Perplexity Pro Adds Cutting-Edge AI Models
Perplexity Pro, the company’s premium subscription service. Now provides users with access to some of the most advanced AI models available. CEO Aravind Srinivas revealed that Pro subscribers can now use OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet, xAI’s Grok, Google DeepMind’s Gemini, and Perplexity’s own Sonar model, which runs on Cerebras hardware.

These updates make Perplexity Pro a more powerful and flexible AI tool. Offering users a wider range of choices for generating insights and completing tasks.
Comet: A New AI-Powered Web Browser
Alongside its AI model expansion, Perplexity has announced that it is developing Comet, an AI-driven web browser designed to enhance the way users interact with online information. While details remain limited, Comet is expected to offer intelligent search capabilities, seamless browsing, and advanced AI assistance.
With these upgrades, Perplexity AI continues to push the boundaries of AI-powered tools, making advanced AI search and computing more accessible and efficient for users.
Perplexity Integrates Claude 3.7 Sonnet for Advanced AI Reasoning
Perplexity AI is enhancing its AI-powered tools by integrating Claude 3.7 Sonnet into its Reasoning and Deep Research features. The company also announced Comet, an AI-driven web browser designed to revolutionize online search and browsing experiences.
Claude 3.7 Sonnet to Boost AI Reasoning Capabilities
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed that Claude 3.7 Sonnet’s advanced reasoning abilities will soon power the company’s Reasoning and Deep Research tools. This update aims to improve multi-step problem-solving and code generation, catering to both casual users and professionals.
With this integration, Perplexity Pro subscribers will gain access to enhanced AI-driven insights, making research and complex computations more efficient and accurate.
Comet: Perplexity’s AI-Powered Web Browser
Perplexity is also entering the web browser market with Comet, a new AI-driven browsing platform. The company introduced Comet on X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to join a beta waitlist for early access.
While specific details about Comet’s features remain undisclosed, Perplexity described it as a next-generation browser designed to go beyond traditional search. The company stated that Comet will leverage “agentic search,” an AI-powered system capable of performing tasks and making decisions autonomously.
A Perplexity spokesperson explained, “Just like Perplexity reinvented search, we’re also reinventing the browser.” Currently, Perplexity’s search engine processes over 100 million queries per week, demonstrating its growing influence in AI-powered information retrieval.
With Claude 3.7 Sonnet integration and the launch of Comet, Perplexity AI continues to push the boundaries of AI-driven technology, offering more intelligent and interactive digital experiences.
Perplexity’s Comet Browser to Compete with Google Chrome and AI-Powered Rivals
Perplexity’s entry into the web browser market puts it in direct competition with industry giants like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. With Chrome dominating the market, even major tech companies have struggled to gain traction.
Microsoft, for example, has integrated AI into Bing and Edge in an attempt to challenge Google, but its success has been limited. Despite AI-powered enhancements, Google’s dominance in search and browsing remains largely unshaken.
Perplexity also faces competition from emerging AI-native browsers like Dia, developed by The Browser Company. Set to launch this year, Dia introduces a unique approach, allowing users to issue natural language commands directly through the search bar. This feature enables users to locate documents, create calendar events, and find specific webpages effortlessly.
While Perplexity’s Comet browser is still in development, its AI-driven approach and agentic search capabilities aim to redefine web browsing, offering a smarter and more interactive experience. However, it remains to be seen whether Comet can carve out a significant share in the highly competitive browser market.
