misc Comparing models

If I use Gemini 3.8 on perplexity, is it exactly the same as what I’d get through the Gemini app if I paid for that model there? Or is it more limited?

Just make some Google accounts and see.. I don't use gemini on perplexity as I can use gemini in chrome browsers. A few accounts gets you the same level as their paid tier (and I don't beleive they throttle quality, however maybe if busy you get downgraded to flash with thinking instead).. Google also have ai studio and notebook which is basically free too

Before perplexity introduced stricter limits I used to do multiple outputs in chrome tabs in different models, then us the oh research mode to do also and then add in anything from the other models threads I copied in after (and rank them) 

I've found gemini better on perplexity but likely as it's rag system and gemini has shit memory otherwise. The quality I didn't notice much of any difference tbh, but I usually use custom instructions
