DeepSeek R1 launches on Perplexity for enhanced deep web research

DeepSeek R1 is now available on Perplexity to support deep web research. With a new Pro Search reasoning mode selector and OpenAI o1 capability, it offers a transparent chain of thought into the model's reasoning.

Users can benefit from increased daily usage limits for both free and paid versions as capacity is expanded throughout the day. Perplexity emphasizes that DeepSeek prioritizes privacy and data security by hosting in US/EU data centers, ensuring data does not leave Western servers and maintaining independence from China.
