Summary
Perplexity's own perplexity/sonar model is listed on the Agent API with token-based pricing but is missing from the model catalog. This is Perplexity's first-party model exposed through the Agent API (distinct from the Sonar API sonar model which has per-request pricing).
Source verification
Cross-source verification
- Confirmed on Perplexity pricing page as an Agent API model with full pricing
- Confirmed on Perplexity guides/pricing page with matching pricing
- Not present in
model_list.json (grep confirmed zero matches for "perplexity/sonar" — only perplexity/sonar-pro-search exists)
- No existing open GitHub issue covers this model ID
Notes
perplexity/sonar is the Agent API variant with standard token-based pricing ($0.25/$2.50/$0.0625 per 1M tokens). This is distinct from the Sonar API model sonar which charges $1/$1 per 1M tokens plus $5–$12 per 1K requests
- The existing
perplexity/sonar-pro-search entry (line 13343) has available_providers: ["openrouter"] and uses a different pricing structure ($3/$15) — it is a separate model accessed via OpenRouter, not the same as this Agent API model
max_input_tokens and max_output_tokens are not included because Perplexity does not publish context window details for this Agent API model — these should only be added when officially documented
- Follows the
perplexity/ prefix convention used by other Agent API models (perplexity/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b, perplexity/kimi-k3, etc.)
