[BOT ISSUE] Add perplexity/sonar to model catalog (Perplexity Agent API) #1114

Description

@github-actions

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

Field Value Source
Model ID perplexity/sonar Perplexity Pricing
Input cost $0.25 / 1M tokens Perplexity Pricing
Output cost $2.50 / 1M tokens Perplexity Pricing
Cached input cost $0.0625 / 1M tokens Perplexity Pricing

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.)
