Models/Perplexity/Sonar Reasoning Pro

Sonar Reasoning Pro

Perplexity reasoning + search sibling of Sonar Pro. AA 18. OpenRouter $2 / $8 plus $0.005/request search. AA prints $0 / $0: that is not an invoice. Official pricing HTML did not yield an extractable Reasoning Pro token row (JS-rendered). No DeepSWE or vals row.

Closed search-grounded API. OpenRouter catalog 19 Aug 2026: $2 / $8, web search $0.005/request, 128k / 128k, created unix 1741313308.

Sonar Pro is the other Perplexity card (official $3 / $15 plus request fees on that page). sonar-deep-research is also live; Reasoning Pro is the leading sibling the owner named first.

Should I use this for coding agents

Use Reasoning Pro when you want Perplexity’s reasoning+search SKU. AA Intelligence Index 18. Do not bill at AA’s printed zeros. We do not invent a DeepSWE percent.

Ranked view: Best coding models: the independent leaderboard puts this row and every other card that carries an independent coding score on one board, with the confidence intervals left visible.

Named benches, printed only

Copied from AA or vals HTML we opened. 0.0% placeholder bars are omitted. Do not average these into the hero tiles, and do not invent CI, $/task, or steps for Artificial Analysis.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • Need Sonar Pro (the other card) or sonar-deep-research (live, not carded). Need DeepSWE or vals Accuracy. Neither board printed this SKU.
  • AA $0 / $0 is not an invoice. Official docs.perplexity.ai/getting-started/pricing HTML on 19 Aug did not yield an extractable Reasoning Pro token row.

Plus is $25/mo with $25 weekly hosted usage. The Mac app stays free with your own keys. Get Plus is not Download for Mac.

Weights

Perplexity does not publish Sonar Reasoning Pro weights. No HF Files button.

  • OpenRouter catalog 19 Aug 2026: $2 / $8, web search $0.005 per call.
  • AA prints $0 / $0 on this page. Do not invoice at those zeros. Official pricing page was JS-empty for a Reasoning Pro token row on this fetch.

What you can open

Lab card and OpenRouter listing only. No Hugging Face Files button, because there is no official repo to point at.

Fetched OpenRouter catalog on 2026-08-19. hugging_face_id was empty.

Continuum serving

Not listed as a Continuum hosted id. Pair a local Perplexity key.

Continuum hosted id not on the host list

We list first-party and OpenRouter, plus Continuum only when the live public allowlist named the id. This is not a 15-host routing table.

FAQ

Can I invoice at AA’s $0 / $0?

No. OpenRouter prints $2 / $8 plus $0.005/request search. Official HTML did not yield a competing token row on this fetch.

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.

OpenAI-compatible call

No Continuum hosted id is verified for this model, so this page does not invent a curl target. Use the first-party API or the OpenRouter slug perplexity/sonar-reasoning-pro.
