or with advanced CSS, you know, basically a pretty website.

I don't face this issue in perplexity so that's why I prefer it over google. I haven't searched for videos so cannot say how that goes.

[dense kraken]

Supposedly not OpenAI's API, but also supposedly it's GPT 3.5. Not sure how they have a version of GPT that doesn't rely on OpenAI's servers.

[dense kraken]

Perplexity's sources is basically a web search. If somehow this video turns out to be top 5 result for your query, it might just as well be in the sources...

[dense kraken]

There are no Spanish channels on this server.
The AI does understand Spanish. You can add "en espanol" to your prompt to ask it to respond in Spanish.

Somewhat common questions I see in this discord
Disclaimer, I'm not part of Perplexity team, what I say is not official.

What technologies does Perplexity use?
People say it's GPT 3.5, but it's never confirmed by a Perplexity team member - but at the very least it uses a large language model similar to GPT. It's also enhanced by web search results. Perplexity team members have said that they don't use OpenAI APIs nor Google APIs.

Does Perplexity understand [language]?
Likely yes. Add "in [language]", eg "in spanish" "in french" (or your language's equivalent) in your prompt to ask the AI to respond in your language.

Can it summarize a page?
Yes, ask "summarize" + URL to the page, or click "summarize" on the Chrome extension.

Can it summarize a PDF?
Yes, do the same as above. The PDF has to be publicly available online; it doesn't work with your local file.

Can I save a thread to read later?
They'll probably add this feature in the future.
Workaround: save a share link before you leave a thread.

Can I have the discord bot take into account my previous questions?
Create a thread.

How does Perplexity make money?
According to their own AI, they take investment money, and they sell their service as some business solution.

[thorn egret]

is there way to make perplexity regenerate the response?

[deft token]

I’m new here. I had a few questions -

It is quite clear that Perplexity AI uses a Google search call at the backend to calculate the search results. This is easily verifiable using a few tail queries. Then it “combines” the results using GPT4 (and some in house small models).

Is it legal to use Google search as a backend API?

[tame current]

yes (?) then why would they offer an api?

I have another question, are you using kotlin for the android app development? I would like to learn that.

[dense kraken]

As far as I'm aware, some Perplexity team members have said that they use neither OpenAI's nor Google's APIs.

... Questions for the devs. Sometimes the AI's response gets cut off.

• At this point, I should ask "continue" to let the AI finish?
• What if the thing that got cut off is the "detailed" response? What should I do, do I still ask "continue" or something else? Does the AI's context when I ask follow up questions include their "detailed" response?

[copper mist]

can we add dream bot on my own server?

[main sapphire]

Perplexity understands Spanish and handles it like a bilingual, it's wonderful! I realized that it is not universal with the language of its sources, if you ask a very specialized question in Spanish whose source is in Spanish, you receive the right answer , but if you ask the same question in English, if it doesn’t find the answer in english sources , it says that it didn’t find an answer, when it was in a specialized source of the subject in Spanish.

[covert ore]

Yesterday i was able to fix a bug that we had on production of our service, all thanks to Perplexity. I gave the same prompt to Bing AI, ChatGPT (the non-paid version), but both gave me some answers that were not useful. Perplexity on the other hand gave me 3 reasons why that bug might be happening. It also gave me 1 line of code which fixed it.

Thank you for increasing the character limit ❤️

[dim basalt]

Can I provide perplexity with a list of websites to get the answers from? I mean rather than searching all over the internet where some resources will be less reliable?

[neat elk]

you can use site:reddit.com for example

[dense kraken]

Question: when I share a thread, do I share a snapshot of the thread when I share it, or does the shared thread update with whatever edits and follow-ups I add after?
I'm not sure if a "share a snapshot that isn't affect by actions later" is a good feature to ask for.

[clever lagoon]

Hola

[woeful flare]

You can prompt it by saying, response should not exceed 1000 words

[tardy ravine]

Thanks! well, on the other hand, I do not like when the response is being cut off abruptly, so I am thinking maybe there are settings where you can specify the length of response

Is there a way to control the length of the response I get from Perplexity? Some responses just being cut off without finishing it

[woeful flare]

i doubt there is a setting, you have to specify the length of response you require based on the topic

[near glacier]

Hey all.

Does having an existing thread enable the app to know the context or can I just start within the middle & it will guess?

[neat elk]

working hard on it, so hopefully in a couple of weeks

[neat elk]

next week, stay tuned

[maiden valley]

Looking forward to it.
I tried to get Perplexity to write some C code with promising but mixed results.
In essence Perplexity / GPT-3.5 cannot come up with code that will print PI 1000 decimals.

