Sonar — language models with live web search built in.
Perplexity hosts the Sonar family — language models tightly integrated with a live web search index, designed for queries that need current information rather than long-context reasoning. US-hosted. Pick this route when freshness of factual answers matters more than model depth or strict residency.
