How did they secure funds in that case?
- basbuller 3y agoThat is probably exactly why they got funding. You can sell it as focus on adding new features and leveraging the best available tools before reinventing the wheel. They do train their own models now, but for about a year they just forwarded calls to models like gpt3.5T. You still have the option to use models not trained by perplexity.
- hackernewds 3y agowhich is why their engagement and model responses suck. the other competitors are far better C.ai and Pi comes to mind
- basbuller 3y agoWait, are you directly comparing Perplexity and C.ai or Pi? Perplexity is a search engine, Pi is a chatbot, and C.ai is roleplay? Their value propositions are very different
- KuriousCat 3y agoI still don't get it. What was the USP here? What is the allure in it for the investors?