[neat elk]

could you share your query so I can test it with gpt 4

[maiden valley]

Sure I posted it on Twitter

[maiden valley]

https://twitter.com/ZarStart/status/1645128636008222720?s=20

First relevant query title: write C code PI generate 100000 decimal

ZarStart (@ZarStart)

However perplexity seems proficient in C coding.

Untested code:

https://t.co/w0T9PzTmBK

Twitter · Apr 9, 2023, 6:16 PM

[neat elk]

seems to be better

[maiden valley]

All seemed dandy till I actually compiled the code. It only ouputs the decimals stored in the long long variable.

[maiden valley]

For instance:

query

C code C function: PI generate 100000 decimal accurate exact without GM - request estimate computer model function require calculate time inferior one minute

int main() {
    int n = 100000;
    double pi = 0;
    clock_t start, end;
    start = clock();
    for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k) {
        double term1 = 1.0 / pow(16, k);
        double term2 = 4.0 / (8 * k + 1);
        double term3 = 2.0 / (8 * k + 4);
        double term4 = 1.0 / (8 * k + 5);
        double term5 = 1.0 / (8 * k + 6);
        double term = term1 * (term2 - term3 - term4 - term5);
        pi += term;
        end = clock();
        if ((double)(end - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC > 60) {
            printf("Time limit exceeded\n");
            return 0;
        }
    }
    printf("Approximate PI = %.100000f\n", pi);
    return 0;
}

ouputs

Approximate PI = 3.141592653589793115997963468544185161590576171875000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ...

right now it is just a focused search that only uses academic domains, soon it will be much more than that

Since VPN is now blocked for the website, maybe we should be able to authenticate and if authenticated you are allowed to use VPN? Would be easier to track spam/attacks via users. Kind of a bummer I can't use it at work anymore (work requires constant VPN connection).

[warped marsh]

Is Perplexity AI there to solve "search" problem or is it like other AIs too that can write code, make poems and all. I have tried search and it beats any other AI available in the market right now but can't say the same in other "departments". Is Perplexity AI a "search" AI? because if it is then I won't ask it any coding related or creative questions and use it for search instead.

Even explaining complex topics in simple terms is something perplexity can't do. Whenever I ask it to explain me something in simple words, it just searches the web again and gives me a similar response to the previous response.

It would be perfectly okay if perplexity ai only tries to solve the search problem. That is why I am asking whether Perplexity AI is only there to solve search related problems

[signal hamlet]

Hey @obsidian tundra! If you are working on this, that's the link to share in the #😎│cool-projects channel. Please, check the #😃│welcome message and #📙│rules , too.

You guys seem to like it AI

[signal hamlet]

Hi @warped marsh! Thank you for sharing your experience and trying various tasks with Perplexity AI. You're right about the search experience, but search is not its sole purpose.
You can see examples in our channels and use cases provided by other users, we are always working to improve its performance in coding, math, generative tasks, and more.
While it may sometimes lean toward search as its primary domain, we're on it.
Please report any issues you encounter in our feedback channels, we appreciate your input, it helps us to see where we need to improve further.

[warped marsh]

so perplexity is not only for search related queries and you will be making it's coding skills, and other creative skills like writing story, poems and all better?

also it's ability to teach complex topics in simple words

[signal hamlet]

Sure, we'll continue working on improvements.

[pulsar pendant]

Nice! Thank you very much!

[unique raptor]

the UI is really good

[dim basalt]

The focused search feature is great (ie being able to limit the search to wikipedia for example). Any thoughts about making a custom focused search? I know we can use site:example.com to get results from one website domain (I am not sure there is a way to add more than website). But I was wondering if you can allow users to create a list of websites, save them and be able to focus the search.

[unique raptor]

if perplexity is supposed to be a rival to google shouldnt you be able to view videos or sites directly on it? like is it supposed to be a search engine?

I don't think Perplexity is trying to rival Google as much as complement it. Google's indexing is still exceptional and has many uses where using Perplexity would just be overkill - eg. looking for a local restaurant

Just discovered Perplexity a few days ago, and i really have to say im amazed. Not necessarily from the system itself, since i already used ChatGPT to some extend in the past - but rather from the accessibility standpoint, the simplicity of the user interface and of course the including of sources, which enhances the entire experience you gain from it by magnitudes.

Great job, and thanks for this opportunity of using it. I include it in my work-day as a research assistant, spell check and translation tool and overall to just simplify my work as a whole.

Can't wait for it to leave the beta and subscribe to a paid plan.

[thorn egret]

do you think perplexity will get rid of annoying cloudfare at some point?

