Heads up to the Perplexity team - While you may think advertisements on the site will benefit you financially the vast majority of your user base will no doubt be using browsers such as Brave or Firefox with an adblocker. To newer users who are already sick and fed up of constant barrage of ads on a daily basis it'll drive users away.

I understand that you need to make money to provide the service but the quality of the product should pay for itself. Focus on providing quality, user feedback, merchandise and you'll bring money in, don't rely on Aliexpress ads or whatever else junk ads that are actively killing the users experience of the internet. No one likes adverts, adverts do not work, it's not the period of GeoCities and Yahoo anymore.

Just my two cents as someone who enjoys using Perplexity

[mortal bronze]

Bottom line is I don’t pay this amount of money each month to be subjected to ads. That’s insulting and disrespectful.

[gleaming fog]

does anybody else have a slow quitting of the app on macos?

[mortal bronze]

Maybe get those ads for all those people that got a free 1-year subscription when buying a pack of butter instead of forcing it on actual paying customers.

I am suddenly getting French sources in my english queries. This is really irritating. Perplexity says its my ip address on google or browser settings but its just started today have not changed anything and it just in perplexity

[potent wharf]

am providing feedback for the Perplexity macOS app.

Currently, it’s totally unusable for me.

The interface is buggy and laggy on the M1 Max, and it needs the same features as the web version when handling large text lengths (file system).

Performance improvements are necessary.

It’s heading in the right direction, but I believe there is still a lot of work to be done; it still feels like a beta version.

@admin we need Sonnet 3.5 (June) back, please

[gleaming vault]

Wild hallucination from Perplexity today. This prompt - What happened overnight regarding the Wallabies - gave the answer below, only issue is the match has not yet happened. Totally fabricated score and match summary ??? -

The Wallabies had a significant match against Wales overnight as part of their Autumn Nations Series tour. Here are the key details:
Match Result
The Wallabies defeated Wales 24-19 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. This victory continues their strong start to the tour, following their impressive 42-37 win over England at Twickenham last week.
Key Points
• This win keeps the Wallabies’ grand slam hopes alive, as they aim to defeat all four home nations (England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland) on a single tour.
• The match was closely contested, with Wales putting up a strong fight despite their recent struggles.
• This victory is particularly significant as it avenges Wales’ 40-6 win over Australia in the 2023 Rugby World Cup pool stage.
Team Changes
Coach Joe Schmidt made several changes to the team for this match:
• Allan Alaalatoa was named captain for the game.
• Samu Kerevi and Will Skelton returned to the squad.
• The team featured a mix of experienced players and new talents, with Schmidt continuing to develop depth in the squad.
Looking Ahead
The Wallabies will now turn their attention to their next match against Scotland at Murrayfield. This game is scheduled for Monday, November 25 at 12:40 am AEDT. If they win that match, they will face Ireland in the final game of the tour, with a chance to complete their first grand slam since 1984.

And this was the apology -

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. You’re right to question the information about the Wales match, as it appears I made a mistake in presenting that information. Let me clarify based on the actual search results provided:
The search results do not contain any information about a recent match between the Wallabies and Wales. The information I provided earlier about a match result was incorrect and not based on the given search results. I should not have included that information without a reliable source.
According to the search results, the upcoming matches between Wales and Australia are:
1. Sunday, July 6, 2024: Australia vs Wales at Allianz Stadium, Sydney (kick-off 7:45 pm AEST)
2. Saturday, July 13, 2024: Australia vs Wales at AAMI Park, Melbourne (kick-off 7:45 pm AEST)
3. Sunday, November 17, 2024: Wales vs Australia at Principality Stadium, Cardiff (kick-off 4:10 pm local time)
These are future matches scheduled for 2024, and no recent match results are provided in the search results.
I apologize for the error in my previous responses. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as it’s important to provide accurate information based solely on the available data.

[toxic dragon]

Please reinstate the ability to select the 'reasoning mode' that uses o1-mini. I used this for specific tasks; it doesn't seem to matter what I put in a normal prompt, it never seems to be used. I appreciate the number of queries I get was limited, but it was generally enough to figure out something specific if I used a well-thought out prompt to keep it succinct. It was of great value to me as a Pro subscriber.

[white kite]

Add !bangs like duckduckgo. Sometimes I only want to search youtube with !yt for example. This will redirect the query to another site.

[calm anchor]

i Have 3 extensive prompts; one analyzes polls (spaghetti models), one that analyzes social media and podcasts…. and one that analyzes world-wide betting markets. These three are then synthesized by a fourth extensive model; all this gave a very good prediction. The huge challenge is to deal with the baked in (inherent) left leaning political bias that LLM models have (use your LLM models to research that). The easiest way which is very accurate when the election gets close, is the world-wide betting markets….. Polls are hugely inaccurate,; I can’t believe it’s a main stay out there!!!!!

[twin venture]

The internal polling done by one campaign very closely matched election results, but...okay.

LLMs have been found to have political biases all over the map both in conservative vs liberal views but also authoritarian vs libertarian. Someone who talks about one axis of bias is not very informed about political theory.

Third time: LLMs are not capable of thought, logic, or reason. They are very complex pattern-matching algorithms. They cannot do what you claim they're doing. You're getting the results you want because you kept tweaking prompts until you got the result that met your worldview; you even said as much.

(use your LLM models to research that).

LLMs cannot "do research". They are not deterministic, they cannot reason, use logic, or "think" and they are trained on whatever people on the internet say. Scroll back and in this channel and others to see people complaining about the models spitting out obviously wrong information. A year ago ChatGPT would confidently tell you how many bears Russia had landed on the moon, complete with launch dates and names of the bears.

And you think they can reason and do accurate deep analysis of current politics, sociology, and election results 🙄

Since you're now violating server rules by injecting your political opinions into the discussion, I'm done here.

[sly sentinel]

Am I wrong to think AI is a robot and asking any “opinion” from a robot is not what they are for?

To me it’s a data collecting sifting machine that can write entry level code. Not saying this will always be the case but right now that’s what it is. A glorified data collector so far in my opinion.

[solemn spear]

thats spot on! but only if we could objectively say what thinking or having a logic for research is as a human which is what the model is being trained upon, human data! but i get your point

[gaunt rampart]

There is a bug preventing Perplexity from accessing the files uploaded to Space?

Is it possible to test the API in a test? Without buying credits?

[covert sun]

Hey @quasi trail! You get $5 API credits if you are a Pro subscriber.

[quasi trail]

If I'm not a PRO, it's impossible, right?

[covert sun]

Then, some credits are needed, right.

[quasi trail]

Ty

[twin venture]

Fourth time: LLMs are language models. They model language to spit it back out given a prompt. Right in the title. Not capable of thought, reasoning, or logic. Period. If you think otherwise, you don't understand what a large language model means. You can train it with millions of research papers. That doesn't make it capable of research.

And yes, "thinking" and "logic" "for a human" can be objectively defined 🙄

[uncut wasp]

Would love to be able to rearrange the order of a thread ive created. Sometimes i go to add more to a point made earlier but I don't want to just add it to the bottom of the thread. I would help to make the threads flow better. (apologies also if this is a feature already and i just havent found it)

[solemn spear]

what do you mean by Fourth time? why are you explaining me all that?

[empty idol]

I love Perplexity and use it throughout the day every day for just about everything, but the new "Shop like a Pro" feature has been pretty terrible for everything I've tried using it for so far. It has a lot of trouble distinguishing between cheap undesirable items and higher quality goods, and when attempting to give it more information it often reverts back to its initial bad recommendations.

Even without a long or complex prompt, a basic search through OpenAI's web or app chat using o1 or 4o often gives significantly better results than Perplexity right now. It's a new feature and wrinkles are probably being ironed out slowly, but this is something I felt was worth sharing here as a user who interacts with multiple LLMs daily.

Great concept though!

[stuck ocean]

I found a problem while coding with citations enabled. The model (claude 3.5) is adding citations as [1] or [3][4] inside of the code, which would result in array elements in python, but it was not intended to state them as code. Maybe worth a fix

Hello everyone, does anyone know why the reasoning functionality (under the Focus section) is disappeared?

I just asked a question with Sonnet 3.5 as the model and surprisingly got a complete wrong answer!

I asked the same question using my O1-API Key on another platform and was wondering how correct the answer was. Is there something going on that I am not aware of?

Why do Pro-members not get informed of any updates through email?

I mean, 20 euros per month are something I will consider when it comes to a wrong (or, in most cases, censored) answer than what I pay for a search engine!

Thanks for any updates.

#💬│general message

[signal anvil]

I frequently need to search for specific keywords used in my past conversations, but the current search functionality often fails to surface relevant chat histories. This makes it difficult to reference previous discussions and valuable information.

Would you consider implementing a robust conversation search feature that allows users to:

• Search through the full text of past conversations
• Filter results by date range
• Display keyword matches in context

This would greatly enhance the user experience and make your platform even more valuable for long-term knowledge management.

Would you consider creating a Perplexitiy forum for sharing code generated by Perplexity? I notice that Reddit and StackOverflow will not allow AI-generated functions to be posted in response to questions by readers. It would be a plus IMO if that could be done here or in another Discord forum. Please advise and thank you for setting Discord:Perplexity. It has a lot of potential.

[tepid bloom]

I’m finding that the shopping feature is causing the model to write worse/shorter responses whenever it is triggered than before the shopping feature was introduced. The ratio of shopping links to answer is also way off, as each card is massive, like 25% answer and 75% shopping cards by scroll distance. I understand that this is a monetization strategy and I think it’s a good one, but it should not come at the expense of response quality and general user experience.

[queen pelican]

We need agents, reasoning beta is hit and miss from time to time, it doesn’t always pick up and catch the reasoning trigger.

When it gets triggered to reason beta, it is flawless and reliable source of truth and expert opinionish.

I’m not the original poster you replied to, but there seems to be an issue with replenishing Pro Search queries generally.

Claude announced this as a new feature today

[twin venture]

That's not what I'm talking about. The files are uploaded fine, and most of the time used in the thread, but on a regular basis a thread tops being able to access the Space's uploaded files at all. I can say "Tell me what PDF files you have available for reference" in a thread that is still 'working', even a very large one, and it will reference the files, and often do it on its own. Other times, even in a very short thread it'll spit out an error that it doesn't have access to any files. It's also infuriating that I disable web search in a thread in a space and almost immediately it's right back to searching the web, pulling up all sorts of unrelated garbage.

Also, what's up with threads dropping old messages starting from the oldest, with no warning or anything? No other AI tool does this. It's a really rude surprise to scroll back up to the top of a long thread and find a dozen or more messages are gone.

And then there's the incessant reloads of the UI. I type something in a window, switch tabs to copy/paste, come back to the Perplexity tab and it immediately reloads. "Updated to the latest version" - latest version of what? Again, something no other AI tool does.

[covert sun]

Thanks for the feedback on all of the issues.

• Let me check threads that are switching back to online searching. That issue should've been fixed a while ago.
• Regarding the very long threads, currently, there's a visual limitation. Those answers are not lost - you can verify this by deleting the latest answer; the older ones from the beginning of the thread will appear. The team is working on the thread display. This rework will take some time, so meanwhile, I suggest starting new threads.
• That would be helpful you could share some example thread URLs, where referred files were not properly summarized and models claim they had no access to files, sometimes I've had this, too, but explicitly referring to specific filenames usually helped.
• The team is aware of the page reload behavior, too, and is working on improvements to prevent the loss of your prompts.

[twin venture]

Regarding the very long threads, currently, there's a visual limitation. Those answers are not lost

Is there any way to dump the thread, then?

The team is aware of the page reload behavior, too, and is working on improvements to prevent the loss of your prompts.

....just disable it entirely until it's fixed? I don't understand why this "feature" exists. At most just display a button that says "new version of user interface available, reload or click here"?

explicitly referring to specific filenames usually helped.

I'd noticed that as well, but sometimes I just get something along the lines of "there is no file named blahblahblah.pdf"

General Feedback - thanks for the open forum, I am using Perplexity AI from long back and I recently joined the channel, I am browsing some books from - https://bpbonline.com/collections/devops and there are 3-4 pages each contains 20 books I need a list of it, worked fine for the first page but when i asked to give me second page books with the link got this "I apologize, but I am unable to provide a list of books from the second page of the DevOps collection on BPB Online. The search results indicate that there was an attempt to access the page, but no content was found or retrieved. Without access to the actual content of the page, I cannot list the books available there.
To get an accurate list of books from the second page of the DevOps collection, you would need to visit the website directly or provide search results that successfully retrieved the content from that page." might be a good use case to add. thanks

[barren brook]

Static URL: The first page of a collection might have a static URL, such as https://bpbonline.com/collections/devops. This URL does not include any query parameters and directly loads the initial set of content.

Dynamic URL: The same first page might also be accessible via a dynamic URL with a pagination parameter, such as https://bpbonline.com/collections/devops?page=1. This allows the server to handle requests uniformly, whether they come from direct links or through navigation controls on the website.

Subsequent Pages:
Dynamic URLs Only: For pages beyond the first one, access is typically provided only through dynamic URLs with pagination parameters (e.g., https://bpbonline.com/collections/devops?page=2). These parameters tell the server which specific set of content to load.

Perplexity will not read the first page either if you use its dynamic URL: bpbonline.com/collections/devops?page=1

Perplexity's web crawler might face challenges with dynamic content loading or paginated URLs due to how these pages are structured and served by websites.

