Availability: Perplexity ended support for Sonar Chat Completions on 2026-09-27 and moved it to its Agent API. Its pricing page no longer lists a Sonar Reasoning Pro rate (read 2026-10-05); requests that still use the old model name are being rerouted to the Agent API, which bills differently. OpenRouter still lists Sonar Reasoning Pro at $2/$8 per 1M tokens, but that is a reseller listing — the price above is what the model last cost from Perplexity, not a rate Perplexity sells today.
