I don't really get Perplexity - it is amazingly slick, but I get almost line-by-line identical output from Bing Chat, so I have to wonder how much differentiation they really afford (I haven't set up an account, just comparing free access). This, though, has mostly gotten what I asked it right (including some arcane C++ stuff), so I will be giving it a try at home.

I use perplexity because it's the best free GPT that is anonymous (no login required)

  My https://chatcraft.org https://chatcraft.org offers free models and is open source. They start throttling under heavier usage tho. Gonna add some free models with search in future

  I unironically like meta.ai better. It uses both Google and Bing for web searches, and is better at citing its sources.

  I've been using https://yaddle.ai https://yaddle.ai. It's got a nicer UI, free to use, and has a lot of models to try.

Both Bing Copilot and Perplexity Copilot uses GTP-4 under the hood. For more LLMs, check out https://labs.perplexity.ai https://labs.perplexity.ai

does the bing API have citations? both you.com and pplx have that feature which chatGPT doesn't, tho its still in closed beta release for pplx

I just signed up for the PPLX API and it surprisingly doesn't do internet searches... It just has slightly more recent info than GPT-4. Try searching for "Weather in [your city]" and compare it to Google or any weather app. It's consistently wrong.

I pay for perplexity pro - absolutely love it. I had an issue with shopify and was able to work through the fix using perplexity which I wasn't able to get with chatgpt on its own. I love that you can change the models, I mostly use Claude opus though. I do wish the image generator was better but they frame perplexity as a search engine rather than chat so I have firefly if I really need an image.
