Perplexity is definitely not sans hallucination and its accuracy varies highly depending on the type of query. For me it occupied a niche hybrid spot between full blown Llms and 'dumb' search engines but that niche is increasingly being squeezed out on both sides as the big Llms add web capability with more structured results while Google etc get smarter. It is hard to see what unique value proposition they offer going forward and its no surprise theyre becoming more google-like everyday, in the negative sense, as they struggle to justify their sky high valuation to all the vc money that is propping them up.
