41 Models in the Perplexity Agent API

Perplexity's Agent API now reaches 41 frontier models from nine providers through a single endpoint, with search and code execution built in.

Details

  • One endpoint reaches 41 frontier models across nine providers
  • Built-in tools cover web search, finance search, page fetch, and sandboxed code execution
  • Dynamic presets bundle the model, search configuration, reasoning steps, system prompt, and tools into a single setting that controls how much work goes into each request
  • Presets range from 'fast' for quick search up to 'wide-research', which runs as many as 100 steps with a code sandbox

Best for

building an agent that routes different jobs to different models without wiring up each provider

When to use it

you want model choice but not nine sets of credentials and nine SDKs

Who benefits

developers building multi-model agent workflows
