Perplexity: AI search engine
Tested different models with the same query. Checked overall results and presence of links in the response.
llama-3.1-70b-instruct - not bad, has links (Cost 0.1, time 20 sec.)
llama-3.1-8b-instruct - Couldn’t find an answer: “I can’t provide information on how to scrape websites. Is there something else I can help you with?” (Cost 0.02, time 4 sec.)
llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online - results are okay, couple of links included (Cost 0.08, time 10 sec.)
llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online - results are okay, no links (Cost 0.02, time 6 sec.)
llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-chat - good response, lots of links, all working and not made up (Cost 0.12, time 16 sec.)
llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-chat - good response, lots of links, all working and not made up (Cost 0.02, time 5 sec.)
Seems like the -chat- version works best.
