On February 24, 2025, the platform announced support for the new AI model Claude3.7Sonnet (released by Anthropic). An official X post stated that the model had undergone internal testing for some time, showing significant improvements in agent workflows and code generation (Perplexity Pro X post).
Claude3.7Sonnet is described as Anthropic's most intelligent model to date, introducing a hybrid reasoning capability for the first time (Anthropic Claude3.7Sonnet details). It offers quick responses in standard mode or in-depth analysis in extended thinking mode, excelling particularly in coding and front-end development. The Perplexity Pro update aims to directly benefit users from these improvements.
Users can switch to Claude3.7Sonnet via the "AI Model" option in the Perplexity Pro settings. It's simple to do and requires no extra cost. This feature is now fully available, and users are encouraged to try it immediately (Perplexity Pro getting started guide).
Perplexity Pro offers at least 300 Pro searches per day and allows users to choose from various advanced AI models, such as GPT-4 and the Claude series (Perplexity Pro pricing and features). This update further enhances model selection, reflecting the platform's ongoing commitment to user experience optimization.
While the official announcement didn't disclose specific test data, the X post highlighted significant performance improvements, especially in agent workflows and code generation. User feedback and further research will help validate the real-world effectiveness of these improvements.
