Perplexity releases a low-cost model for probability-based decisions

Perplexity has released a low-cost multimodal model that returns calibrated probabilities over fixed choices instead of open text. The model is designed for routing and triage tasks in settings such as customer support, healthcare, insurance, operations and other fields where a decision among defined options is needed.

Organizations using the model should validate calibration by segment, define abstention thresholds and keep humans accountable for high-impact decisions. The release does not specify additional performance benchmarks, pricing details or availability dates.
