Sonar Deep Research model profile
Evidence snapshot:
Sonar Deep Research is a Perplexity model profile with a 128,000-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text modalities and interfaces for reasoning controls, text generation, web search pricing.
Sonar Deep Research is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.
Sonar Deep Research accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records reasoning controls, text generation, and web search pricing as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $2 input and $8 output per million tokens.
No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated.
No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.
Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.
