We deeply believe that open research and weight sharing are fundamental to safe technological innovation. We developed an open-weight variant, FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] - a lightweight 12B diffusion transformer suitable for customization and compatible with previous FLUX.1 [dev] inference code. We open FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] in a private beta release, for research usage and safety testing. Please contact us at kontext-dev@blackforestlabs.ai if youāre interested. Upon public release FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] will be distributed through our partners FAL, Replicate, Runware, DataCrunch, TogetherAI and HuggingFace.
hmm
the open source version still isn't out yet
hopefully soon
Pro and Max are though
I wanna try it out
1.1 pro kind of under delivered imo
Pro is free on lmarena right now
Yes!!
My favorite use case for labs is "create an interactive ui for..." i usually start the day with "create an interactive UI for today's news"
It is the best no BS news source haha

Damn -30 per month
I am p sure that i used more than 50 nowš
Still worth it for me haha you can ask it for 2 UIs too with a sibgle prompt, never tried 3
Still waiting for the o3 pro
Interesting

So yeah for search nothing cones close to perplexity for me
Send a sample prompt
Mood
My team leader in team got it
Or not
Yet to get it
Iām the team leader
It's been implemented
Yeah ig depends on region
We'll get it soon mate dw
Us ?
Just gotta wait
Wait few hours bro
š„²
Austria never has shootings wtf
Gemini Pro users are getting access to 3 Veo 3 Fast generations per day instead of a 1-time, 10-pack that was previously available.
o3 Pro is now available on OpenAI Playground and the API!
I am waiting for the event results š
What's the difference bw normal and fast generation
I will ask perplexity the best power and time settings for my microwaved grilled cheese sandwich
One is faster
Only through ai studio?
no idea, ig less powered veo 3
Interesting
Also is edict 1 gone still
I miss the og
Never knee that 800w is preferred
My microwave is only 750w
1200 quik
Hey
Mine is dum dum
Older model
It has a 200w setting too
Oh noo
It slid apart a bit
@dry kestrel @timber niche @twin grail 15/month
should go to Plus as well
It didn't replace o4 mini or o4 mini high right
As long as that's the case im fine with taster
no
o3 is there as well
When will Perplexity support modifying answers?
Every time I make changes while writing, I have to resend my modified content, which is really troublesome
It does support
probably meant canvas
Did pplx ever help you manage your finance, or make money?
Lol no
Literally
Is the cursor discount no longer availablešµāš«
I think this is deception
where did u find that
It's long gone
Two or three weeks ago, it was said that it would be available later
they actually removed the entire pro perks thing i think
It's only for USA
Might need vpn
fuck trump
This belongs to malicious marketingš«µ
Damn
Meanwhile perplexity giving 400 O3 per day.
Yeah
Yeah I was thinking
I thought O3 was 100 per week.
It was originally 50 per week.
Double of that is 100.
Unless they doubled it again.
Oh.
@cobalt vale https://www.perplexity.ai/search/which-android-skin-has-best-ba-Gc30xWqbQ9asqVoZAZUBag?0=d#3
It shit the bed again.
Fr?
mf let me invite you to Team sub
Pretty sure there's something inside perplexity causing this.
200 is great imo
Give me a day.
I'm coping with the self loathing.
I was hitting 100 but just barely
So 200 is great
I must spam monte carlo sims now
I use o3 to estimate elections often
It has been surprisingly good
Only from attendance data it was able to +-1%
sounds like something o3 would excel at
Did the support help yet?
I reported via the bank app for now.
I'll email open ai later today.
Good
U better, add all those billings visible to u in messages
I'll keep her.
Dang
was cancelled
How to get PRO role on discord?
is there any guide that optomises perplexity to what you want?
rare Theo W
u already got it
dang
optimise in what way?
Guys
Custom instructions
How did 4o reason??
So, how's everyone doing?
Any model can reason if you write a good enough prompt.
I have custom instructions to make 4o reason.
In prompting?
I asked it a very random question to test speed
In space if you are using perplexity.
Does perplexity have the ability ti humanize a text?
In settings there's option to personalize
Put #1360871819598364672 message in custom instructions and watch a non reasoning model act like a reasoning model.
Pplx
I thought it's more about "tell us about yourself" than custom instructions.
Thatās not whatās happening in ChatGPT though
Guys, how do I remove my card from the payment methods in the API settings? The edit button prompts me to add a new card...
Wdym?
Oh that.
Oh okay haha
I believe they just have a very refined cot instruction.
It was promptless for me
And the thinking part can be included in the response or have a dedicated section.
No shot
Ah
I think it kinda is, to plan web searches
I saw this actually.
Did they change stuff for 4o
I thought it was automatically enabling o4 mini.
Mm could be
Oh i see
Yeah idk whatās going on with it
Multi step search ā Reasoning
actually it might be possible that o4-mini is so fast and cheap that they are using it to improve search query accuracy
Thanks, I checked out your prompt. But I get the feeling that it doesn't suit academic text? Any prompt for academic texts?
Did it's price drop again?
Idk about academic but this is my basic sys prompt:
no but it's cheaper per token than 4o
They're number 1. They have that pressure of staying in that spot.
Verify all answers with multiple web sources. Maintain a rational, critical stance, avoiding friendliness. Do not endorse user claims beyond official documentation. Actively attempt to disprove claims first; only confirm if disproof fails. Provide deeply technical responses for all topics.
I want gpt 5 to be outtt
O3 cheaper than 4o before gta 6
a cheaper non reasoning model pleasee
Mat is way too hopeful for humanity
Deepseek v3
Gpt 5 is supposed to be cheap
Weāre living in crazy times
It eill be a glue model first
I donāt fw it
Yeah itās supposed to have like high intelligence and low intelligence modes etc
Honestly try it
Pplx will stick to low
I actually hope it releases in July
I want them to take time to make it incredible
And the text generated by this prompt passes the AI detectors? Like iThenticate
Even 8B qwen is great if you /no_think
Low int will be like 4o-mini pricing though
I don't think 32k context can utilise gpt 5 but we will see.
i'll give em that W if they increase o3 limits more

