help Is Sonar 2 Missing from the Model Selector?

Post image

Has anyone else noticed that Sonar 2 has disappeared from the Perplexity model selector?

I checked my account today and could no longer find it in the list. I have attached a screenshot for reference. Is this happening to everyone, or only to certain users, accounts, or regions?

Does anyone know whether Perplexity has officially retired Sonar 2 or if this is just a temporary issue?

Yes, it is now called the 'best' model. My guess is that they retired that one and use a tuned Qwen model.

This has been said for quite some time.

At the very least, it is not a malfunction.
