Provider options
Select the model in the Perplexity AI Model provider. This is separate from the general Web Search provider setting. Inspect returned sources when relying on an answer about current information. The provider definition includes: Model Name, Temperature. Some controls appear only for models or authentication methods that support them.Use it in a conversation
Select the model from the conversation’s model menu. Review reasoning and tool support for the selected model before running an Agent task. A text-only request is a useful connection check before adding images, documents, or tools. Provider profiles share credentials across their supported categories. See Credentials and Provider Profiles before renaming, deleting, or changing a shared key.Troubleshooting
See the provider capability catalog for other categories and Model Selection for choosing a model by task.