Oh no it is not for that haha
Ai detectors are pretty unscientific usually
it probably is July
but o3 is already high
But you cab just reformat manually
So damn cheap that's what they like
thereās not a single model in pplx thatās that cheap 
Yeah rare pplx w
no way...
what is 5+7
Gpt 5 low:
basically gemini setup
Time will tell
Oh no gifs haha
Vc money draining
Peak high or stoned high?
Promo codes abuse
well they said the low intelligence will be unlimited uses for free users (so Iām presuming it has to be really cheap)
Perplexity labs is so W
peak
Sweet
Not unlimited.
It will have rate limits like gpt 4o.
I rrally like labs
You need to stay longer to get unlocked
if that's true then what they mean is GPT-5 mini, a separate model

Nuh uh
B-but Sam said itās gonna be one unified model with tiers of intelligence!!
Mat is Altman
Yeah Iām aravind and Altman
gpt-5 flash
Apple open ai pplx glazer
Altvind
Call me Tim Cook too the way Iām cooking with these names
Atlvind Cooks
just different model sizes trained the same way?
Nooo clue
Time will tell
Come on sam you can tell us
Youāll have to wait for me to open up this note
if you take out the t, k, and u, and then mirror the rest, matsku turns into sam
therefore matsku is sam
they have been saying ''its rolling out this month' for quite a while now. no?
i think i head that at the start of the year
Remove all the letters in baked potato except the a in the baked and add S and M to get Sam
Did they?
you mean the online hype machines
š
Likely
this is so cursed and funny lol
Make a blend of sam, Aravind and Tim Cook
you broke my peprlexity
it gave me granpa sam with mat's clothings

Kekius Maximus ā The Truth Behind Elon Muskās Name Change!
š„ Kekius Maximus ā The Truth Behind Elon Muskās Name Change! š„
Whatās the deal with Kekius Maximus? Did Elon Musk just hint at a new memecoin or a crypto revolution? š¤ Dive into the truth behind this bizarre name change thatās sending shockwaves through the crypto w...
he changed his name?
i bet because a lot of hates were rising
Kelon Kek
But that video is from 5 months ago it seems
Elon has a history of pumping and dumping meme coins.
Literally that's the point of meme coin. It's like pump and dump but legal version
There's no legal
U can do it, and the feds will not hunt you
Nothing matters if thr USA president is doing the same shit
He doesn't do anything. He just changes his display name. People do the rest.
when o3 was added to perplexity, is the real o3 from chatgpt?
He doesn't tell them to buy or sell it.
Yes but context limits apply
32k
and message limits ?
Pro user standard limits
I can say it's unlimited
so the perplexity subsription will be much more worth it than chatgpt ?
Depends how you want to use it
But o3 still have so many tools in chatgpt.
thanks
Btw can someone explain me how these tools work
Like deep research and shit or what
there's no search and tool usage in its reasoning chain
As in o3 isnāt the one doing the searching in perplexity
Hm
search is done using pplx sonar model i think
then gets fed to o3
like how its done for the other models
but that diminishes its agentic nature
Tools explaination pls lol
Python?
I'll have to look into this
does a search
sees info is vague so searches again
sees it needs to calculate something uses python
needs to zoom into an image to have a clear shot
does a search again
etc etc
I wonder why they love me so much
Billys electric bill
Hello mia man
Yeah they are really great, is o3 in chatgpt rate limit get higher tho?
Been for a q while AFAIK
by a measly 2x while the model is 5x cheaper now lol

