Perplexity Sonar

Use this skill when the research task needs current web-grounded synthesis and source citations. The Sonar API is OpenAI-compatible.

Environment

op run --env-file .env.climbhill -- python .agents/skills/deep-research-perplexity/scripts/ask.py \
  --prompt "deepresearch the deepresearchers" \
  --model sonar \
  --search-context-size low

Required 1Password-backed variable:

  • PERPLEXITY_API_KEY

Cost Controls

  • Prefer sonar or the lowest available Sonar model for smoke tests.
  • Use --search-context-size low for under-$1 benchmark smoke tests.
  • Use Sonar Deep Research only when the benchmark task truly needs deep multi-source reasoning.
  • Track token, citation, reasoning, request, and search-query costs when the API returns them.
