Perplexity: Sonar Deep Research
🇺🇸 Perplexity · Sonar Deep
Overview
Perplexity: Sonar Deep Research is a large language model API from Perplexity, part of its Sonar Deep model family. Priced at $2.00 per million input tokens and $8.00 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 4× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. The 128K-token context window — around 192 pages of text — comfortably handles long documents, multi-file code, or extended conversations. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
