Sonar Pro Search is a language model from Perplexity. It does not hold a position on ModelCap's current board yet; it is placed automatically once its model card or a public benchmark compares it with ranked models. It is listed at $3.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens from one provider. It reads up to 200K tokens of context, with no downloadable weights linked in the current source data.

BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

Not yet published: a pinned repository revision, the architecture and model type, a parameter count, safetensors weight metadata, the base model it derives from, a declared licence, a link to the licence terms, admitted benchmark results, results across several capability areas, results from more than one source, a confident match to its benchmark entries, pinned evaluation dataset versions.
A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

Sonar Pro Search has no public ModelCap Index position as of 7 November 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.
Sonar Pro Search is listed at $3.00 per 1M input tokens and $15.00 per 1M output tokens as of 7 November 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $13.50 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
Sonar Pro Search has a published context window of 200K tokens (200,000). The snapshot lists a 8,000 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.
No linked weights. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data. This does not identify every API or chat product that offers the model.
One provider serves Sonar Pro Search through OpenRouter as of 7 November 2026: Perplexity. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
Sonar Pro Search first appeared in the catalogue on 30 Oct 2025. It is the current version in its family. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
