Perplexity has launched two new models, GPT 5.6 Terra and Luna, integrated into its Perplexity Computer platform. Terra is designed for complex, goal-oriented tasks and serves as the default for subagents, outperforming 'Sonnet' on the WANDR benchmark while significantly reducing costs. Luna is optimized for speed and cost-efficiency in scheduled automations. The company notes that the primary challenge now lies in developing dynamic routing logic to manage the interaction between these two models. AI
IMPACT Introduces specialized models for complex tasks and automations, potentially setting new benchmarks for cost and performance in AI agents.