[pale elm]

it's not annoying

it's there to protect their services from abuse

not only that either

malicious attacks like DDoS's, ICMP attacks

[thorn egret]

but it takes time to close

[pale elm]

it's also a global accelerator

[thorn egret]

google don't use it

[pale elm]

because google has their own global network

[thorn egret]

yep

that my question was about

will perplexity afford it

eventually

[pale elm]

Perplexity won't have a global network lol

Maybe a node or 2 in every major region, but nothing above that

Perplexity will almost very likely always use Cloudflare

[thorn egret]

don't get what you mean by global network, i thought if a company has enough resources to handle ddos etc on their own they'd better opt out cloudfare so it wouldn't impede getting access to the site

Guys, please add some public benchmarking results of your LLM against other solutions (e.g. MMLU and others). There's a lot of fresh closed-, semi- & open-source LLM services sprout up every day based on mixture of different models, hence very soon the market will be oversaturated with offers and it will be crucial to thoroughly test each solution.

Is there any way to send more than 2048 characters ?

[wraith crow]

Hi welcome to the server @narrow cove. Perplexity can help you with coding questions but isn't meant to be used as Github Copilot. Perplexity is more like an ai search engine.

[narrow cove]

Oh I understand. I have tested it. It has nice features especially that 6-topic bar that gives you answers from interet/wiki/etc.

I saw that he know to write good codes for some exercises, but wanted to test it on something harder

[white laurel]

Wow, I just discovered that Perplexity can insert images to the answer (like plot of pdf of normal distribution). But sometimes it can't (for example it can't draw pdf-s of normal and t-student distribution on same plot). I'm curios about how it works and what are the capabilities and limitations of Perplexity in displaying images? Do I understand correctly that it can read html and write simple markdown/html, so it that answer can contain something like !(title)[some_url://image.png] where some_url://image.png, where some_url it found in html code of some web page from search result?

[tame current]

does the "youtube" button search inside videos too or just descriptions ?

[flint rampart]

can someone do me a favor

[storm verge]

Is there a perplexity ai API? If not, will there be one released soon?

[honest pendant]

Did someone have the for android?

[tame current]

I don't yet

[tame current]

Depends on what it is.

[white laurel]

It does not provide API yet ):

[toxic ocean]

is there someway to use my chatgpt api key and subscription to get the chrome plugin (or website) to work with gpt-4?

i.e. switch out the backend?

[strange pecan]

is there Official PHP API available ?

[wraith crow]

Hi @strange pecan, Perplexity doesn't offer an API yet

[strange pecan]

ahh.. Thanks for quick answer 👍

[storm verge]

Thanks… is there an API in the works? If so, any idea of a release date? Right now as a research assistant i am basically implementing what perplexity AI does but as a series of independent API calls first to the search engine then to ChatGPT… this API would be incredibly helpful to use instead

[lofty dagger]

if u guys need any help i getam1 pro and a rtx titan ada

16 GB RAM each

[tame current]

Interesting.

[lofty dagger]

im sad

all my friends on discord think im spoiled

hey

there are so many fake elon channels

that people are saying OMG GPT4 is shutting down

[fallow thunder]

اه

hi

[lofty dagger]

so in my area

its illegal to cough

i coughed

and a freaking van popped out

OMG HE HAS COVID

[near glacier]

no API as far as I've researched

[near glacier]

it's not released yet. They've been made aware of a typo-squatter. Avoid downloading any app until you see an official link on their website or #📢│announcements

@lofty dagger the contents of your messages are not relevant to Perplexity:

Feel free ask us any questions about Perplexity. Don't use the /ask command in here though please.

[near glacier]

how can we help?

[median latch]

good point, in this example they're actually the same source. I've seen it before though, where a summary sentence was corroborated by two sources. How is that accomplished under the hood (and not split in one summary sentences per source)?

[unique thunder]

I love perplexity and you guys thanks for this amazing app the dream thing is also amazing

[echo snow]

Perplexity is the best!

[hazy salmon]

Hello i'm here

[verbal granite]

this thing just judged me, thats primitive thing to do and not so ai

[narrow hedge]

Guys enhancrd mode still limited?

[alpine shell]

What’s the dream thing?

[wraith crow]

He probably is referring to the #🎨│dream channel where you can generate images.

[ripe holly]

it fr just told you "get a life"

[wraith crow]

Yes they're still limited. You get 5 uses and they refill 1 hour after asking the question.

[alpine shell]

Oh, thanks

[unique thunder]

Is perplexity down rn?