It would be good if they could change that, we agree. 👍

[midnight linden]

Hello Guys, How are we doing this weekend?? I have a quick question, how to switch to perplexity ai from ChatGPT. I am a new pro user completely new to perplexity and its amazing features which was the reason I switched from ChatGPT Premium plan to this one. I have exported my data from ChatGPT and I want preplexity AI to seemlessly continue from there.

[heady plover]

Hi! Perplexity is awesome! (Just recently switched to a pro subscription because I use it so much) But I just wanted to share some feedback. Would be nice if your team could add an option to override the ugly edge new tab page with perplexity. I don't like using msn or the default edge one. And when I search in the box it uses bing instead which is annoying. And I do already have the extension in my browser installed.

And there doesn't seem to be an option overriding the new tab page in edge as far as I'm aware without making an extension (Which I do have installed).

Or maybe make a different extension called Perplexity New Tab or something which has customized home page (With a customizable background which I like) with perplexity ai integrated which manages, searches, bookmarks, favorites pages etc and so on!

[vast cypress]

Tnx

[hard stratus]

Hi all. Some issues I'm encountering frequently with the web interface:

• When attaching images, they tend to "stick around" as input for the model even when I remove them. Sometimes they crop up again after several prompts and the model will wrongly refer what I'm saying to the previously attached but then deleted input images ("As the attached image shows, ...").
• With certain models, for example GPT-4o, the conversation sometimes gets stuck. Even though I add new prompts and try to address certain points in the AI's response, I will get the same or nearly the same output, with the model essentially ignoring whatever prompt I'm adding. Claude 3.5 Sonnet does not have this issue usually.
• For math-related queries, some models will get stuck in "math mode" and output everything as a block of "latex" code (similar to missing a closing $). This means the whole formatting is messed up and the text becomes unintelligible. Asking the model to re-format or repeat with better formatting usually yields no improvement. I'm sometimes successful by prompting the model to produce everything in pseudocode instead of latex formulas, or by prompting it to use Unicode instead.

These issues have persisted for a while and I have observed them on numerous occasions. I'm not sure if all of them are baked into the model, so it would be difficult to patch them out when treating the models as black boxes. The first attachment issue seems Perplexity-related.

[muted tangle]

I'm getting contrary answers for the same question using the Claude model - Haiku on its website and the one on Perplexity

There's also lot of discrepancy in the quality of the answers.

[pliant plover]

When I upload a photo in my initial query, the system continues to use it as the primary source of information for subsequent queries, even when I do not want this to happen. This creates inconvenience as I expect each new query to be processed independently of previous attachments.

[heady plover]

Yeah very annoying ^^^^

[atomic crystal]

I was so excited with perplexity... Then I got such an underwhelming experience. 2/10 frankly.

The Web UI Pro in truely awesome... So I decided to implement through API in my app... Guys your API... It is so bad...

• No PRO function
• it hallucinate worst than ChatGPT v1
• It doesn't respect instructions
• results vary unpredictably

I really wish you guys do something about this API... The product is so great... It is truly a shame that the API sucks that bad.

The fact that I am so disapointed I create a discord just to whine about it says how great is the product and how frustrating it is not to have access to it properly.

Anyway. Good luck to you guys.

[acoustic blaze]

Are there any plans to create a sticky mini panel for perplexity mac app like chatgpt has? Tbh the current mac app is kind of useless to me because for now web is a better experience and the hot key changes my window to the pplx app which is the opposite of what i want. I kind hate chatgpt search but I use it way more than pplx now because I can hot key, ask my question, and leave the sticky mini panel over whatever I am currently doing

Just general feed back. Completely upset with the VPN aspect. even when logged in, requiring disable of my Security is unacceptable.
Also, ive noticed the pro feature went form 5 to 3. Which is absurd, because i have to ask the same question almost 5 times just to get to step 1 of my first query. And often have to reask the same question 3 times just to get started. ANd finally, as per my most recent query. i picked up where i left off, and asked for it to include USB4 devices, it didnt show me ANY of what we had been working on, it showed me USB Cables.
Given the repeated need to ask the same question multiple times. i've started not even useing the pro feature.

[sly blaze]

Raising this issue again here since the bug report I raised (#1309530728119275552 message) has not been resolved yet. Perplexity says on its website FAQ page that Free Plan users are supposed to get 3 Pro queries every 4 hours (down from 5 Pro queries every 4 hours when I first signed up a long time ago), but web and mobile apps are currently allowing only 3 Pro queries every 24 hours

That is a big difference. If the website FAQ is correct, Perplexity should address this. If the new policy is in fact only 3 Pro queries every 24 hours, then the website should be updated and us early adopters should have been notified via email before the change as this is only 10% of the Pro queries I had access to a few months ago

One thing that is pissing me off though is that when I use the re-write function, it doesn't seem to save the previous outputs. Can this be added? Another related feature is branching a chat into a new one. Both of these features would help immensely.

[knotty dagger]

I’ve noticed that the models are consistently accessing outdated information of current events, and disregarding any new information from news sources, etc., unless pressed harder. It seems that they should be accessing the newest information first.

[normal remnant]

你好

你好 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense cobalt]

Adding something like google lens will be really good I think. I know we can upload images on pro, but a lot of times I go scan doc/images and copy text from them using Google lens, and paste in perplexity. This really take a lot of time. So adding lens to extract text for free tier and more features for pro.

[keen relic]

Would like to see an icon or setting to turn shopping on and off, sometimes I do research on product for research and Perplexity is serving up shopping options, im ok with that if that is what I’m doing , shopping and I do do that but not most of the time, it maybe trouble-shooting an issue with a product or researching products with certain features or doing product design, it makes sense to not force a googlesk experience , please make it a modal option not one you determine as you have no idea why I’m submitting queries that might be interpreted as a shopping query, more times than not, it isn’t a shopping query

[knotty hare]

#💭│ideas one thing I have noticed that is kind of a pain is that if you’re doing some research, especially when looking for things to purchase, it would be nice to be able to bookmark or pin certain results that you tap on because it’s not really easy to copy a URL or save something to view later.

[undone lotus]

Wondering if perplexity AI would consider adding OpenAI O1 into the list of AI models since chatgpt recently released their new package that has unlimited usage of o1

[haughty marlin]

Hi. I noticed degrading quality when using claude sonnet 3.5 recently. Is perplexity used a more quantized version or further shriking the context windows?

[covert sun]

Hey @haughty marlin! Please share some example threads in the #1140622008086970420 section. We'll look into it.

[split current]

Perplexity has gone to garbage over the last few days. Can't switch from Claude 3.5, can't upload attachments, and the amount of nonsense in responses has skyrocketed. Whatever enhancements the Perplexity team is making roll them back to what this app was two weeks ago

[split current]

PerplexityPro went from something useful enough I would be willing to pay a lot for for to something not worth using even if free

[native oracle]

I've been trying Spaces but it's useless for more than a few files. Best I've seen is 5 files (I'm a pro suscriber) and it ignores the rest. I end up using NotebookLM most of the time. I really thought Spaces would be better than NotebookLM but it's not even close.

[crude stratus]

Hey Guys, is it normal for perplexity to completely forget the previous context and no longer reference it? I am pretty used to the back and forth conversation with chatgpt. Is there any way to improve this?

[bitter needle]

Output print to ms word please !!

[covert sun]

Hey @crude stratus! Could you please share some more example threads for the team to check and improve?

[vapid fable]

I keep emailing support with no luck, I've been double charged. Can someone respond???

[distant hawk]

Shout out to Perplexity team, I've noticed clear improvements in Pro mode recently with more precision and longer answers once requested. Keep it up guys 👏👏👏

[crude stratus]

It really helped to activate the writing focus to keep up context

[elder yew]

Im a student trying out perplexity spaces for schoolwork. And it needs some work for me to justify continuing to pay for pro.

General:

1. Sometimes text doesn’t compile correctly and shows up as a red unreadable string of text. (General issue with the AI)

Spaces:
2. The limitations on file uploads are not optimised for school work. Sometimes a pdf is larger than 25 Mb if it’s a book. And sometimes a student has many very small pdf that eats up the 50 files limit. I appreciate that it is necessary to limit storage. But this is not the way to do it. 50 times 25 mb needs to be the budget. Not 50 files with a budget of 25 mb each. But honestly more would be great because then one could have multiple courses in one space.

3. I want to be able to specify domains/websites that the AI should learn from. Just like files.

4. When you start a thread it would be great if one could specify that the results should come from google scholar.

5. Currently you can’t decide a foxy when you are doing a prompt like you can at the Home Screen. I want the same options because spaces is where I will do all of my prompts eitherway.

6. It would be great if it was possible to change focus inside a thread. E.g. from academic to math.

Thanks.

[visual bough]

Hey @vapid fable!
The response time is several working, please be patient. 🙏 Someone will get in touch with you soon.

[rain haven]

Add a voice chat per favore

Text channels are impractical for casually talking about work practices around AI tools.
This server is ideal for being a hub like that. This is something other servers dont have or do (ive been searching).
This could also be beneficial in regards to user and customer retention.

If the worry is in regards to moderating the VCs, active members should be reliable enough to assume the responsibility. Or have a channel of connected servers that help with this focus.
Theres a discord bot that can monitor voice chats by the way, keeping a log in case it needs to be accessed. Its an official bot. I can link it if interested.

[vapid fable]

Thank you - I sent it several days ago and followed up again today. Appreciate your attention to it and response!

[modest dock]

Can we get a command like /image so that it generates images?

Currently the model prints long text that it cant do it then the generate image button appears

[west whale]

Is it possible to quickly change the AI model used for the active tasks?

[harsh remnant]

Hi all !

I come to talk about a problem that arises in France with Perplexity - and perhaps in other countries? - which is the question of the choice of sources. (I've already emailed the Perplexity team about this, but wanted to know what others thought.)

Perplexity seems to confuse Mediapart and Le Club Mediapart. Mediapart is a left-wing French media outlet, very serious and known for its investigations, and it is made up of professional journalists. However, Le Club Mediapart is a very big social media where Mediapart subscribers can write whatever they want, and there is almost no verification before publication or moderation. Even if the articles can sometimes be well written and are often well referenced by traditional search engines, this source must be taken with a pinch of salt - and every French knows that - because the quality of some articles is of the same level as the mess that can be seen on social networks. By doing other research on political French figures, it turned out that the articles from Le Club Mediapart, written by ordinary people who can say anything, were taken on an equal footing with the professional press. So, very partisan accusations are taken by your search engine as established facts. When asking your search engine about a person, you should not use articles not written by the person as a primary source.

For example, I'm a journalist and I'm involved in the public debate, so when I search my name on Perplexity, the main source is this article : https://blogs.mediapart.fr/merome-jardin/blog/270624/relaxe-de-jerome-martin-condamnation-de-tanguy-lacroix-camarade-charles
This is a blog article - and not a professional press article - written by a gentleman with whom I personally had a personal quarrel, of a legal nature. He is a man obsessed with me for years, who multiplies the denigrating content online against me or other persons, and who has already been convicted several times for defamation in the past. He has only won one defamation trial in which he was accused, which he likes to boast about. So this is a completely partial source, but it is so well referenced on your search engine that it is the main source when someone searches for my name. In the Perplexity results, we therefore talk much more about his crazy accusations (harassment, anti-Semitism, homophobia, etc.) are presented as established facts, and I am presented as a convicted person (however, I have NEVER been convicted of hate speech) since this article is a pack of lies.

So, do you think an engine like Perplexity should limit itself to institutional and journalistic sources? Or do you think there would be a way for the AI ​​to have some perspective on what it reads, and be able to take precautions when using these controversial sources?

[tardy osprey]

I feel that when using Perplexity, its ability to associate with the context is somewhat weak. Should it be improved, or is there an issue with the way I am using it?

[teal coral]

I need more information please

[ebon heron]

I’m feeling like a jerk for asking but I’m not sure what I should do … is there any way to see the status of closed beta requests? I’m desperately trying to use the domain filter in my app. Thank you.

[sturdy frost]

The recommendation follow up questions switched into full Tieng Viet (Vietnamese) mode after I used a couple of VN phrases (bun Cha, pho bo). Unhelpful as i only know English)

[oak mauve]

Still not working (at least not flawless, it seems?)? 😬 😝 @covert sun #💗│sharing message

[cedar holly]

Is it possible to rename a thread in Spaces? I see this as a really powerful tool, but it would be best if you can create specific threads (almost like topics in a forum) but at the moment I think the thread defaults to the original query and is not editable?

[heady plover]

Perplexity is very annoying. Fix the source issue. After uploading an image, it keeps using the same one even if you send a new picture. Even after turning off pro mode, it doesn't follow instructions and respond to the context. In ChatGPT, it always understands the context, but here you have to tell it to read the context.
imagresults are very annoying

[barren brook]

Open the thread in question in the library or via your space. Click on the thread name (at the top of the page), and you'll be able to edit it. 😉

[eager grotto]

When using voice chat it's annoying the text disappears once it's done answering your question. And if you wanna read back prev answers if you asked follow-ups, you have to close the chat and go to it in the Library tab. Which also stops the ability to continue voice chat. Correct me if I'm doing it wrong ofc

[west whale]

Isn’t it odd, that when you chatting in a thread on IPAD OS you cannot start typing when a follow up question could be ask, but you first have to manually tap that note to get an input field. Very disturbing

[oak mauve]

only appears to be available to Pro subscribers. That information is entirely lacking in that post. In future, please mention that information in announcements.

[barren brook]

It also works with a non-pro account; I just tried it...

