Perplexity Max

Perplexity Max is the top-of-line ($200/mo, $2,000/year) subscription of the answer-engine already taught in "Frontier chatbots" (see the `perplexity` entry) — included here because Max is where Perplexity stops being a single-model product and becomes an aggregator: it bundles sonar-pro, gpt-5.4, claude-opus-4.8, gemini-2.5-pro and grok-4, unlimited Pro Search, unlimited Labs, and full Comet access under one price. Independent reporting (not confirmed on Perplexity's own pricing page, which returned an access error when fetched directly this session) describes a "Model Council" feature that dispatches a query across several of these models and synthesizes one answer, plus autonomous, scheduled "Background Assistants" backed by a credit pool — treat those two specifically as reported-but-not-primary-confirmed until re-checked.