My bad it works now

[narrow hedge]

why is that ı even want to pay for it to be use for limitless

ı need that for work

[polar yoke]

Hey All！ I'm new here, just call me Vincent, we are building an open-source DevTools 2.0(combing GPT-4 and Low-code development). Happy to join the community.

[near glacier]

remember to share it #😎│cool-projects and welcome!

[wraith crow]

At the moment there are no paid plans but the Peplexity team will make an announcement once that will change. #💬│general message

[narrow hedge]

its been 2 months already they should do something immediately

[torn cloak]

I hope they don't make paid plans

I want it to be free forever

People like things to be free

Am i right?

I think if Perplexity ai team made perplexity ai not free, people may not use it

Including me

If it's not free i won't use it

[white laurel]

It is absolutely true, but also it worth noticing that renting GPUs for constantly training and improving AI models and running trough model the text data in production for millions of users costs lots of money. (These models are huge, dozens of billions of parameters) I, personally, think, the best way is have both free and paid plans or having a donation page.

I'm not the accountant of perplexity :), but I think expenses are millions of dollars.

[torn cloak]

@white laurel yeah, you're right. I think they should make a donation page

@white laurel Sometimes... I install Ai chatbot apps. And it says :
Premium includes :
GPT-4
Unlimited chat
And more.

I don't like this

I just want all users to be equal

Ok make a donation page but don't add extra features for those who donated

But i think when people use those chatbots, the team who made it makes money. Maybe i don't know

Maybe they don't

I don't really know

[white laurel]

I don't think so. The only thing they obtain is dataset, but it is small, compared to the internet and still need to be filtered to be a good dataset.

The useful thing they collect is likes and dislikes from users, who trying to improve the bot, but I think that is basically only usefull thing.

*IMHO, I don't know how it works.

[torn cloak]

@white laurel What does "IMHO" mean?

[torn cloak]

@signal hamlet Ok, thanks man 👍

[white laurel]

In my humble opinion

[torn cloak]

@white laurel Ok, Thanks 👍

[gusty blaze]

is perplexity pretty slow for anyone else right now?

[hushed needle]

yeah, read the "feedback-general" chat

[neat elk]

the website should be running normally now, please let me know if there are any issues

[lilac dock]

Is there any documentation on how PerplexityAI works on a technical level? I know it uses an LLM to generate response text but there's a list of URLs and NER as well in the results. So I'm wondering how all that interacts.

[hushed needle]

yeah now it works normally, thank you

[fading rose]

It could generate a raw output being a summary of every source, and then be asked to combine it to best answer the question posed by the user

[eternal wren]

Hi

[gusty blaze]

When will the updated iOS version be available?

[pine lodge]

In a few days!

[idle yarrow]

I have been using perplexity for FiveM Lua development, and it has sped up my development 10x. Amazing tool!

[cloud shale]

IS there a way we can pay for unlimited enhanced uses?

Hapilly pay like 20 dollars a month or something

[ember umbra]

What is the free site learning English

[strong pond]

Does anyone know where I can re sign up for the email updates

I have created a new update

[strong pond]

Duo lingo?

[abstract briar]

Its not working for me

[toxic ocean]

hi fam, are threads automatically saved? I.e. can I keep my searches?

[wraith crow]

Hi @toxic ocean, If you're logged in to an account the threads will be saved. You can access all your threads by clicking on the "Your Threads" tab.

[toxic ocean]

oh that is awesome @wraith crow thanks so much.
I love perplexity btw, and most of everyone at Uni I introduced to it too, it makes us all so much more productive especially for academia

[toxic ocean]

I was wondering that too, I have a chatgpt subscription, was wondering if perplexity can just use my api key, I'd also just switch possibly

[neat elk]

we will have it soon, we want to introduce some other killer features first so there is more value. let me see if we can increase the rate limit for now

[toxic ocean]

no worries, I don't actually hit the limit atm, I was just wondering if that makes sense, also because I feel since I have the subscription, it'd be a little kinder on your api costs

also, killer features, woah 🙂 excited to see them

[zenith gulch]

like i already have Perplexity as my default search engine

after the app release, i am uninstalling Google

like bing is slow

[ripe holly]

sheesh

[zenith gulch]

explain this

Perplexity already have the plugin access

why am I studying maths anymore bruh

[terse niche]

Hi. Will there be an Apple Watch app available soon please?

[zenith gulch]

Btw its wrong

first half is right, then he messed up

🦥

[white laurel]

Yep, it says ..... = sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x) = ..... = 1 (which is not true)

It messed up here - tan(x) + cot(x) not equal sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x). The second term will give cos^2(x), needed for the sum to be equal 1