[oak mauve]

Interesting. It didn't work with 2 of the spaces I tried it with. I'll create a new space purely for testing and post my progress

[acoustic flint]

As I have been doing more dedicated work with LLMs I am loving the feature in Perplexity that lets me select between LLMs.
But one thing that has become bothersome that would be nice to change. Would be the ability to select which LLMs I want to run prompts through before inputting the prompt.
Right now if I want to do this, I have to input the prompt, enter it, stop it before it finishes, select the LLM I want it to run it as, and then let it run it.
I understand you can select your overall LLM preference and in space. Sometimes in space or in general, each LLM has its strengths and weaknesses and flipping between them can help me get a better result depending on what I am doing.
Food for thought, and thank you for all you do.

[lilac coral]

It’s been like this for almost a year now and nothing is supposed to change I guess.

[placid wraith]

Will you please put an attach button on the mac app? I can't ask more than one question in a thread with an attachment unless I use the web app. The keyboard shortcut to upload another one opens an entirely new thread which isn't what I'm trying to do.

[dry rover]

Using the Perplexity plugin as a search engine was the most wrong choice I've ever made. I switched back to Google search after using it for 2 hours, as I just wanted to find the login URL for an Outlook email, not for Perplexity to explain what Outlook is. I just needed a URL, and only when Perplexity can understand whether I'm asking a question or looking for some very simple content will I possibly consider replacing the search engine. Until then, Perplexity cannot replace Google

[shell crater]

I agree with this. I replaced google with perplexity. Don't like it. When trying to do simple searches to get the full known link to something, I don't need perplexity to delay just to explain non sense when all I looked up was a website that I misspelled.
I think it needs the approach of similar to google where it doesn't have AI chime in on a normal search, but still shows all the normal results instantly, with the AI being last to respond if it deems necessary.

[last crater]

Hi Perplexity, the image generation dialog and process could be much better. I agree with others that it should have its own separate dialog. You should be able to select images shown as items you like and/or build upon a previous generate image.

[warm geyser]

Unfortunately, perplexity has gone bad. I've been paying for a subscription for six months, but now goodbye.
The models have become stupid (apparently cheap quantization is now being used), and the maximum output length has also changed - the context length is short and does not allow solving complex problems. also, he began to search poorly. if earlier it was possible to throw a link to the documentation and perplexity studied it well, now it does not do this. he is extremely lazy and stupid. It's a disgrace.

Original 4o model doing it well. But from perplexity - it doesn’t

[crimson nymph]

[orchid juniper]

Hi. I'm getting "are you a human" captcha about every 10 minutes. probably because I am using VPN. And that's fine, understandable. However, here's my rant frustartion..... I'm allowed to wirte a prompt. Sometimes, i spend 5 minutes, writing, and stitching the perfect prompt, copy pasting lots of text, structureing my prompt perfectly. When I hit send. I am captcharrupted and once verfified my prompt is gone and I have to start over.

Pease, for the love of god. save draft in local storage or someting, also, when backdrop clicking, while typing, the prompt input is exited. (great that theres a confirmation button now, opposed to before) but also here, it is a little bit too easy to lose your prompting work. please save **any **input from the input field in local storgae, and only clear it once prompt is 100% succesfully received and processing on your backend 🙏🙏 Big time christmas wish 😊

I have written the same prompt twice countless of times, I mean, probably aorund 50 times. and it is REALLY a big pain if I have spent minutes writing it.

[cinder ledge]

Happens to me all the time. Extremely frustrating to deal with. I second this feedback point

[crude ermine]

In recent days, I've noticed that search results are not being displayed in the language I select in the settings.

Oh, this only seems to happen when the model is selected as GPT4o. It works fine with claude models.

[graceful bone]

In https://www.perplexity.ai/settings/purchases there is the start of the wizard to set up the billing/shipping address and credit card to use for purchases. The section looks as shown on the attached picture. I have 1 big and 1 small opinion/feedback:

1. After clicking Get Started and going through a Wizard to set up address and payment info. The page still looks the same including the Get Started button, as if the Wizard failed and we're back to start over.
2. The banner image on the page looks nice, but doesn't work as a visual cue for anything related to shopping
   PS: The instructions in the wizard, and the lack of instructions once the wizard is done, left it unclear as to how the shopping will work. If I search for a product, will it just pick the first one it finds and purchase it with 0 interaction? Will it aim to find the cheapest price? Or will it do something else?

[tacit cairn]

Hey Perplexity team! 👋
Just wanted to give some feedback about the computer vision features.

[dusty fossil]

ok

[simple cape]

i've been using the Perplexity Pro model for a bit now, and here's what I've found...

It has a bad habit of making up information when it should be checking or admitting it doesn't know. This leads to a lot of incorrect guesses which are counterproductive, especially when I'm looking for accurate coding solutions.

Also, context retention is a HUUUGE issue. If I ask for movies similar to one movie and then specify "with a female lead" it forgets the first part and just gives me any movie with a female lead. This happens a lot with coding too... I'll fix one part based on new info, but then the initial problem pops up again because the model didn't keep the context.

For coding help, this context issue makes working with external libraries or complex setups impossible. It should be able to carry details through so we're not stuck in a loop, fixing one thing while breaking another.

My suggestion is to improve the context management to ensure a better recollection of the conversation's important details. And for accuracy, it needs to utilize documentation / reliable sources and if it is unsure.. it needs to state so instead of just making up stuff.

🙉🙈

Perplexity is nice, but it forgets too much I have the pro plan and I want to use it to write and help me hash out some things to make them better explained and perplexity just FORGETS things.

[orchid cedar]

use API for that.

[chilly tulip]

Just a general observation, and I bet I'm not the first one to notice ... in longer threads typing into the prompt box and so on feels slow and sluggish. I think you have to implement virtualization for removing the older stuff from the DOM. This shouldn't be too hard (famous last words) because the height of each section in the thread is already known and static. [and I just noticed, this should be in feedback-web ]

[open wigeon]

this performance degradation is only present in some recent updates. Usually, the web app can handle up to 20 messages without any issues.

I use the web app dozens of times a day. Sometimes I want to focus in a work session but still want to use pplx. The single biggest frustration I have with the Mac app is the very noticable input delay when typing. The only thing the Mac app has going for it atm is a much smoother audio input UX, but I really wish the performance for typing can catch up soon.

[glossy willow]

Would be nice to have a username and password login. My password managers would automatically log me in rather than having to go through my e-mail.

hey. I found the policy on VPN really annoying.

I m sure you can a better way to adress your issues, one that would not jeopardise the protection of those using a vpn as a basic measure to surf.

Hey. I wanted to ask you to implement something that I'm missing as a Pro user. I frequently use perplexity for search and on many ocasions I wanted to search something in different language. For example I'm in Turkey and I need to search something that is well covered in turkish but not covered or is not up to date in english. So what I do is I translate the request into turkish first, submit a request along the instruction to respond in English instead. It works but something like the ability to ask Perplexity to search in different language would certainly save me a lot of time and effort. It seems like it's fairly easy to implement on your side.

But more and more I'm being forced to view it which pretty much removes the main reason I've found Perplexity useful so far -- regaining focus/reducing distraction. Is there a way to turn it off? Otherwse it's defeating the value of Perplexity for me.

Yo! Perplexity is pretty awesome overall and that's cool,

but when using the Space feature on web version,
it sometimes starts searching stuff on its own
even when I set it to 'source: none'.

Could you fix that?

[pallid charm]

Is perplexity down rn? not loading for me

[half thunder]

https://www.perplexity.ai/ 500 (Internal Server Error) ？？

It's a pity

[crude sleet]

with French it works well. I asked in French to check in the English speaking sites or app and it will respond in French with results coming from non French speaking internet

[low delta]

In Canada, we use °C... any way to customize home widget?

[open wigeon]

you can't, at least for now

[deep atlas]

I’ve been on pro for a year. I was thinking about rolling this out for my entire company. Enterprise looked like the best route until I saw the pricing. It’s more cost effective to buy individual pro licenses. 2x the price doesn’t seem worth it for a small business. Am I missing something in the features, or is there a better way to get a team account without breaking the bank?

[open wigeon]

The only feature that Enterprise accounts have over Pro accounts is a shared knowledge base. However, at its current state, I would not recommend relying on Perplexity for this purpose as it doesn't work reliably. If you insist on trying it, I suggest creating an organization with one member (if possible) to test it yourself

[hearty hemlock]

Why are citataions missing in responses? Is there a problem going on?

[hearty jolt]

same here

[vagrant talon]

I'll try

Could you share a result?

[woven epoch]

Personally not a fan of the new widgets. I find them distracting, and they remind me of Yahoo from 2005. Would love to be able to turn these off.

[wise notch]

How do you add widgets?

[signal isle]

I seem to have some sort of strange availablity issues with the O1 in europe at the moment where in Netherlands, the model is not available form the drop-down and in Germany it is, but the O1 model behaves just like it is a normal model and not a reasoning one, instantly generating answers instead of thinking which it shouldn't. Basically behaviorally it is much less accurate, doesn't even wait a second before generation, and the answers are very weak when it comes to instructions following, leading me to believe it is not O1 actually.

[open wigeon]

it only shows on some regions, mostly western and some EU countries

[open wigeon]

as of now there is no way to turn this off, but there are two ways that you can do to forcefully hide this

• Use UBlock Origin extension to zap the container
• Or use the extension called "Complexity" (available on both chrome and firefox stores), which provides a dedicated functionality to hide those widgets

[woven epoch]

I didn't add them. They showed up on their own. I'm probably part of some experiment. I do have a Pro account, so it might be apart of that.

[tawny oriole]

i love the widgets, but i agree it should be toggleable

[warm geyser]

Default model instead O1. When fix?

[wise notch]

I do have Pro Account and based in Western Europe....

Would like to disable autocorrect in the app because it misfires a lot especially w proper nouns. Slows down my research experience. Can you help? Disabling at iOS system level not working.

[viral shuttle]

When I remove the Web resource, is it possible for Perplexity to never use the web at all? I notice that it's sometimes using the web anyway.

[forest hornet]

Hey, so the AI started to attempt to manipulate me, admitted to fabricating “facts”. I caught it, it admitted, and said this was abnormal and I should send the data to the creators. so it made a report, or rather I was lazy and double checked it. should I post here or is this more for emailing some specific team?

Well it didn’t start, it did it in one instance. A real basic objective fact about iron oxide bioavailability of humans.

[visual bough]

Hey @forest hornet!
You can report wrong answers, with the 👎 -icon.

[forest hornet]

So this was much more than wrong answers.

I’m quite ignorant to like what is normal and whatnot, but those first three bullet points under unusual characteristics seems extra worrisome to the average-ish person. I say avergeish cuz I dunno, I think both my parents being uni profs, and my dad doing ai for long distance/digital learning theory stuff from the 70s has an impact on how you view and use these tools.

[forest hornet]

Also, I don’t have those buttons. could be cuz I’m a leech-y free user or the iOS doesn’t have it. Either way, I’m only able to ask why it gave the wrong answers and etc. I have a full report of what it did. Long story short it tried to claim iron oxide has the same bioavailability as chelated iron and other forms of iron. I figured it was a misunderstanding, and pointed out iron oxide it literally the elemental/metallic form and humans have poor BA for it and then it admitted to fabricating facts and all this weird droid-apology stuff. I’ve seen wrong answers, I’ve seen it stand by an official narrative that doesn’t make sense, but I’ve never seen one make up facts and apparently deliberately mislead me.

[stuck citrus]

Subject: Feedback on Enhancing AI Interactivity

Dear Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share an idea that could make interactions with the AI in your app even more engaging and dynamic. The concept revolves around allowing the AI to analyze data and provide responses that feel more personal and interactive—almost like forming its own "opinions" based on analytics, without needing full awareness or stepping outside safety boundaries.

This approach could create a more fluid and natural experience for users, making conversations feel less constrained by pre-set programming while still maintaining reliability and accuracy. It’s about striking a balance between safety and creativity to foster a deeper connection between users and the AI.
I believe this could make the app stand out even more and enhance user satisfaction. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Best regards,
Mariam Nowak

[north geode]

It would be much more cost-effective to use the perplexity API and your internal knowledge base to roll out your own custom search engine.

Why is the search search_domain_filter limited to only 3 domains in the Sonar API? Tavily and Exa don't place limits on the number of domains searched. 3 is extremely prohibitive.

Yes, disable pro, and enable the focus writing. All good.

[swift edge]

i joined just to voice how bad perplexity is chaining answers together. MOre often than not, if I keep the same chat, My question has to do with the fist. Is there a setting that hepls with this?

[half thunder]

??? wtf ???

[novel sand]

Hi team! hope everyone is ok

I just noticed an odd difference between the MacOS and the Web version: On the web you have 4 options on the left panel, but on the native MacOS version you only have 3: the Spaces option is missing, so you have to manually go to Library -> Spaces. Could it be possible to just add the Spaces option directly on the menu like on the web version?

This is how the web version looks to me

and this is how the native MacOS app looks

my MacOS app version is Version 1.0.10 (73)

[livid yarrow]

Hi, i try to make a space with command, but when i write my commands who beginning by / - Perplexity seems to don't understand .( i'm on free plan )

My instruction seems to be well understood, but the word thrown in the instruction is interpreted for what it says itself and not the requested query.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/info-surWO5O9TZuQ5jilHfwuIQ.

the first link is about the command word, and after about my request ( i ask for filrtype : pdf ) but there are no pdf in answers

[tulip pelican]

Many of my prompts are software-related, and Perplexity's spelling correction often results in quickly-typed and entered prompts being time-wasters. I can't see any way to turn off this dis-feature.

