Perplexity: Sonar Reasoning Pro
🇺🇸 Perplexity · Sonar Reasoning
Overview
Perplexity: Sonar Reasoning Pro is a large language model API from Perplexity, part of its Sonar Reasoning 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. Beyond plain text it also accepts Image input, so it can be applied to multimodal tasks rather than text alone. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 18 (D grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. 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.