Yeah they still keep it 100 per week wtf.
allot of people noticed it and are unhappy
they might up it again
its 200 now
It's literally more cheaper than 4o
it should be 400-500 per week
Oh so 200 per week?
yeah
Shit, should be 200 per day
Y'all are ignoring the thinking token costs.
or at the very least match gemini and do it 100 per day
thats why said match gemini lol
its cheaper than gemini 2.5 pro
Yeah, all this time o3 is cheaper but they put a big margin on o3 to higher prices
Sam Altman lying when they said losing money to pro plan 200$
They've to make it up somehow lol
Lol
i'd ask o1 pro to solve 1+1
1000 times?
Nope
Open ai nerfs your account if they detect overuse.
Unusual behaviour detected.
100 per day will still cost them allot 
Shit used to give unusual behaviour detected half of the time.
Totally different issue
Multiple ips one account
Well they detect different IP in one acc. Obviously got detected
You'll just get rate limited for spamming I'm guessing
I thought they would kick out login in that case.

Hey - when I have a voice conversation with Perplexity - it doesn't seem to save the full transcript of that conversation for me to explore further - process through another AI Model. I just had a 20 minute discussion exploring a project - but in the library there's only about 20% showing. This ability to store and re-evaluate the conversations is key to a deeper ability to use AI to work through problems collaboratively, and then get a stronger model to turn that into a full project or output.

anyone used dia beta ?
Yes. I think comet will be better
dia looks like chrome ?
Yes, it runs on the same engine. But visually, it's not overloaded. Very cool UI
But Comet has more agent functions. DIA does not have this yet.
France BANS social media for kids under 15.
Good
dia have vertical tabs ?
next level
thats actually sad
Is o3 still 100 per week
guys what engine does perplexity use when i tell it to make an image? it seems significantly better than any other paid engine i used
U can select it
you can check it in settings
if its on "automatic"?
its 200 a week
gpt image generation is best in perplexity
does gpt allow commercial use do you know
it allows
Ohh it should be butcher most prolly

Perplexity o3 is Pro or not ?
def not pro, shit's expensive af
Yes lol
Normal o3
so sad
someone said o4-mini is higher than o3 .. so why Ppx give us a downgrade
Bruh
Not it's not
It's literally not
No clue what that someone is on about
Someone was high af
oh okay
Higher than o4-mini-high

that's just nuts

Use gemini for the deep research
chatgpt for developing ideas
claude to implement it

Correct
why does your browser has its own border
So, how's everyone doing?
hm ?
beating lab hbu
wdym
He probably means why you have a sidebar in your browser or something like that.
it's vertical feature
Hyd?
Just woke up from nap.
Hope so
Their limits still say 100 per week and it was updated today
what happens when you prss f11 does it disappear?
i meant that there is alreda a border on your screen(prob) + this border on your browser it makes the context looks very tiny it feels like thats how you see it irl
every new browser has that nowadays basically
what time is it for you? evening?
my instinct says comet will not have vertical tabs
Does open ai not have an email? @cobalt vale
I had to talk with a bot. couldn't find option to talk with an actual person.
every browsers have it these days

you emojis are in sync
Lol
compare to respond speed
it surely outplay the o3 model
but for accuracy
Nah
numbers don't lie
o3's hallucination rate is 33 percent, and o4-mini's hallucination rate is 48 percent

there was a twitter post
Because you all asked: we're going to double the rate limits for o3 for Plus users. Rolling out as we speak. Now go do awesome stuff with it!
R1 vs o3
Lol.
wth
Still no o3 pro for me š¦
Hmm
same
Second screenshot is O3.
-0.21 is incorrect
Lol.
told u
O4 mini high might have high hallucination on paper but my actual experience says otherwise.
O3 was wrong.
Guys guys guys
When will result will be announced
We have tried it multiple times before you came.
Ah. Wrong answer thing.
šāāļø yes
The wrong one is o3 right?
Yep
Yes
I don't see why people pay 20 bucks for this thing
Don't get me wrong.
i guess its a PPLX issue?
O3 is better.
No it's not
Cuz it thinks wide.
take a look
But it also has higher error and hallucination rate.
chatgpt still may have limits, api doesnt have any
O4 mini high is more accurate but very narrow minded.
Yeah. I like the wider thinking too.