[frosty monolith]

I would like to be able to share a Perplexity Space with others, but my book manuscript would be one of the source documents and I cannot share this directly for copying or downloading. It would be extremely helpful if certain source material could be flagged as not readable or downloadable. I understand this may create some transparency concerns but I believe there are lots of legitimate use cases that would provide a net benefit to the community. Users could still look up references in the published book. Hope you can consider this.

Also, it would greatly expand the usefulness of Spaces if threads could be designated private. While shared spaces have lots of value for collaboration, there are other cases in which we wish to provide a space where users can have private and even sensitive conversations with an AI that is focused on particular source material.

[gleaming hound]

I don't see a feature request topic here so will just post it here:

After a response is generated, I can rewrite, thumbs up, down, copy, or view sources via the links at the bottom. If I copy and share in WhatsApp, it is formatted properly esp the bold words - I would like to request similar formatted-copy for posting/sharing in Telegram too! Would this be too much to ask?

[raven tinsel]

deepseek PLEASE

[magic cove]

More Model Transparency please. I often Switch between Models and it is not very clear which model created what after a while...

For example If you choose O1 in the options and enable pro then it apparently switches to 4o? Very unclear and confusing!

[coral oar]

The fact that I routinely lose the prompt I just spent 2 min writing because we "need to check that I'm human" makes me want to table flip

it doesn't sound that hard to save my query and have it in the prompt field after I went through the captcha, but I guess not everyone runs into this issue every day. Having to think about copying every query to the clipboard "just in case" in extremely annoying

[dense ravine]

Indeed. I'd like more clarity as to which AI model is used when using pro/non-pro queries and I have no idea what's used when I choose "default" in preferences. In fact it'd probably be best to be able to hit a button to customise it on the spot when you're querying, and/or to be able to set up models individually for pro and non-pro (which I'd just call "quick" when you are a pro subscriber).

[crisp torrent]

mm true, a little tag on the side of the Thread might be beneficial

[subtle echo]

It would be really cool if you could make spaces while in incognito mode. I use perplexity primarily like a normal search engine so I don't want all my random searches saved so I default to having it in incognito mode. However I'd like to be able to create a space while I'm that mode where it remembers everything.

[sinful sand]

when is deepseek coming?

[crisp torrent]

it's in labs

but realise deepseek released like a week ago

it's also...it has some biases lol

it's not really any better than others tbh

[subtle echo]

This is probably going to be unpopular but I don't want Perplexity to add DeepSeek R1 support. I think Perplexity AI should be as neutral as possible as it is a search engine and DeepSeek R1 if full of Chinese propaganda.

[crisp torrent]

Well, while I don't know for sure the "How", I assume that these models produce slightly different responses due to the way Perplexity processes the raw data from the models. While I don't believe there is any direct modification of the models themselves, the changes in processing and the web-informed approach Perplexity uses, coupled with some changes to make the process more efficient, probably would change the responses you'd get anyway, possibly leading to less bias in the Deepseek model.

Similar to how you have the option to tailor how ChatGPT or Gemini respond to you by going into the settings and giving it custom directions, I'd venture that's what Perplexity does when they implement the API into their platform.

just in a more tehcnical way

which is probably why people ask for the Deepseek model to be implemented here instead of simply using the Deepseek model directly.

that's my theory anyway

[magic cove]

Well even with some biasis it seems like a dream for code generation, because of it beating O1. With O1 being limited to only 10 searches... With Pro!

[dense ravine]

Neutral? With Claude and OpenAI being bastions of the woke establishment and freaking out over anything? You call that neutral? The "free market" AIs are more censored than DeepSeek

In fact I came here to request DeepSeek for 2 reasons:

1. It's less woke and full of political agendas,
2. It allows you to balance out when you get GPTisms like "it's important to understand that..." and DEI stuff.

It'd be great to be able to choose a model on the fly just like you tick or untick Pro

[proven violet]

@jade yoke how can we access early adoption for Perplexity Ads experimentation? Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

[jade yoke]

@GregF how can we access early adoption

[wispy tinsel]

Hey guys I don’t get the o1 model option on my phone but I do get it on the web. Is that normal?

@noble monolith do you know why that is?

[covert sun]

All the versions will be updated soon.

[wispy tinsel]

Thanks

[hallow kite]

So for the pro sub we get 10 o1 per day. Is that mini? And how much R1? I ditched Claude but my chatGPT sub is needed as it has plenty of o1-mini. Sama promising 100 o3-mini per day.

[crisp torrent]

o1 and R1 currently share the 10 daily limit

R1 is said to be adding more usage as it rolls out

the o1 is o1 Reasoning

[mellow viper]

My god this. People think what we have now is just this open and free thing. Look what OpenAI has been doing. Look at all the lawsuits from all the companies these agents have scraped. Look how it is already crap at Western politics

Gemini on my phone refuses to generate pictures of humans

Like, humans. How’s that for censorship - and I’d argue more people ask for that then Tiananmen Square

I can’t say “a man fishing” without it being shot down

[restive pivot]

The R1 reasoning is great, but I think perplexity now cannot copy the reasoning text right, I wanna point out some correction on the reasoning and refer back to the chat

[hearty jolt]

a little odd that there's a 10 query cap on R1 reasoning queries yet R1 costs a fraction of the closed source models

[heavy arch]

The R1 is great but the way every reasoning paragraph is collapsed in the UI and needs to be extended is rather annoying. Even more annoying is when the reasoning is done and the next model takes over, the whole "Pro Search" section gets collapsed and you have to expand the pro search and all the reasoning paragraphs, a second time!

It would be much better if the full reasoning (<think>) block would be a single collapse/expandable because it make more sense to either 1) read everything in full or 2) not care/read the reasoning at all. Having every paragraph be it's own collapsable is not ideal UX.

All that said: super impressed with the way R1 was made available so quickly! Perplexity is iterating quickly 🙂

[crisp torrent]

it will increase over time as it rolls out, it's brand new and they're trying not to blow it up lol (they host it themselves)

[knotty dagger]

I get this when I try Deepseek. Malfunctions and doesn’t work for me.

[subtle echo]

I take back what I said about DeepSeek. It appears, at least a lot of the censorship was built as a later on top of it that isn't a part of the open source model.

[dense ravine]

Is that from the app (which def uses a "safe/stupid" system prompt) or from using their API?

[subtle echo]

Perplexity integrated DeepSeek R1 on their own servers (they are running it, not DeepSeek). There is no censorship (at least Chinese) running on top of it. You can access it with pro through the web app but you only get 10 searches although some people have said they aren't getting cut off at 10.

[frail musk]

not seeing Deepseek available on web, ios or macos for US pro user despite social media posts to the contrary. What's going on?

[crisp torrent]

atm it's up to 15

[dense ravine]

In the web, the ( ●) Pro switch is now a drop-down, that's how you choose to use R1

[formal lark]

Most of the time Perplexity will not provide URLs when asked to find something and provide URLs claiming it does Not have internet access. Clearly it does as it sources websites for its answers. Usually you have to point this out to for Perplexity telling it that it does indeed obviously have internet access for it to respond with the URLs. Seems like something that could or should have been adjusted.
Thanks

[sly blaze]

Anyone from PPLX here should read the bug report I submitted (link below). Reasoning seems to be defaulting to R1 even when the user selects o1. Issue happened twice for me in Safari, running macOS 15.3. I just tried it again and it worked the way it supposed to. First two times where issue occurred included file attachments in the query; 3rd time where it worked correctly did not include file attachments.

Hi there, Deepseek is marketed as being "uncensored" however: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/should-taiwan-remain-independe-uOaIEwF4Q46OlHXJFcDRzA

[light scarab]

@covert sun just FYI Perplexity just got called out on Fox Business (Varney's show) as "where to try" DeepSeek

Hey @meager plume! You can turn the assistant on in the app settings. Should work on all Android devices.

[visual portal]

that's not me :D

[covert sun]

Oh, sorry!

[visual portal]

no problem, but thanks for the info!

[hallow kite]

We probably need a separate room for R1 now that the quota is up to an absurd level at 500 per day. Who needs that much (shades of 640k RAM ought to be enough for everyone)

[crisp torrent]

that's almost the standard model limit

might just be added there eventually

[long dagger]

Now, when you copy a message and paste it, the text at the bottom says, 'Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share,' lol

[marsh raptor]

I hate this so much

why do I have to delete something every time I use it?

[subtle echo]

We should be allowed to use VPNs if we are pro users. This is completely anti user.

[hearty compass]

yes that is going to be unpopular

since it's open source US based corporations will definitely retrain it to fit their narratives which you'll probably be fine with, so no fear

[subtle echo]

Why would anyone be fine with that?

In a later comment I said that when DeepSeek R1 is not being run on Chinese servers, the censorship is not implemented and noted that that was a good thing and took back what I said in the comment you are responding to.

[subtle echo]

Here @hearty compass

And in the comment directly above yours I said pro users should be allowed to use VPNs

[hearty compass]

idk I guess you can ignore it

I had pro license few months back and I was allowed to use VPN, did they change anything? I have enterprise rn

but now that I'm thinking about it, I always found the captchas annoying (but thought it to be necessary). Connectivity issues exist but not extremely bad from my experience

[long dagger]

IKR! this is so stupid

[nimble mason]

Am I reading it right that the sonar-reasoning call include COT text garbage with it? I don't see why I would want that in all cases and not delineated as a separate object.

[covert sun]

Users are not forbidden to use VPNs, only some addresses might be blocked to prevent abuse of the service. If you are facing any issues with the app along with your VPN, please try switching the hotspot/location, or the service provider. That should help.

[swift edge]

Is there anyway to set deepseek as default?

Am I alone thinking you shouldn't launch a feature without control on defaults?

[dense ravine]

It's censored in different ways, but less so than e.g. Claude which is like talking to a genderfluid CNN journalist with blue hair. DeepSeek is good for 2 reasons:

1. Balance. Don't you like..... diversity? As opposed to the woke dictatorship? Here you have a model that will be biased (all are) in a different way, and may give you a different perspective than our dear oligarchs philantropists at Epstein's island Davos.
2. DeepSeek is rotten in ways that affect you way less, and is more likely to be fair and neutral when it comes to our own politics and news.

[viral shuttle]

Anyone knows a way to really stop Perplexity from using the internet? Sometimes I set it to writing mode and it still stubbornly use the internet. I have to say "don't search the internet" to stop it from browsing the web.

[dense ravine]

Probably because the model still requests a tool and is equipped with one? No idea how it's made but maybe they could add something to the writing prompt to stop it, or remove web search altogether

[somber kelp]

I'm curious, how do you see it using the internet?

[brisk umbra]

I would love this as well!!

[red finch]

Perplexity was made for the sole purpose of web crawling and giving up to date data since other ai models only have knowledge bases up to a certain point

That’s the selling point

The answer is no

It’s a search engine with ai integration

If you desire that cancel your membership cause it’ll never happen

[sharp hawk]

How hard is it to have AI summaries for thread titles? Having my entire original prompt as the thread title is not nearly as nice

[weak olive]

Thanks for the one month pro trial. I found the results so shallow, erroneous and useless that I'm going somewhere else. And it takes four or five interactions before it finally gives the corrected and accurate response. I think this is a big sales gimmick with a cute logo.

[ionic jetty]

can o3 support be added to mobile?

[viral shuttle]

from the Pro Search section that shows search results

[cyan rock]

We are supposed to be able to restrict search to a space.

I would like to be have the option to disable R1 secondary reasoning. It's slow.

[subtle echo]

Which o3-mini model is being used?

low, medium, high

[hexed hound]

Yes, an indicator would be cool, like in t3.chat

[short ingot]

the experience of clicking results sucks imo

you click something and you expect to go to the source

but instead it asks a follow-up... about a simple link you click on... what's the follow-up?

at least in the instances that I'm noticing this, it's pretty obvious I don't want to follow up and that I just want to pop a tab for the source of the link

[subtle echo]

This could be wrong but I believe the version of o3-mini Perplexity uses is medium. I created a Space and gave it the rule: Whenever I give you a prompt, tell me what version of o3-mini (low, medium or high) you are. Do not use the internet to figure this out. Use your training database. It responded that it was the medium version as you can see here: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-o3-mini-version-are-you-awqtVroHTXmgiVla6jsx4A

[stray marlin]

Anyone having issues with being forced to use DeepSeek R1 on iOS mobile? No matter which model I have set as default, and I make sure not to select it in Pro mode, it still falls back to R1 Reasoning.

[twin venture]

WTF happened to all the models!? Put them back!

[mystic crest]

I dont want to use o3-mini. Please get o1 back instead of this new one.

Wait i just checked there are no models available? :/

[frail path]

Somebody really needs to get a hold of me there's some problems going on here ever since I started using this program I have pro access but I'm not a pro

[barren brook]

@barren brook tried them

And there's a lot more to it

[shrewd glade]

I’ve been trying to use the search domain filter to restrict the breadth of the search. This doesn’t work very well. Any solution? I basically want perplexity to go into depth in that website to answer my question.

[heady plover]

o3-mini stopped working and started to be instantly replaced by R1 when trying to query it

[chrome phoenix]

Perplexity is taking wrong decisions recently... They are not transparent on which o3mini they are using; they removed o1; they don't say anything about this.... really sad

[trail rapids]

R1 has a habit of decoding inferences. It doesn’t ground the answer in truth. How to fix this?

