Sonar Reasoning Pro

Perplexity's reasoning-focused variant within the Sonar line, equipped with extended chain-of-thought capabilities and a 128k token context window.

Strengths

Handles multi-step reasoning and complex problem decomposition through structured reasoning chains.

Best for

Tasks requiring explicit reasoning steps, logical analysis, and detailed working through of problems where the reasoning process itself matters.

Limitations

Slower inference than standard Sonar due to reasoning overhead; Sonar Pro offers a larger 200k context window if you need broader document handling without requiring reasoning transparency.
