Perplexity / Perplexity Sonar
proPerplexity Sonar works differently from most models on Aymo. Instead of answering from what it learned during training, it searches the live web at the moment you ask and builds its answer from what it finds, with source citations included in every response. On Aymo, it's grouped in the Pro tier, so it's included on a wider range of plans.
Chat with it for questions where the answer depends on current information, like recent news, prices, or events, and for any research or fact-checking task where you want to see exactly where each claim came from. It's built for speed, with adjustable search depth so you can trade thoroughness for a quicker answer when needed.
It isn't built for coding, long-form creative writing, or deep multi-step reasoning. For those tasks, a general model on Aymo is the better fit, with Sonar working well alongside it to supply current, cited facts.
Why Perplexity Sonar
Aymo gives you more than access to Perplexity Sonar—it provides a complete multi-model AI workspace designed for productivity.
Ask about recent news, prices, or events, and get an answer pulled from the live web rather than a fixed training cutoff.
Get inline citations with every response, so you can check exactly which source each claim in the answer came from.
Verify a claim or statement by asking Sonar to confirm it against current, real sources rather than relying on memory.
Gather current facts and sources on a topic, then hand them off to a reasoning or writing model in the same thread for deeper work.
Choose between a quick answer or a more thorough search, depending on how much detail the question needs.
Get quick answers to fact-based questions, useful for high-volume question-and-answer work.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about using Perplexity Sonar on Aymo AI.
Real-time research, fact-checking, and current-information questions with cited sources. For coding, reasoning, or long-form writing, a general model fits better.
Access depends on your Aymo AI plan. Perplexity Sonar is available on supported paid plans. Check the latest pricing for details.
Yes, that's its core strength. Every answer comes with cited sources, so you can verify claims and trace information back to where it came from.
Select it from the model selector in any chat and ask your question. It searches the web and answers with citations. Switch to a reasoning or writing model mid-thread to build on what it finds.
No. It runs on your Aymo plan with no separate Perplexity account or API key needed. If you'd rather use your own Perplexity account, BYOK supports that on qualifying plans.
They do different jobs. Sonar searches the live web and answers with citations, making it stronger on current facts. GPT-5.5 is a general model built for reasoning, coding, and writing. Use Sonar for grounded, current-information answers and GPT-5.5 for general work.