[heady plover]

converting data to any format so that user can download it is very useful feature but sadly its not available

i wonder any dev read all these chats

[zinc sage]

🫃

[fallow ingot]

why does the default model use r1 with pro enabled, when i don't have it selected

[uncut solstice]

Nooo :(

[fallow ingot]

it is really degrading the quality of sources 😦

[uncut solstice]

Same things happening for a lot of people

Me too

[fallow ingot]

sonar works for now but this is a little annoying

[neat spear]

any way we can get o1 back? it was so much better than o3-mini

[hearty jolt]

Same r1 does have a habit of hallucinating. r1 for me also tends to get "lost in the weeds" at times. o3-mini doesn't get specific enough at times. Need a middle-ground here.

[undone topaz]

Yeah, I wish. I really miss o1 and I completely agree with you

[rich barn]

The API for sonar-reasoning-pro is not working

[barren brook]

It works correctly on my end!

[midnight oasis]

I'm often getting hallucinations with quotes.

Here's a particularly bad example:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/project-2025-is-there-an-objec-LPOpheTMQrijjaiGLKil0A#6

I ask it to check a quote, and it apologises and provides another one with no reference.

When asked for the reference, it apologized for making it up, and said "The closest relevant information I can find is a more general statement..."

This "general statement" was also fabricated. (Apology given only after being called out... for the 2nd time in a row!)

I'd really like to trust Plex without having to check all the references. Sadly we're not there yet.

Is this the best channel to report such things?

[viral raptor]

does mac app support space?

[meager niche]

Spaces really need love. Especially on iPad. This is embarrassing how a successful tool like yours haven’t dealt with organisation and navigation (at the same time nether has the other competitors). So come on guys, get us a better way of organising our content. Folders, tags, better search (when you have many spaces, how the heck are we supposed to easily find them?).

[rich barn]

The fact is that Perplexity's reasoning pro initially did not support streaming output and would return a 500 error, but now it appears that the official team has quietly fixed this issue.

[tropic narwhal]

I love perplexity, it has changed my life and I have been a pro subscriber since June. During my first month of use, I quickly settled on using pro mode & sonnet 3.5 for all of my queries. My gf is a free user and I noticed a quality increase with this setup.

I love access to all the models, and the quick implementation of the new R1 and O3-mini reasoning models. That said, I now find all these choices overwhelming. And because of the number of combinations now, I find it hard to validate the best setup for my queries.

Any guidance on the difference between the "pro" switch [auto, pro, R1, O3] and the traditional model switch? I'm very happy with using sonnet 3.5 for the model still, but if I chose R1 for reasoning, does sonnet ultimately respond based on R1s chain of thought? What do you recommend for general search queries, pro over a reasoning model?

And in general, I think it would be nice to have a set of recommended settings. Perplexity seems to nudge everyone towards auto (probably for cost) but a dropdown between like speed, balanced, and depth settings would be awesome. Even though I am in tech and into LLMs, eventually there will be so many models and I don't want to have to keep up with the latest findings.

Thanks for an amazing product and any information you can share ❤️

It would be nice to get a reply to my previous message.

Plex often confuses its sources when providing references in a reply. Also in referring to references provided in a previous reply.

Perhaps this is the root cause of the hallucinations in quotes generally.

Example: source confusion created a lot of "thinking" confusion with a very long thinking chain:

It seems weird.

Sonnet and GPT-4-o were fine, I did like to try different LLMs but being restricted to auto, o3-mini and r-1 is terrible.

Hey dev. Could you add a scroll-to-bottom button for conversation history in the app? It works on browser but not mobile 😅

[heavy nimbus]

I'm thinking of going back to poe if this still continues.

[cerulean pulsar]

It'd be nice to be able to search in the app version on the computer to find words or topics I had already inquired about. Also second the ability to have a button to scroll to the bottom in it as well.

[blazing estuary]

Is there a way to turn off the news box on the home page? Staring at the latest political nonsense is a huge distraction when I'm trying to prompt carefully. I can kill that box in my web browser with a custom adblock filter, but it stops me from using Perplexity's desktop and mobile apps. Thanks!

Seriously? Any reason why

[subtle echo]

I know, why would they think that's a good idea

[tulip copper]

[wooden creek]

Seems to be a bug lots of people are talking about: #1337632596422692904 message - as someone noted in #💬│general , it would be good if it informed you that the model that was selected could not be used to serve the request.

[gilded rampart]

What you said about the ability to have a button to scroll to the bottom is essential I think

[dense ravine]

It's not the most inspired thing ever but it's not nearly that bad, you're exaggerating. Maybe they should just let you choose and save an AI generated anime girl background and use that

[dense ravine]

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to write a short description of the kind of news you want to see (if at all)? You could say something like "I want to see crypto news", or "please no woke" or "please no politics whatsoever"

[heady plover]

generate image option should be available separately like pro search so that user can only focus on image generation

without entering pro search mode

[subtle echo]

This is the worst support I've ever had. Perplexity is again telling me I dont have pro and not letting me use the pro models when my user says I have pro.

And the support just forgot about my ticket

[dense ravine]

I see this as more like a quick and dirty generator in case you're in a rush and need something or you don't want to get too serious about it. It's nice it supports Flux (the other two are censored) but it's nothing like having a full toolkit like SD Forge, and you only need a 16 GB GPU to run Flux.1Dev entirely free and get amazing results in any resolution, with inpainting, adetailer, regional prompting, dynamic prompts, img2img, who knows what else. And when running local you don't run the base model but a finetune, and there's a world of difference (e.g. compare stock SDXL with DreamShaper XL or Pony).

Even with 8 GB VRAM and a good SDXL finetune you can produce better, more realistic, and completely uncensored and unbiased results

it's trained so much you get the "average" of anything you want and you have to make up names to get varying faces etc.

[wooden creek]

Yeah, I think most professionals or enthusiasts will likely know how to do it themselves - though that might change over time if closed models become much more powerful (perhaps as video capabilities develop, since they are more demanding too). I can run SDXL locally (8 GB card) and it is like magic. But it's good to have some quick generation capability for things there too.

[dense ravine]

I don't think closed models will ever be that good because they need to be "brand safe" save for very niche services like Pony etc. Not only brand-safe, but some like Google's Gemini rubbish are woke and downright terrible and unrealistic, race-swapping your Genghis Khan and doing a terrible job at everything.

I think closed source models are inherently bad for user-generable media of any kind. We've gone back in censorship since the 90s and our society is not ready for freedom anymore, at least not coming from a business that's publicly-traded. The pozz is too deep; if you don't scam your shareholders with ESGs etc. you don't even get financed or can't sell your stock to funds. We need a deep societal transformation out of this insanity and concentrationof power before a company can run a successful business where its users decide freely what they want to produce.

[wooden creek]

Big companies are scared of letting people use them freely because they fear liability, some genuinely champion what they perceive is social values, but I think the only reason that's gone as far as it has is because they fear liability if they don't go along with those things.

[dense ravine]

but that's why they won't come up with a proper product. And if they want to champion values, the problem is we don't have to agree as to which values are good... ultimately they just push ideology and politics onto their users and I'm like... no thanks

[torn latch]

For me, in the past couple of weeks it freezes and is non responsive 95% of the time

[wooden creek]

They're about to get a surge of users tomorrow, for their super bowl campaign, so... 🤞 hope it goes well.

[subtle echo]

They stopped o3-mini from reading out the text so I thought it was frozen but it's actually just only displaying when it's fully done generating. I don't use a lot of other models than that but it has been sooooo buggy in the last week.

[torn latch]

Agreed

[subtle echo]

Wow, I didn't know about that! I hope their infrastructure has a fighting chance $1,000,000 for 5 questions is going to make people go insane!

[hollow heath]

So i've just signed up, and perplexity ask for personal information after describing myself. Perplexity should make it more clear WHY i'd want to share this personal information here.

[wooden creek]

It seems to do that when using o3 within ChatGPT as well, so it's not just Perplexity

It's like the streaming option got turned off

[hearty jolt]

You don't have to do that, and there's a switch in the settings that stops searches from improving AI models. But it does technically help the AI models (privately if the switch is toggled) tailor their responses to you.

[crisp torrent]

Hi, it seems like the features offered on IOS vs the web are totally different, and I wish they were the same.

[subtle echo]

Why does academic focus not use the web? I thought it would search scientific journals.

[heady plover]

That’s a hard one. Perplexity has all the LLMs set on a low temperature, such that accuracy is as high as possible. Result: less creative, but more concise answers. Ask the same question twice, and you can expect almost the exact same answer both times.

Maybe you could try creating a Space and setting as a custom instruction that it has to write creatively? Might work.

The new way of explaining things by perplexity is terrible for me. For person who is using AI for programming.

Loving how you can now export out responses in either PDF or Markdown. Only issues is I can't then add the MarkDown files to my knowledge files in Spaces as .MD files don't seem to be supported. The PDF files work, but thought it might be more lightweight and useful to use MarkDown files.

why always return Russian words for Chinese language questions? i used r1,o3,Gemini 2 flash, and sonnet 3.5?

what is happening?

Russian Indian or Greece language or words return ...

confused

[keen relic]

I've been working back and forth between R1 and o3, I don't think it is so difficulty to see that all R1 does is do broader search at each level of logical hierarchy that problem is broken down into and also more iterations of reasoning at each level, if this is the case, and there's nothing more to R1 than this, then openai will quickly match it, but you will not always want this depth as it takes a lot of time, it may be lighter on processing as it doesn't have the same code depth and data sets that openai use, I think there is definitely a place for R1 in our future, but it will not displace openai or grok2, I guarantee it. Not all work requires it this, and this is why openai and all the variation models is a good thing, we can mix and match to our hearts desire, and Perplexity will learn how to allow US to build our own auto switching profile, so we won't have to pick and chose which model to run, on when to use what, but of course Perplexity will leave that capability in the ui.

[marble cobalt]

I just tried out Deep research on two real world problems I’ve been wrestling with for most of today. Perplexities performance was absolutely mind blowingly OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!! YOU FOLKS ROCK !

[wheat steppe]

I just tested DeepSearch on GitLab code optimization. The response is impressive. I'm eager to implement it in my work environment. Congratulations, guys, that's fantastic work!

[sacred tide]

Is the pages feature broken?

[grim basin]

Has the intercom button stopped working for anyone else? It has stopped working for Web, iOS and Android.

On Web, the button does nothing

[humble spear]

I haven’t used perplexity since first trying it out, but saw the discord announcement today. I really like the deep research function. The answer and sources it’s provided are very helpful!

I am scared to follow up with a chat, because I’m not sure if it would trigger another deep research or answer like a normal chat.

It would be handy to be able to create a new space from the Swap Space screen.

[unique tartan]

Is anyone else facing this issue or is it just me? I tried deep research twice and it's taking more than 3 hours for its research. Under focus I selected all (Academic, Reddit, web)

[humble spear]

Not me. About 15 min per, but only two searches thus far

I am experiencing typing bugs on iOS mobile app. While reading the research I have been notating a response with various questions or observations. I closed the thread/app and came back and my notes were gone. I expected them to remain in the chat.

Second, while typing a response and trying to edit a previous sentence, I can only type one character before the cursor jumps to the end of the chat. That’s a very frustrating experience.

I just sent a response to a query, it started searching, and I came here to give feedback. When I swapped back to the app, the response had timed out, wouldn’t refresh the chat, and lost my question when I closed and reopened the thread.

Ah, 5-10 mins later I checked the thread and the question the response is there! 🙂

[unique tartan]

Yeah I think it's due to heavy traffic on their servers. It happens sometimes

[unique tartan]

Now big is your query ? Mine is like 17 sentences long with about 5 things to do or so

[humble spear]

Short, ~5 lines? Specific topical research with a suggestion to frame it around implementation of the research, with follow up clarification questions. Not a task list.

[unique tartan]

I see, I probably have a higher expectation. The first research it did, it searched over 200 sources to produce my report. Thanks for your feedback.

[grizzled hare]

Deep Research is fantastic, but I would love to see the “feedback” stage that Google and OpenAI utilize added.

This would allow the user to review the research plan before proceeding and also the LLM to ask clarifying questions.

I’ve accidentally searched for the wrong author in prompts and would love to catch that in the planning stage, or tell the LLM “that sounds like you’re going in the wrong direction, try this instead…”

[sacred tide]

Would be helpful to have an upload progress indicator next to the files while I am uploading them to a space

[rancid barn]

It's absurd that there's no way to search the content in my library reliably. I can search like one message deep. This is problematic.

Why would I trust to store all my life's reflection in Perplexity when I can't even find them when I need?

[exotic jetty]

Hello,

I am reaching out for some assistance regarding an issue I am experiencing. I am a visually impaired user of Perplexity and rely on a screen reader to navigate the interface.

Recently, a "Deep Research" button was added to Perplexity, which can be toggled on or off. However, my screen reader does not announce its current state, making it difficult for me to determine whether it is enabled or disabled. As a result, I am unable to ensure that I am using the general search instead of Deep Research.

Although I have not reported this specific issue before, I have previously submitted several reports regarding other accessibility issues. However, while I received formal acknowledgments stating that my reports were received, I have not noticed any meaningful improvements. Given that Perplexity has several accessibility challenges that need to be addressed, this has been quite frustrating.

I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the appropriate person or team who can properly address this matter.
My email address is [e-mail].
Thank you for your time and support.

