I haven't looked too deeply into perplexity yet. What do you find much better about it?

  • On any query, you get a summary answer from the latest LLMs (Claude 3, ChatGPT 4 Turbo, Mistral Large) and the list of sources. Very thorough, highly efficient, and no ads.

    • Honestly I’ve tried perplexity and it was great at first but I find the results exhausting. Imagine reading all that and realizing it’s not what you’re looking for. Also, at the end of the day you have to trust that it can find stuff better than you.

      I prefer finding my own sources and querying from there.

Meh, Perplexity is just GPT/Claude/Gemini with a mediocre web search attached to it. The latest rumours about them adding ads to their search and the fact that they are VC-funded do not prospect such a bright future for it.

  • I've paid for both Kagi and Perplexity, and I get much more value with Perplexity. But hey, if people want to stay with Kagi, that's fine. I just don't see why anyone would when there is a better alternative.
