Perplexity: Sonar Pro
Perplexity Sonar Pro accepts text and image inputs and supports a 200,000-token context window, making it capable of processing lengthy documents alongside visual content in a single session. Completions are capped at 8,000 tokens. It does not support tool use, reasoning modes, or structured output, so workflows that depend on those features will need a different model. At $3.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens, it sits at a moderate price point, though the output cost is worth watching in high-volume use cases. Its benchmark coverage is limited to one benchmark, producing a blended score of 13.9, which makes meaningful comparison against more thoroughly evaluated models difficult. Buyers who specifically need multimodal input with a large context window may find it worth shortlisting, but those prioritizing well-validated general performance should treat its benchmark standing as largely unproven at this stage.