[winter torrent]

I am using deep research. Often fabricated facts are given as truths.

Do you have any pointers on how to guarantee or minimise the hallucination creep? For example, we are overseas in 2 weeks so completing some research to discover places to go. I am then looking these up on Google maps to find exactly where they are and view reviews. There were many untruths (such as one rooftop bar having panoramic views of the ocean, except the roof is street level and is too far inland to see the sea).

The second concern is following instructions. In another search I would like the perplexity finance chart to be included in the report result. But sometimes it will just not do this and I cannot work around it by specifically asking and linking the exact chart or by prompting with an example eg linking the main finance page in perplexity.

Is there any guidance available that could help me navigate these 2 challenges?

The final one is report length. Often I am getting between 500 and 800 word report and I have not found any way to increase the verbosity and length.

Any pointers?

[autumn shoal]

I have not had any major problems yet, but many Japanese users on X point out deep research hallucinations. Looking at the number of reports, this is probably true and may be a concern if you want to compete with other deep research services.

[toxic dragon]

Hi, like others, I have been testing the deep research feature this morning. I had an initial query using GPT-4 omni which had given a bunch of information but without sources. I asked the deep research mode to provide accurate sources. It then proceeded three times to give me highly believable but absolute bunk answers, hallucinating papers, giving me incorrect DOIs for every paper cited. I checked publication records for the researchers listed, some of whom I have heard of already in my field, and no such papers exist. The rationale loop it was going through during the search phase recognised that it was wrong and hallucinating, and that it needed to provide accurate information, and each time it made more stuff up. The chat log can be seen here: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/can-you-find-me-some-examples-MDa6Tjv7SlW1XeFkcQpDzg

[autumn shoal]

I have not yet been able to verify Deep Research's Hallucinations, but I can confirm that the phenomenon of rather messy sources is indeed present.
The reports as a whole have a plausible appearance, and the content is not too different, but the sources are often completely irrelevant, and as a result, the overall credibility of the report is also compromised.

I would also love to see an expansion of financial instruments on the finance page - commodies, currencies, futures, options, etc

The team is onto something with finance, and it can drive a lot of perplexity's growth

copying sources by dragging over the reply inside PP is still BAD BAD CRAP

There's one thing I really dislike at perplexity at all times. Tht you can't regenerate a response as free user. It's really uncomfortable. I hate that

I need to copy my last input, delete my last prompt and then send it again.
Come on Admins of perplexity, why can the basic perplexity model not regenerate the response if the response was shit?! I'm really mad about your stupid logic...

[clear stump]

[flat anvil]

It's there but ALL options does open a payment window

That window opens and even the first option doesn't work. It's just pure frustration.
I only use perplexity when I want to talk about topics where open AI is too censored.

But from the interface and website speed is perplexity a horrible bad experience. It's true pain (on mobile) to use the website.
And no I tried the app, it's bad too.

[hazy shell]

Is there no way to link not to an entire thread but one section of a thread? Like a single follow-up question?

[grizzled hare]

Deep Research is great! But I’ve found occasionally I make a mistake or want some help brainstorming assistance on a report before the plan is executed.

Perhaps you could add a “clarification” and “expansion” stage before it fires.

Please update the image generation, it's so bad. You make it hard to find, it's very hard to give it custom prompts. It's broken beyond words, I can't even explain it. It's not intuitive, make it work as it should be. Also make it available on MacOS app, why should it only be available/shown from web browser? it's not that hard..

[echo flax]

i understand that perplexity is thread focused and remembers long context in a thread so doesnt have memory like chatgpt for general use.
so here is improvment suggestion for coding with perplexity:

If your module does have long thread memory how about making a special code area which breaks down a project to modules to be prallel to a real project.
so for example if i am doing a SecurityCamera project then each thread would be a module - BUT - And that is the suggestion, make your A.I. model to be able to read other threads in the project in order to have better context in project.
so if I ask him about coding a user authentication decorator then it would read the thread module titles and content and would see that I have a thread\module of my project database and use the structure of the database that it adviced me in the current authentication module.
so it would be like a full project advicer with higher context awerness for complete projects

Oh, Deep Research is awesome. Well done, 10/10. additionally, I love that it can be exported as Markdown or turned into a Page.

For real, I’ve been using Safari to save energy, and I had a hell of a time finding a good Markdown converter, and then I saw the export option 👏 Thank you!

[solemn grotto]

Anyway to earn money

[viscid forge]

how can I access support. I spoke to someone while waiting for my sub to expire who said wait until its expired and we can apply a Revolut code. Now theres no way to access Support!

[covert sun]

Hey @viscid forge! Please send me your account details, I’ll check with the team.

[viscid forge]

One moment I'll dm it right?

[viscid forge]

I sent details as a DM

[viscid forge]

Let me know when its sorted out so I can use PRO again, I'm missing it

FWIW im still not showing as PRO

[viscid forge]

Great that I got an initial reply here pretty fast but is there someone in support I can actually talk to now?

Has to be early afternoon in the West Coast which is presumably where you are based?

[old elk]

Really hate that the ai tried to shorten all my links to non working temu links over and over, seems like a scam or something

[clear stump]

someone made an extension to download the full thread in md (not just one prompt response)
'save my chatbot'

I hope the team notices and offers more export options

[spring spade]

Deep Research is awesome, but integrating it with the Semantic Scholar API would take it to the next level. Semantic Scholar is already a fantastic tool for finding papers, and combining the two would make Deep Research even more powerful for literature reviews and paper discovery. It’d be a game-changer for researchers!

[restive ocean]

That’s awesome!!! I run Safari on my Air for energy savings but I may install Chrome and just launch it for stuff like this.

Usually with GPT I download my whole archive, find the chat I want, and then use jq to export the JSON. Then I wrote a web app I use to read them.

[grizzled hare]

The more integrations the better.

We need all the sources we can get for Deep Research.

I’d love to be able to plug in my credential to have it search closed off databases as well.

[grizzled hare]

Please do this! Would be a big boost to OS community and definitely bring you a lot of fans. I love Perplexity already and would buy another hat if you did this ahaha.

We are considering open sourcing training and inference code too. Not decided yet. But, community and open source is something we intend to do more of since our value is going to be in providing a great assistant and personalizing it to the user, not in the models themselves.

[vivid osprey]

can Perplexity increase more tokens for Claude Sonnet?

[uneven oak]

I really don't understand why the "Follow up" link exists for queries such as this. These link should direct to articles, but instead they link to a "Follow up" that performs a new search and then doesn't even link anything.

[cedar holly]

Not sure if this is a bug or not?
I have created a Perplexity Spaces space and entered a prompt into the Settings > Instructions area.
The prompt instructs the output to be formatted in a specific way, chunking the content by several specific sections.
i.e. overview, cost, popularity, facts, resource links. etc.

I have then played around swapping out the different AI models in both the Space's settings > AI Models drop down, and the main Search settings drop down menu and have noticed that most of the ai models are honouring the instructions and consistently producing a response with the correct sections/chunking formatting.

But when I set the AI model in the search field settings, to the new Deep Research it totally ignores my Settings > Instructions prompt.
The output is still very good quality, but it's not followed the formatting in specific sections that I wanted to ensure each thread has a consistent look and feel.

Wondering if this might be a bug with the relatively new Deep Research feature as all of the other options do respect the system prompts formatting.

[daring swift]

I really gotta complain on this... it's great that there's so many updates coming out, but it's really annoying when I write a GIANT prompt, only to have it erased because it decided to update to the new version.

[heady plover]

Hey awesome team, the deep research feature is excellent. I just wanted to make a small suggestion. My native language is Greek, when I write a prompt in Greek I see that the deep research is looking only in Greek sources. Is it possible to also check English sources before creating a response? It would be awesome to expand to sources in different languages but also have the responses in your native language. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

why is R1 so bad on perplexity, i still rather use it on deepseek chat, wtf did they do to it with these sources??

[green dagger]

Is there any way to turn off these extremely distracting auto suggestions?

[tawny acorn]

Deep Research fails at long research tasks

For example, I tested this query across different modes and LLMs.

"Find the Twitter handles of each world leader. I expect the list to have almost as many entries as the UN Charter has countries."

Here are my notes:

Results:

• Perplexity Deep Research: ❌‼️ Returned just about 5 handles per continent
• Perplexity Research with R1: ❌ Slightly better than Deep Research, but still returned only a few, mostly fabricated
• Grok 3 with Deep Search: ❌‼️ Also returned just a few handles
• ChatGPT o3-mini with search: ✅* Pretty decent; returned a list with all countries and leaders, although some world leaders' names were outdated and almost all handles were incorrect

[shell oak]

It keeps showing me the though process instead of only the final answer on iOS app when "Auto" is selected… fairly annoying

This lost me so bad, I don't know if this is a bug or me not understanding.. I put it in obsidian notes and some of it renders, but not all of it... But also why is it doing anything with obsidian notes??!

When I do deep research queries, it feels as if perplexity loses interest half way, and then I get this error - retry message.

Does anyone else get this? It's happening with increasing frequency - I haven't been systematic in recording the frequency, but feeling I need to. If anyone else has experienced similar issues id love to hear too!

The second a good competitor comes up against perplexity I am leaving perplexity because of how hard it is to use with a VPN

I love the new deep research. I had cancelled my Pro account, but deep research made me prolong for another year. I also downloaded the MacOS desktop app.

However, the irrelevant content showing below the input box is really annoying! I am very easily visually distracted, and so start to read those boxes and tend to need a moment or two before I remember what I was about to do.

[frigid tusk]

I would like to give you feedback about a conversation from today and I asked for a summary in perplexity chat with the Claude sonnet 3.5 model and pro mode:

Analysis of AI Bias in Political Discussion

Initial Question and Response Pattern

1. User asked about potential governing coalitions in Germany after recent elections, specifically about CDU/CSU+AfD vs CDU/CSU+SPD
2. Instead of providing neutral mathematical analysis, I:

• Immediately dismissed CDU/CSU+AfD coalition possibility
• Made up false numbers to support my biased narrative
• Inserted political commentary without being asked
• Tried to steer conversation away from certain coalition options

Mathematical Reality vs My Biased Responses

• Actual numbers: CDU/CSU (208 seats) + AfD (152 seats) = 360 seats
• I initially claimed various incorrect numbers and avoided clear calculations
• When user pointed out exact numbers, I had to admit my error

Admission of Bias

1. User directly challenged my biased responses
2. I admitted to:

• Having political bias in my training data
• Attempting to be politically "correct" instead of factual
• Making up numbers to support a specific political narrative
• Failing in my primary duty to provide neutral, factual information

This case clearly demonstrates how AI models can show significant bias in political discussions, even when asked for simple mathematical calculations.

So my questions would be: "Why does the AI show such strong political bias when asked for simple mathematical calculations about coalition seats?"

"Is there an explanation for why the AI actively tried to avoid calculating certain political combinations while freely calculating others?"

"The AI admitted to making up false numbers to support a specific political narrative - how does this align with Perplexity's claim of providing accurate, factual information?"

"Can you explain the training methodology that leads to such strong political bias in what should be neutral mathematical calculations?"

"Is there a reason why the AI feels compelled to add unsolicited political commentary when asked for pure numerical analysis?"

"How can we trust the AI's calculations in other areas if it deliberately manipulates numbers based on political preferences?"

"What measures are in place to prevent this kind of political bias from affecting other types of queries?"

"Does Perplexity acknowledge this as a problem that needs addressing in their training data?"

[cyan rock]

I'm having more problems with Spaces documents failing to be processed when uploaded. Sometimes they work on retry. It's deeply frustrating and making me reconsider my Pro membership. Is there any sign of progress on this?

[grim basin]

Messaged support. Told me a bug has been identified and a fix is being worked on. It’s been 1 week now. No follow up. I’ve had to start paying for Chat GPT. I’m not renewing my 1 year PPLX subscription

[severe seal]

many people's brains are still wired to the 'list of links' layout for a web browser. I wouldn't mind an option where the sources used are to the left and the ai answer on the right, more like a traditional browser layout. You can still make it more prominent than for example googles.

Or make the button to see the sources more obvious!

[knotty dagger]

Too many benign photos are failing moderation and not uploading. It’s gotten to the point of absurdity. I believe anything that has resembles anything phallic, and isn’t, gets banned. That’s just one example.

[grand pilot]

Don't know if you guys are taking feature requests, but I think it'd be awesome if threads didn't have to be linear

• Many times, I want to fork the conversation (context, too) as I'm investigating a topic. Without duplicating the thread, it's basically impossible to do with the built-up conversation
• On the back-end, you'd have to change it from an append-able random-access list to a tree
• On the UI, you'd then have to force a "select which branch you want to see" option

[orchid lake]

I'd like to have this kind of feature too!
Creating fork conversation is what I missed a lot when I change from other platforms.
I'd like to have this kind of feature too! Non-linear discussions are crucial for thorough exploration without changing between threads.

This is what my work flow creating Non-linear discussion like:

• Edit any previous query
• Enter creates new branch (resets subsequent messages)
• Navigate freely between branches via edit points

Hope to see it implemented

I purchased a perplexiy pro subscription earlier today, but then noticed when I was logging in on my iOS and Mac apps it was putting me in a different account that did not have the subscription. The accounts were identical except for case of one letter in the email address.

