Select the model to use between Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, Grok or Sonar

Let’s tell you how you can choose the artificial intelligence model What are you going to use with? Perplexity in a prompt. This is a chatbot known for allowing you to access many cutting-edge models from third-party companies, something it does automatically depending on the request you make. However, if you are going to use Perplexity, it is advisable to know one of its functions basic, being able to choose by hand which model you want to use. And yes, every time Google, Anthropic or OpenAI launch a new model of artificial intelligenceat Perplexity they are going to add it to their catalog. The results will not be exactly the same as if you use the paid versions of ChatGPT, Grok, Claude or Gemini, because Perplexity may modify them a little. However, you will be able to take advantage of the reasoning power of these models. Choose the AI ​​model to use in Perplexity To choose the AI ​​you want to use in Perplexity, you have to look at the box where you write the prompt. In it, you must click on the option AI modelwhich will appear with the icon of what appears to be a chip. It is to the far left of the series of icons that appear at the bottom right in the prompt writing field. When you click on that button, it will appear a list of all models of artificial intelligence that you can use. Both the best and the latest available from Gemini, GPT, Claude, Grok, Kimi or Perplexity’s own Sonar will appear. This is something that you can do in its web version or in its mobile or computer applications. Here, you should know that you can choose the model with each prompt within a conversation with Perplexity. Come on, you can ask a question with one model, and then ask the next question with another. Also, below the list you will see the number of queries you can make with the most modern models.

Deepseek marked a turning point in the AI race. Now another Chinese company wants to imitate its success: Kimi K2 is born

The Chinese startup Monshot AI has presented Kimi K2, an open -source artificial intelligence model that arrives with outstanding programming capabilities and autonomous tasks that, according to The published benchmarksThey spray competition in several of their models. Its launch occurs at a key moment for the sector, when Chinese companies seek to replicate the disruptive success of Deepseek with potential height models and much cheaper than market alternatives. Kimi does not come from nothing. MoNshot ai was one of the most promising startups in the Chinese ecosystem of AI and that giants like Alibaba have invested greatly. His Kimi chatbot reached third place in monthly active users in August 2024, but fell to the seventh in June After the emergence of Deepseek R1 in January. Now try to recover ground with a strategy that combines open source and aggressive prices, following the formula that catapulted Deepseek. Image: MoNshot AI What Kimi K2 offers. The model has 1 billion total parameters and 32,000 million activated parameters, using The well-known Mixture-Of-Experts architecture to optimize computational costs. It is presented in two versions: a base for researchers and developers, and another optimized for conversation and autonomous tasks. Kimi K2 thus becomes Moonshot AI’s proposal with the ability to act as an intelligent agent to use tools, write code, complete workflows or talk, among other tasks. Kimi K2 explained in numbers. In performance testsKimi K2 has achieved 65.8% precision at Swe-Bench Verified, one of the most demanding benchmarks for software engineering. In LivecodeBench it reached 53.7%, exceeding 46.9% of Deepseek-V3 and 44.7% of GPT-4.1. In mathematics, its 97.4% score in Math-500 exceeds 92.4% of GPT-4.1, suggesting significant advances in mathematical reasoning. The price factor. MoNshot is charging $ 0.15 per million input tokens and $ 2.50 per million tokens out of the developers who use their API. Compared, Claude Opus 4 It charges 100 times more for the entrance (15 dollars) and 30 times more for the output ($ 75), while GPT-4.1 charges 2 dollars per entrance and 8 per exit. In addition, the model is available for free in Web applications and Kimi mobile, without monthly subscriptions that require chatgpt or Claude for their most advanced models. Technical innovation. MoNshot has developed the MuCanclip optimizer, which allows train models of one billion parameters “With zero training instability.” This technology could drastically reduce the training costs of large models, a problem that has limited the development of AI to companies with greater resources. Double channel strategy. The company offers so much Free access to the source code as payment API at a very competitive price. This strategy allows companies to start with the API for immediate implementation and then migrate to self -healing versions either by regulatory cost or compliance. And it is that each developer who downloads Kimi K2 becomes a potential business client. Moment of inflection. Kimi K2 represents a convergence point where open source models and proprietary alternatives shake hands. MoNshot AI intends to turn Kimi into a tool for everything, while offering its open source model and is reserved to charge for the use of its API for all types of implementations. And now what. The launch reaches a critical point in which both Openai, such as Google or Anthropic, must respond to this wave of cheap and high quality language models. The issue is no longer whether open source models can match the owners, but if large technological ones can adapt their business models fast enough to compete in this new scenario. The looks are put in GPT-5 And in the next movements of the industry at a rate, as always, accelerated.
