Perplexity says its Deep Research “excels at a range of expert-level tasks — from finance and marketing to product research” and takes about 2-4 minutes to come up with an answer, during which it “performs dozens of searches, reads hundreds of sources, and reasons through the material.” Once finished, its reports can be shared or exported as a PDF. The company claims that it outperforms its competitors, including OpenAI’s DeepSeek-R1 and o3 mini and o1, on the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark. It scored a 21.1 accuracy score. According to a company tweet, free users will only be able to perform five queries a day, while Pro subscribers get 500.