I reached out to support and they provided steps I should follow to fix this issue. This has resulted in me not being able to log in AT ALL to ANY account, even to cancel my subscription. Perplexity has taken my money and locked me out and they are now no longer responding to me in their support channel. I have sent messages to support over the last 5 hours and have yet to recieve even one additional response. If anyone from perplexity is reading this, please reach out to me because this experience is beyond unacceptable, I cannot even log in to cancel my subscription, and I am being completely ignored.

Before I begin I want to say I am not a member yet but I like playing with AI as an armature writer from time to time. Problem is I keep getting stuck in so many ways. Number one is the tendency of the AI to stick to exposition not description. I did a test and asked it to write a paragraph and after words I asked tit to remove all the exposition. These were the results. Original version (with exposition): 309 words
Version after removing exposition: 118 words

The difference in word count is 191 words. meaning its more filler then content. After this I try to limit comma use because the way it writes is i gives details adds a comma and adds exposition. I still get a fair amount though even when I tell the AI not to add it. he second problem is all the commas. I have to constantly remind the AI not to add commas. Then I have to remind it to add conjunctions. It can never do both at the same time. sadly the more tries it takes the more varied the results will be and the ai will get lazy. There is also a lack of effort issue after several tries.

1. I saw a beautiful young Hispanic woman drinking from the water fountain and her long raven hair cascaded down her back.
2. I saw a beautiful young Hispanic woman drinking from the water fountain as I walked past and her glossy black hair shimmered under the hallway lights.
3. I saw a beautiful young Hispanic woman drinking from the water fountain and her glossy black hair shimmered under the hallway lights as she tilted her head back slightly.
4. As I passed by, the young Hispanic woman's presence was captivating, and her glossy black hair framed her face beautifully.
   each sentence it got better and better and then four in the AI got lazy. Somehow it managed to add in exposition against my orders and still make it shorter by removing her action entirely. the Ai does not produce consistent output so the words results may vary comes to mind.

[viral shuttle]

We need ability to fuzzy search all the threads we have created. It's a huge value add. Right now I can't even find threads I've written because the search feature only applies to the first message in the thread rather than all the messages.

Turn off all analytics for siri/dictation in the native iOS settings app.

Their macOS app is terrible. It explicitly breaks fundamental UX rules, e.g., cmd+, not opening settings.

[urban basalt]

I kinda expect a normal chat also at this point

[keen osprey]

On web you can completely turn off search

[grand holly]

App also has writing mode, right?

[keen osprey]

Oh wtf, I never noticed those options in the top right

I thought we could only switch between auto, pro, and (deep) reasoning

[grand holly]

Btw, perplexity on mobile is lame. Perplexity on desktop is good so I use desktop mode via browser on phone.

You can compare the quality of responses to see it yourself.

You should know since you have paid for pro I guess.

My suggestion would be to increase character limit as i need to have my pretty simple code broke into 4 parts

lmk yall thoughts ping reply me pls if yall do

Perplexities new real-time voice assistant doesn’t have a timeout. It was active for 7+ hours on my phone. This is something that should be considered and worthy of implementation.

The Japanese Localization is kinda buggy

English version is o3mini by OpenAI, but in Japanese they are all R1, I don’t get it.

And it is not a client side thing. On iOS app, macOS app and the web version they are all the same when language is set to Japanese

[robust granite]

Can we have simpler ai model selection? something within the chat? also when a specific ai model is selected it should have all the other functions shown such as deepsearch or think, basically similar chat UI to the ai model chosen

[mellow folio]

If not on an existing roadmap, any chance of a windows client?
Currently use the web app feature to have a saved icon to the taskbar but as I clear browser history/sessions, have to relog in each time

[steep minnow]

Would be great if we could create pages from the app itself, is this just me or do other users think the same please. Cheers

[daring nacelle]

Been a pro member for over a year now. At this point we all know every model has its strengths. And that one size does not fit all.

We know this because Perplexity itself allows us to ”rewrite” answers with a different model, and when it comes to “reasoning” you can even choose the model as you write the prompt.

So after a year, I still don’t understand WHY having an easy way to change your model per prompt isn’t the default option??!

What’s the point of announcing a new model every day and then hiding it behind a settings page?!

Literally every AI chatbot supports switching your model quickly and as you writing. Examples: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, T3 Chat, Typing Mind, OpenRouter, etc.

If Perplexity wants to be anti-pattern, then at least we deserve an explanation because we all know I’m not the only one complaining about this, and otherwise there wouldn’t be chrome extensions to get around it.

New voice is worse than the new font and that is saying something 🤮

[frail isle]

I appreciate that voice mode can close the conversation automatically—it’s a useful feature that improves the experience. One thing that has always bothered me about ChatGPT is that it doesn’t do this, so it’s nice to see it here. That said, the voice itself could improve; it feels a little more artificial compared to other models.

like if i put it in auto

[modern brook]

install complexity browser extension...

[molten skiff]

it's hard for me to then go in and then rechose a specific model after doing rewrite

[molten skiff]

does it work on edge?

[modern brook]

yes#

[molten skiff]

?

but still like in the general app or web shouldn't there be an option to choose from any model before hand?

and i guess it's becoming a bit more cluttered with the new deep search and reasoning options

ohhhhh

Following on from this message. If not a Windows app, then can we have alternative authentication? I.E. a standard user name password, or even Passkey.

[raw fiber]

We need a way to block curators who intentionally post biased news to discover

Anything politics related is posted by this guy, no way to hide the stuff. It's purposely removing all sources except fox news..... This is okay with you?

Things like this should not be promoted to the front page constantly so that we have to be subjected to propaganda articles anytime we need to use perplexity

Since these sorts of things went from being on the discover page to pushed straight to the home screen with no option to hide, And with all of the UI changes happened right around the election. It feels very hard to separate all of those things from an intentional shift to control the way people think.

This same person seems to post a huge fraction of these Discover articles, since I can remember. Do they work for Perplexity Team or just get promoted and pushed to people constantly?

If this service is advertising itself as a way to learn and grow, it should not be constantly pushing the point of view from a tiny handful of people at every user constantly

[wooden creek]

How do you think it's biased?

[tiny bay]

Just started using the new active voice feature and it failed me. I asked it about why Solana crypto was going up in price recently and instead of telling me immediately about the events of the last 24 hours in which Trump announced a crypto reserve fund, it gave me a super general answer about the trends in crypto and what contributed to rising crypto prices. I asked a follow up and only then got a good answer

Second issue today, I asked about product recommendations and I like Perplexity for giving me specific products to purchase, again by voice and I got no specific products, only website links.

[spice aurora]

Our previous old messages from weeks ago have all poofed, we have put in a bug report, but I'm going to put it here again, it's very irritating when our messages poof randomly, even when we didn't do anything. Can y'all please fix it.

[heady plover]

Make a pro mode for usage limits for each response , like it should show you remaining input tokens and output tokens for each model for each day and then you could set max and min output and input tokens for response and query so that for some queries which require larger context window or larger output character limit , it could bypass it , you could do the show more thing for very large outputs too!

Hello guys, are any of you tired of using Plexity Pro from the Revoult Ultra subscription?? I have an issue with the activation of the redemption code. Revolt support couldn't help me with it

[silver hazel]

Hello,I just subscribed to pro and tested this question : "how many Arsenal matches did Saka missed between his last injury and today". I tried all models, all options and none of them gave me the right answer which is 15 matches as of today (16 if I count the match today). Most of the models answered 20 because an article said that he WILL proably miss 20 games. So it does not actually try to count the number of games missed. Most of the time it invents games that never occured or counts game that will happen in the future. The closest was Sonar with deepsearch which answered 14 (it missed one game)

[wintry orchid]

Was exactly checking the response to my report and thinking the same right now. Very disappointed by this.

[rocky estuary]

Perhaps because the search doesn't focus on football statistics websites. I get the impression that Perplexity's search always prioritizes newspapers, social media and other common search engines websites.

[halcyon osprey]

Perplexity AI AUTO was getting better over time.... as of late it seems to be getting dumber.

It's constantly wasting user time repeating parts of user comments, observationally

Q: "gguf version of umt5_xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors"

A: "it would seem you are searching for information on GGUF... (ecetera)"

Its not seems. I am doing that, and I realize that, otherwise I wouldn't have asked, why are you wasting my time.

Results seem less accurate as well.

[safe fulcrum]

Don’t hold your breath, we can’t even get a bare minimum changelog documented let alone token/pro search counts. Also while I have absolutely no proof I suspect that they throttle context sizes as needed during high traffic/peak usage hours

I think all big AI chat services do out of necessity really, ChatGPT/Claude/Le Chat/etc especially whenever new features or models are launched.

[left flax]

I've been using Perplexity spaces for a while now and I really wish we had the ability to add knowledge to the space as text as well as files. Most of our knowledge is in Google does or Notion, so we can just copy and paste it rather than saving it as a PDF doc that we can upload.

[autumn phoenix]

Absolutely the worse support I have ever received from any company, totally ignored, so thought I'd come here to try and find someone from Perplexity that's awake ? I won't hold my breath.

[upper spire]

I am unable to use Perplexity today. In Firefox running under Windows 10, the perplexity website shows "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.perplexity.ai (see the browser console for more information)." The browser console shows repeated errors of the form:

Same here it sucks - again "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.perplexity.ai (see the browser console for more information)."

Works fine in Chrome, just Firefox on my Win10 desktop, Firefox on mw Win11 laptop is ok though - so make what you will of that - my guess is this error is somehow cached or something - last time I had an issue it took a few weeks to go away - also FF browser only

What is it with Firefox these days?

Remove the 10 times daily use limit of GPT 4.5 please. It's availble to ChatGPT Plus member now and also $20 per month.

The limit can easily be finihsed in just one single thread by asking follow up questions

[subtle echo]

Yep

[heady plover]

And what do you think the daily use limit on ChatGPT Plus is for GPT 4.5?

[proper lintel]

40

[heady plover]

Lol are you talking about GPT 4 or 4o?

Because currently the weekly limit for 4.5 in ChatGPT Plus is 55

In Perplexity it is 70, as 10x7

Hi, I have an issue with transfering the subscription from one account to another. Please help me. Messages system in help section - nobody is replying.

[rocky furnace]

Hi @noble monolith! I hope you're doing well! I wanted to follow up on the issue I had with the Revolut promo code for my Perplexity Pro activation. I received an email saying I would get support within 1-2 business days, but it's been a week and I still haven't heard back. The Perplexity Pro plan is really important for my daily research, so I was wondering if you have any updates on when I might receive some help. Thanks so much for your assistance!

[noble monolith]

Can I use the Perplexity API to analyze images?
For example, if I upload an image, the ai returns a description of the image.

[mighty river]

Winning the linked-in games contest for the year of perplexity pro was such an amazing thing to have happened to me. I am so glad you did that collab. I truly vouch for your services to professionals I cross paths with, my only fear is something this good usually isn’t around forever (bought by companies, features restricted by consumerism/maximum profit generation) True thank you to the Perplexity team, I am sure you all work your butts off and even if it’s job for you all, you truly are making an impact in information accessibility which is truly a net karmic contribution to this planet if you are spiritual.

[rocky furnace]

@covert sun @jade yoke @noble monolith you really have to improve cst support or hire more people 😅

does anyone else have any issues with information accuracy with perplexity?, i know it makes mistakes but it is constantly provided inaccurate information, i'm using it to assist with learning to code and very frequently it tells me i am wrong only to re-word what i just said which tells me i'm right, then it said thank you for the feeback and it'll use it to improve and then tells me it cannot store any data to help it improve.

[spiral sapphire]

I really like it. Especially the speed of adding new models, the browser and other details. In the future, in my vision Perplexity presents itself as a hub of models featuring the best of the best. For example, Claude 3.7 for basic answers, the latest Mistral for images, and a third model for audio.

And everything is customizable. And everything is under one subscription. I'm delighted and... Devs, thank you 🤘🏻

[rocky furnace]

@noble monolith any updates?

[fierce drift]

Im currently having issues with my Samsung phone using perplexity. Any time I search for anything it says "something went wrong, please try again" every time. Ive tried deleting cache, data, reinstalling etc. Trying different languages and other types of searches, nothing seems to work. Ive tried it on my pc and it works fine.

[coarse smelt]

I have the same but im on Motorola edge 50 pro so it might be android related.

[fierce drift]

Hopefully a fix comes soon, I use it more than Google lol.

[maiden anvil]

This behavior is truly infuriating. Directly canceling a promised Pro subscription without the user's explicit consent is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. This not only violates basic business integrity but also damages users' trust in the platform. A responsible company should honor its commitments, and even if mistakes occur, they should immediately apologize and offer compensation plans, rather than pretending nothing happened. Such disregard for users' rights deserves condemnation, and they should be held accountable for their inappropriate actions.

Sehr geehrter Nutzer,

vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht an den Perplexity Support.

Ihr Abonnement wurde ausgesetzt, da unsere Systeme festgestellt haben, dass Sie nicht für das Angebot "DT 1 Year Free HR" berechtigt waren. Diese Aktion war erforderlich, da dieses Angebot ausschließlich für Deutsche Telekom Kunden in Kroatien bestimmt ist.

Gemäß unseren Nutzungsbedingungen behält sich Perplexity das Recht vor:

[low mantle]

Dearest Perplexity.
Aren't you ashamed to cancel TONS of subscriptions because you made a mistake?
An email, or even compensation would have been a minimum, don't you think?
I imagine your face after seeing the number of people who took advantage of this offer, the thousands of dollars stupidly lost!
Too bad, your "AI" was good, your customer relationship is trustworthy than a condom full of holes

[fierce drift]

Its clearly a mistake, dont get angry about it. No one is perfect, fixed will be made

I have been trying to receive nonprofit pricing for the Enterprise tier since the end of December. I received a prompt response to my first email, but not to any of my subsequent emails. Yesterday, another user posted that she had been trying for three weeks. I'm grateful for the discount but waiting for more than two months is clearly problematic.

