AI Provider for Perplexity
==========================

[](#ai-provider-for-perplexity)

AI Provider for Perplexity for the [WordPress AI Client](https://github.com/WordPress/php-ai-client). Works as both a Composer package and a WordPress plugin.

This provider registers **Perplexity** with the AI Client, exposing Perplexity's Sonar models (Sonar, Sonar Pro, Sonar Reasoning, Sonar Reasoning Pro, and Sonar Deep Research) for web-grounded text generation through Perplexity's OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4+
- WordPress 6.9+ (when used as a plugin)
- The [`wordpress/php-ai-client`](https://github.com/WordPress/php-ai-client) SDK
- A Perplexity API key from the [Perplexity API settings](https://www.perplexity.ai/account/api/keys)

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Perplexity exposes an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, so this provider is intentionally thin:

ClassResponsibility`Provider\PerplexityProvider`Registers the provider, base URL (`https://api.perplexity.ai`), API-key auth, and metadata.`Metadata\PerplexityModelMetadataDirectory`Defines the supported Sonar models and maps capabilities/options.`Provider\PerplexityProviderAvailability`Verifies the API key with a minimal text generation request.`Models\PerplexityTextGenerationModel`Sends `POST /chat/completions` via the shared OpenAI-compatible base class.Because Perplexity speaks the Chat Completions format, `PerplexityTextGenerationModel` extends `AbstractOpenAiCompatibleTextGenerationModel` from the SDK and only overrides request construction.

Unlike most providers, Perplexity does not expose a model listing endpoint for its Sonar chat models, so the supported models are defined statically and availability is checked with a minimal text generation request rather than a list-models request.

Supported capabilities
----------------------

[](#supported-capabilities)

- Web-grounded text generation (chat) with the Sonar model family
- Chat history / multi-turn conversations
- JSON / structured output
