So perplexity is introducing deep search to compete on this with OpenAI. That’s is perplexity trying to adjust itself to be focus on search and that was always their unique selling point over other LLMs. So now they feel like they will need to adjust for the competition. That would be interesting, they are marketing aggresievly recently. They even have some agreements with other services and even ISPs. Lets see how this goes. I will try it and see how it compares to Gemini. Maybe post a comparison sometime.
Key Takeaways
- Perplexity claims that it conducts thorough investigations, simulating human-like reasoning and refining its approach based on the information gathered.
- After evaluating source materials, it compiles findings into clear, comprehensive reports
- They also claim that It achieves a 21.1% accuracy score on Humanitys Last Exam, outperforming several leading AI models. But I always doubt these benchmark results.
I don’t usually like the idea of LLM being responsible for these research complex tasks not only because of hallucination and effectivness problems. But mainly because of how it encourage people to do poorly in the congitive tasks. We need to train outselves to conduct these complex tasks and it usually combination of knowledge and exploration is what allow us to do the tasks of research. So while I feel that I would like to test it I’m worried about the actual impact. But lets see, I have no influence and I can just see and observe and maybe get some benefit from such thing.