Any updates

@vague pagoda
@vague pagoda
I want to buy pro but am a broke student rn, perplexity said to ask for a referral/discount code š¦ anyone have one i can apply? š
10$ usd off
it says invalid, is that only with the annual?
Monthly i think
Welcome!
Anyone š„¹
only the 10$ off
no clue
Ohhh
Oh wait dm me
i got smt for u
Try asking pplx lol
if u can prove u're a student
No torn clothes just torn hose
Kick out or block the spammer
Api user?
No
Yeah truly intelligent Siri
Lmao
Best AI ever
Is there any offer for an educator? Well we're from a developing country so $20 for pro is quite not affordable for some people here
I'm not sure
i got mine from samsung offer program
Same
Check with support@perplexity.ai
@vague pagoda is their another email for educators?
The program ended
31/5
was the last day
to get into the refer program
Does it work now without the silly bug? Might get my mom on it if it does
Idk
u can try
i got my pro from that program
hm, will look into it
31/5
was the last day
it ended
Wasnāt that for the referral thing? Signing up does still give 1 month for free I think
it's for student referral
u invite a friend with a vaild edu mail
both signup
both of u got 1 month free
max is 24 months
but the program ended last month
You get 1 month too without inviting anyone
Maybe...?
"May 31, 2025 was the last day to qualify for referral rewards."
Only for the rewards afaik

is that so
is vietnamese edu allowed ?
@sis.hust.edu.vn
Not sure if this email is vaild
But invite to get one month is still valid
I see what you trying to do
Omg that "same" message did give me some hint and now we're both from the same country LOL
wdym
: š
š®
I redeemed the 24month
But when I go to redeem the reward the only payment option is credit card and the minimum amount of transaction is 0.5 usd but the swags are for 40inr smth which is 0.4 usd , so I can't redeem any prize for real???
Also they take very much time to respond to mails
WALLPAPER
get perplexity for a month for free ā
get 50 lab searches for free ā
ai gen?
i think no
nope
Yeah I know
Hopefully it's just bad coordination with team maintaining the site
Oh dang i got ur point
mb
was paying attention to smt else

Dia browser uses GPT 4.1 underneath
How is it?
i don't have access 
is there a way to dictate the model response via voice? its there in the android app but not the web app.
Still able to get rewards codes
I got mine sticker pack when there was no such requirement of minimum 0.5$
And I also got my cap code but they cancelled my order by saying you don't met requirement somthing like that
And support was horrible they keep saying same thing again and again that all I can say
And sticker packs were out of stock but you can redeem cap and shirt
You are selling Perplexity codes for 1 year at $6 each, is there control for these things by Perplexity?
yeah, they usually revoke those codes
this is what happened with the samsung codes
they revoked it all
unless u can provide proof
that u obtained it in a authorized way

Who is selling
there are many of them
6$ for a year
they are selling code
Dont buy them, they usually get revoked
they got from website having events for free perplexity
they abuse that then resell them
0.5$ for a month
6 for a whole year
i mean honestly abuse isnt the word that i would use for a company that provided no security and did not expect this lol they literally did the WHOLE promotion based on one unlimited usage code like HUH at least use one time use codes. who did not see this coming?, even sonar would
It's also true
Whos aid i am going to buy ?
but in another way
I just casually asked
i think that abuse is the best way to talk about that
I already have pro my university gave me
as they abuse perplexity mistake in marketing
and promoting
to gain themselve advantages
Why act so defensive? Was just warning you and others that its going to be a waste of money if you do
@twin grail you got the full gen z package just like me š
why are you speaking in words and spamming
I'm just 19

My head rn
full of korean
so pardon me
iam older than you MWAHAHA
are you interested in korean or native korean?
I'm going to study there
So ye
i'm learning their language
good luck

Apologies if this has been asked a million times before but is there any plan for Perplexity Pro to get o3 pro?
sadly no
Even for me
bought a plus team sub
no sign of o3 pro
Oh nvm
Is anyone still facing issues with perplexity threads slow rates, I barely had 4-5 conversations and chat text has become very to show what I am typing. Rest of the apps are working for me , so it's not the problem with my pc
oh how funny lol
i waited
a whole day
for that
but o3 pro only for pro user
or team sub
u can try it out
I don't show it as an option from a free account but thinking of moving to a pro account
its of chatgpt, not pplx
plus team works fine
ohhhh. gotcha
just 1$ for first month
what do you do? work for PPLX?
u should buy it before the offer end
pplx always tries to minimize budget
we all do
yea but the joke is pplx overdoes it
I don't know that im elgible for the $1 for first month. I've already had chatgpt plus many times in the past.
Here
just fake to netherland
or us
then go to this link
buy it for 1$
and you are the one calling me brainrot all the time??? 
we all do
It just their offer
Wait. When did I call you brain rot?
I call myself brain rot too btw in case that's any comfort.
I was about to argue back
but i realized
it's true
i can't argue that viewpoint
is that a battle HORN??
Or a extra large toy.
its... a battle horn like in those fnatasy games
I never said what kind of toy. š
This user knows how to vibe.
Cya
Goodluck for your goals.