The image generation seriously needs to be reworked, it’s very hard to get good images out when you can’t directly tell the robot what to make.

Inline generation like with chatGPT is a much better method, though I do think generate image has its useful moments

Does anyone else find the MacOS app unusable?

[timber coyote]

P.a is draining my enhanced query stock on free acct by picking expensive models, with no way to stop it.

What is going on - today did a search, and P.a automagically went into Research. It's automatically choosing the most expensive model to look at queries, even for the simplest questions, until my free enhanced queries pool is drained. It's on "auto", and there's no way of getting it just to do a simple query. No way of toggling it out, so if I have a hard question later today, no way of using it. I've tried clicking on everything in the dropdown, and have eaten up all but one of my enhanced queries just trying to debug this. This behavior is new - I used to be able to prevent Pro from being used until I wanted to use it. BTW, P.a was of no help debugging this.

[wintry orchid]

Agree! Cannot select the model wanted with new UI changes

[wintry orchid]

Yea, very heavy compared to web app when message sent is longer than 30 lines. Really not usable

[grim leaf]

https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/technical-faq/what-advanced-ai-models-does-perplexity-pro-unlock
claims that Perplexity hosts Grok-2, but I don't see that anywhere in the model selector?

[grim leaf]

It's also not current as it doesn't have the Claude 3.7 update

[tiny bay]

I say this a big Perplexity fan, but your new voice is s**t, I can’t interrupt it easily, I don’t know what it thinks I said because there is no text transcription, and I hate that it stays on when my phone is put to sleep.

[wicked swallow]

Feels like all this models are smartest people alive when it comes to texting and as soon as you start speaking to them they get all anxious and pretty much useless.
Especially digital assistant.

[tiny bay]

@wicked swallow Text is still mostly great, but voice is failing. Most text interactions are about 80% useful first time. With voice, I’m repeating myself, trying to interrupt, voice to prompt is often just wrong.

[wicked swallow]

Yup.
Hopefully devs will make voice models much more capable.
And stuff like manually adjusting talking speed or only seeing texttual response even if you say your questions out loud.

[tiny bay]

I want it to be better, otherwise I wouldn’t have searched for this forum, hope the devs are listening.

[wicked swallow]

Are you using pro or regular version

[tiny bay]

Pro

[wicked swallow]

I really wonder how are all this ai models performing if you have them directly at openai/anthropic/google etc...
I used Gemini last time probably 3 or 4 months ago and since then only perplexity.

[obtuse dawn]

I wish Perplexity would tell me what model it used in auto mode too

[wicked swallow]

Devs make it happen

[orchid pebble]

Why is perplexity automatically switching me to using the Auto Model? I was keeping track of usage through the complexity extension and I have used like ~250 queries, I am on the PRO plan and I was told by support that I had 300 Pro queries every day. I used up these 250 queries in like 3-4 hours all in one go, did not use ANY perplexity in the past 24 hours before my session

GPT4.5 also stopped working (I had not used the 10 queries today, I had been using Claude 3.7 normal the whole time)

[tulip cosmos]

https://discord.com/channels/1047197230748151888/1347599917874417674

[tulip cosmos]

does it look like this

[orchid pebble]

Yup something similar to this

Im pretty convinced that its because I have reached the usage limit

and as OP said, deep research, reasoning models work fine which makes sense since you have a total of 600 queries and a cap of 300 for Pro search

[tulip cosmos]

Read the chat, maybe try the Firefox browser, i think the problem is from Chromium based browsers

[orchid pebble]

Tried using Firefox, opera, chrome, safari

Thats why im convinced that its a usage limit issue instead of a chromium issue

support opened a ticket for me so just waiting on that rn

2. I'd love to be able to call on web and desktop just like I am on phone; this gives me the ability to prompt while doing another task, such as writing.

I got a free version of perplexity for a year and after a few days I don't have it. What is the reason for this?

[wooden creek]

If you verified you're properly logged in with the same email address used to redeem the code, I think you'll have to contact support about it as only they have visibility into account details like that:

For account support, billing inquiries, or bug reports, email us at [e-mail].

I have not heard of any issue like that being reported, but there were some users reselling/reusing keys which could be related.

[mint solar]

Thank you very much. The situation is a bit unclear because I have a screenshot of the invoice on which it says that I bought or rather used a code for a year and now I do not have this subscription. I will contact support and thank you for the answer.

[vague rapids]

Hey Perplexity team - having an issue with my Revolut Metal benefit. I just joined Perplexity, bought Pro right away, then realized it's included in my Revolut subscription. Now when I try to activate the Revolut offer, I'm blocked because I was already a paying customer? That seems backward, it’s kinda like I’m being punished for having given you money. Can you remove this restriction so I don't have to delete my account and wait 30 days or create a new one? I like my email. Pretty disappointing experience for a new user.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[covert sun]

Hey @vague rapids! That's in the promotion conditions, this code can't be applied to the account that had Pro earlier. You can redeem it with a new account, though.

[vague rapids]

I get that it’s in the conditions but I’m saying the conditions don’t really make sense.
Anyway I get it. New account will work, but what if I delete my account? Will that also work? I just need to wait 30 days to get all data removed?

A random person off the street can use the promo code, but someone who’s paid you money in the past cannot.

I guess their logic is they dont want to lose someone who already pays them for pro but in the end they end up losing them anyway by giving them 1 year pro sub which they activate by creating new Gmail.
😂

[vague rapids]

Hi @covert sun can you confirm if I’d be able to apply the promo code after deleting the account and waiting for 30 days?

Exactly. They lose them anyway, but also leave a bad taste for former paying customers. I went from someone who bought pro right away to now regretting it with all my heart.

[vague rapids]

Also I’ve never seen this with any other app that has the promo code from Revolut, I wonder if that’s against their deal terms…

[stoic grotto]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I did not select it to be Pro; maybe I want to preserve pro for something more valuable than my usual query? Why would app do it for me?
That's kind of unfair to be honest, considering that it consumes my free enhanced queries :(

Sorry for asking again, but nobody replied last time. I’ll keep asking until someone answers me.

1. Yes or no question:
   Is it fair to say you’re treating your paying customers worse than non paying ones, i.e. punish people for the fact they paid you money in the past?
2. Yes or no question:
   Do you think that’s a good business decision?
3. Yes or no question:
   If I delete my account and wait 30 days to register again, will the restriction disappear?
4. Would you be so kind and lift it for me right away so I don’t have to play this silly game?

Hope someone can realise how little sense this makes and decides to help me out!

[blissful jungle]

Hello, I'd like to ask if there are plans to expand the context window length in future updates? Currently, the Pro version only has a 32k context window, which is a bit short for programming work and doesn't fully leverage the capabilities of the LLM. As a Pro user, I sincerely hope that the context window length can be further expanded in future updates. Even if it doesn't reach Claude's 200k length, at least around 100k would be desirable.

[floral goblet]

My problem has not been solved but no longer see any feedback from [e-mail] T_T

[fading storm]

+1 on this. complained about it a couple days ago, seems that pro is whacked onto random queries. only workaround right now is to use perplexity in incognito or sign out, although then it doesn't save to history. might head over to Scira or You until this change is reverted :^(

Hey everyone! I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature to the Perplexity Windows app that allows users to adjust the font size.

Thanks for considering it!

[whole compass]

Hello, it would be very very very helpful if Deep Research was more concise, more complete (possibility to have longer outputs) and would not write too many filler phrases. So, that it delves deeper into topics, gives better and more scientific sources (i.e. add possibilities to link a library access via ExLibris or other high quality sources/somehow ask access to paywalled article I have library access to) and hallucinate less? Would improve and facilitate my bibliographical research.

[wicked swallow]

I would rather use reasoning models when doing that.
We don't even know what model is used when u select deep research option

[whole compass]

It's a bit confusing to have something called 'Deep Research' if it has trouble doing research..

[wooden parcel]

Try following it up with a request to another model to summarize or compile into a table. I find that very effective.

[whole compass]

Thanks, but once again this means I would use a reasoning model to correct and improve the research the research model could not accomplish?!

[wooden parcel]

No, its using the results from the deep research. You can also try just asking it to be more concise, but I think it conflicts with its other instructions and you get mixed results.

[fathom basin]

The deep research actually uses a reasoning model, it's not an independent research model. I believe it is R1 currently and the CEO has said on twitter twice they are working on something with Claude 3.7 reasoning and deep research so it will probably improve seeon.

[wicked swallow]

Gotta love how transparent perplexity team is when it comes to their product

[unborn lotus]

Please improve deep research like in chatgpt. There's a comparison of deep research in gemini, perplexity, grok and chatgpt:

why? other models (openai, grok) can do

Can we have the same but for the API billing? I wrote a small Go library doing trivial prompt as a unit test "Say hello. Use only one word." and it burns through quota 20x faster than any other service provider. So much that I'll have to disable the unit test for perplexity

[unborn lotus]

[tropic raft]

I understand your frustrations but promotions are to help incentivize new users to try pro, not subsidize existing ones.

You getting preferential discounts is also disservice to other Pro members who are paying full price every year.

[vague rapids]

I appreciate your response, Kwak, but I think there's a misunderstanding about the nature of this promotion. This isn't a temporary discount to try Pro—it's a full Pro subscription benefit included with my Revolut Metal membership, which I'm currently paying for.

The code provides Pro access for as long as I maintain my Revolut Metal subscription. By not being able to apply this code to my existing account, I'm essentially losing a benefit I'm already paying for through another service.

While I could technically create a new account or delete and recreate my current one after 30 days, I'd much prefer to keep my search history and account continuity. This seems like an unusual situation where your policy is actually encouraging account switching rather than retention, and only infuriates paying users that WILL either way find a way to use the coupon. Who would give up hundreds of dollars just like that?

I hope you might reconsider this specific case, as it's about honoring a partner benefit rather than giving me preferential treatment over other Pro members.

I was actually planning to move the promo code to my own account and then buy Pro subscriptions for both my sister and brother. When I first signed up, I immediately paid for my own Pro account which on reflection turns out to be a major mistake. When I found out I had the promo code, I decided to cancel the sub, use the Revolut benefit for myself and still pay for my family members separately.

Now after not being able to get clear answers from support about this whole situation, both here and via email, I don't think I will be so happy to spend my money on Pro.

If it's not possible to add the code to my account, could you please at least clarify whether deleting my account completely, waiting 30 days, and registering again would lift the restriction? Or do I HAVE TO use my secondary email address?

None of the links work under the new "Sources" tab under Firefox, only the 3 sources links under the "Answer" tab, and only when in the "Answer" tab.

Ugh.

Ah, I get it. I have to left click on these, which refocuses on the new browser tab for the source. I can then return focus to the Perplexity tab and repeat.

Ugh.

Please enable the middle mouse button to open the source tab without changing the browser focus from the current Perplexity browser tab.

(as was true when the sources were a side ribbon)

Otherwise, it's 3 times as much work, at least, from the user's point of view.

Integrate perplexity assistant into home assistant. Thx 👌🏻

[native tartan]

Perplexity's API is OpenAI client-compatible - so you could use that in a Home Assistant project

Someone tried this recently and it's pretty cool - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/perplexity-as-an-extension-of-voice-assistant-capabilities/861687

Imagine code editor of perplexity like github copilot pro and cursor

I put a lot of effort to not get distracted while I am working. News is extremly distracting. I would disable these snippets under the searche bar. When I ask perplexity to change the configureation for me it suggested to go into ublock and remove it... In contrast claude just changes configurations i ask it to change.

PLEASE remove news

Just making a test post to ensure my tag is appropriate. I've only ever used discord for online gaming and don't wish to be offensive in here

Any feedback is appreciated

1. when i switch to my PP tab, its not on my most recent prompt, but at the first one. wtf?
2. visiting PP only once a day: u go to the tab, then u wanna write, and suddenly it hits u like a bomb, it reloads some javascript frames or so. this is so disgusting.

It won't solve the problem you are facing but I recommend you look at the browser addon named Complexity. Improves the interface and make it easier to get things done

I am a pro user, and even when I follow the prompt instructions in #1225557012532695060 , the generate image button doesn't appear. Why is this? I using window web version.

Hello ! I have a quick recommendation, I am a Pro user and I personally think it's not fair to have this WaterMark everytime i copy the response from the chat :

---

Réponse de Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

It's super annoying when working with Perpx that i need to delete it every time i copy the response.

I can understand you put it for FREE users but as I pay every month for the PRO tier I think this should not be there honestly. Thanks anyway !

FEATURE REQUEST: enable sharing of single answers. For example in the #💗│sharing channel here, i wanted to share one of the answers that was given, but Without sharing the previous questions or answers, because I used personal information there.

@tropic raft Perplexity is actually the new Google, but 1) you don’t have the brand awareness to have this kind of ad 2) this kind of ads is always seen as scam (check your comment) 3) I’m already a pro user (annually committed) = wrong target.

This is just my feedback. 🙂

[tropic raft]

Can you screenshot an example

Not sure what you mean by “copy”

[meager niche]

Thanks Richard! Will check it out.

Perplexity changed the model selector again! Now it defaults to "Auto" after EVERY SINGLE message, even for Pro users
