| Description | |||
| Summary | Sonar Pro Search is Perplexity's most advanced agentic search system, available only via OpenRouter. It powers the Pro Search mode on Perplexity, adding autonomous multi-step research workflows instead of single-query answers. Pricing combines token costs with a per-request fee. | Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response. | Kimi K3.1 Pro is Moonshot AI's flagship open-weight multimodal reasoning model, building on Kimi K3 with enhanced post-training for advanced reasoning and autonomous task execution. It features a 1M-token context window and native image and video understanding, enabling complex, long-context multimodal workflows. Optimized for long-horizon coding, 3D creation, financial research, and end-to-end agentic knowledge work, Kimi K3.1 Pro is well suited for autonomous software engineering, multimodal analysis, and complex professional workflows that require sustained reasoning and reliable execution. |
