Sonar Deep Research is a reasoning model associated with Perplexity. Perplexity is the creator route for Sonar Deep Research. Compare that official price with router and host pages before you lock a gateway into production, because the same model name can be billed differently once another company serves it. The recorded context window is 128,000 tokens, with max output around 32,768 tokens. Sonar Deep Research is marked for explicit reasoning, web access. Speed tier: slow. Stored use cases: General.
Sonar Deep Research is listed at $2.00 per million input tokens and $8.00 per million output tokens (USD). That quote is the recorded API rate for this page's provider route, not a subscription seat and not a blended monthly bill. A short prompt and a long agent trace will not cost the same amount even when the sticker price stays put.
No separate access-point rows are stored beyond the Perplexity route in the slug. Search the model directory or the API price board before you assume a second host.
How to use this Sonar Deep Research page: read the price as a per-million-token quote, then open the API price directory if you need other providers for the same family. Open a related model page when you are choosing between sizes or between the creator API and a router. Open the product page when the practical question is a consumer subscription (seat, credits, or included models) rather than metered API spend.
