They said they're looking for professionals that are

that are making what they describe as a GDP moving decisions, right?

So they're like, look, we're not going for the whole world.

We're not trying to boil the ocean like OpenAI is.

We're just going for people making GDP moving decisions.

And if you see a lot of their branding, you'll notice that they do a lot of work with

highlighting news or financial analysis.

I think during a recent briefing they did, their executives really were kind of emphasizing the enterprise subscriptions and a lot of the deep research as some of their core priorities.

They kind of publicly downplay all of the monthly active users.

They say, you know, this is not something that we ever talk about.

We're not actually, this is a quote from them.

They said, quote, we're not actually on a mission to get as many users as possible.

Now, if they had an insane amount of monthly active users, I'm sure they'd be touting it, but it doesn't seem like it's maybe the strongest,

thing about the company and so it feels like that's why they might not be uh sharing it out so publicly i think they're trying to kind of reinforce their positioning right now they said that they recently introduced a new benchmark for some complex research research tasks they're calling it draco and they say that their deep research product outperforms things like gemini perplexity also said that they have built their own ai optimized search inject index which is basically reducing the reliance on third-party apis

I think kind of the core thing to perplexity strategy right now is that they believe that the future is multimodal rather than betting on a single, you know, LLM like chat GPT or Claude perplexity is basically routing your question across a bunch of different third party LLMs and they pick the best one for answering that specific task.

They actually have a cool feature that I've recently seen, which is like I think it's called like court or something where you basically ask a question to the court and it pitches the question to like all the top AI models.

They all give their response and then it has them all deliberate between each other what the best response is.

And then it gives you like based off of Grok, Gemini, ChachiBT, Anthropic, this is like the best responses.

which I think is a pretty interesting, you'd hate to ask a question that one particular model doesn't have a good data set for, right?

Like we know that Anthropic is the best for code and OpenAI might be the best for getting like real world info and Google's the best for, you know, things that need API integrations to a lot of data.