Does anyone know a way to make schematic diagrams with ai for research papers and stuff like not those ai looking images but actual architecture schematics in 2d
Give an example
There are ai tools to make memory maps I think.
Just saying
Alr then
Does open ai have support email? On the website I got only bot and no option for human.
it escalates it if you ask it to
Tell it you need a human
Okay.
Like related to electrical engineering schematic diagram and block diagrams
Yea
Anyone knows if o3 pro will be added?
Exclusive?
Yeah. Sorry.
How do you guys choose which models to add?
Pricing obviously.
Oh wait
What models have been used for the research and labs?
@distant aurora Are you working with perplexity?
Nope
he is sam from pplxš
Oh
Yeah just searched it up it's the CEO of open ai
BTW how do you guys get this PPLX badge which says member of perplexity
i meant the sam from support team not the ceo
Oh
Sam Perpert
nice last name
wouldnt even risk opening
same
Hi there - who can I speak with about advertising on Perplexity? I couldn't find much information about it.
@distant aurora
aka sam perpert
Not allowed here.
true
Goodluck talking to a mod about it if you can't take no for an answer.
He's one man terror squad.
Not sure I'm following. I want to participate in this with a number of brands. Are we talking about the same thing? https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/why-we-re-experimenting-with-advertising
@vague pagoda
Don't worry.
Just wait for his response.
Hey! What you're referring to is currently in a closed beta.
So who is this kesku guy? @distant aurora
pplx team member
Yo

@vague pagoda do you play Minecraft?
yeah, been playing for years lol
because of my old website I never updated probably - check sources!
Where are you from?
Yeah kesku.me is one of the sources
Oh
Huh.
Honestly, I don't mind if they improve the quality.
It's struggling for now.
@cobalt vale @dry kestrel chatgpt fucked up. There's no iphone there.
I feel like upscaling the rate limits did take a hit on the quality.
Wdym by "Why do you want to know?"
Why do you want to know?
o3 I see. @distant aurora how do we (assuming I'll share your view) like this one on pplx? Working well or it's still a grok3/Gemini 2.5 pro situation depending on the question?
Did u joined teams yet?
what model is this lmao
o3?
Perplexity was o3. Chatgpt was o4 mini.
On the official website of perplexity.ai with ad blocker
I will tomorrow.
ah
Don't worry, it fucked up successfully.
haha
More than half of the battery capacities are false.
Damnnn
Okay
It was digested for one person
Here. Take a look yourself. Do one thing. Upload the response to O3 on chatgpt and ask it to verify the capacities.
Hi
It's better than the other models. There are some problems though.
waddup i'm new in all of this. what's the difference between normal perplexity and the playground version?? like whats the goal with the playground one? sorry if its a kinda dumb question
Why do you always ask about phone battery capacities to these ai? Is it some kind of your job or is it just to know the best phone
I'm a tech enthusiast. I just don't have the money or skills to be a content creator.
Hmm
And it's a heavy prompt so I use it as a benchmark for research/deepsearch capabilities.
Do you know 3 blue 1 brown?
Nope.
Pretty good channel
What is it about?
Search it up, it's the best content to understand different concepts from maths field and the animations are from manim Library of python which he made himself to make animations
For ai ml enthusiasts
He did it all by himself
hm
@vague pagoda can you take a look at this? Since you worked at open ai before. #š¬āgeneral message
Yeah, I was just asking if you were aware of anything similar.
not seen a case like that before

- Elimination of Battery Replacement Surgeries: This is the most significant benefit, reducing patient discomfort, risks, and healthcare costs over a lifetime.
- Potential for Lifetime Operation: If the energy harvesting is efficient and the device itself is durable, it could theoretically function for the patientās entire life.
- Reduced Size and Complexity: By removing the bulky battery, it might be possible to make pacemakers even smaller, potentially allowing for less invasive implantation (e.g., via injection in some cases, as some research is exploring tiny biodegradable pacemakers).
While still largely in the experimental and prototype stages, the development of heart-powered pacemakers represents a profound shift in how we approachā¦
