Do you know what model perplexity uses under the hood?

I just tried it out with my normal test queries and found it to be far worse than Google's Bard.




To be fair, Bard has massively improved recently and can in my brief experience even outperform 3.5-turbo for lots of things.


Except that it still has a short ctx size.


I'd disagree by far. I use Perplexity as my main search engine and am a paid subscriber. Copilot with GPT-4 or Claude is fantastic.


Paid accounts can use the Perplexity LLM, GPT-4, or Claude 2.
