I ordered a Perplexity t-shirt yesterday, couldn't help it, I really like the company and I hope they succeed and keep building interesting tools.
They are built on top of other people's foundational models, but they seem to be doing enough on top of them to be a bit more than just a wrapper (though I guess it depends how you define what that is, but to my mind, it's more just allowing you to use the vanilla model through some other thing).
They also fine-tune their own models (Sonar) based on Llama, they have their own system to shape results to add citations and make things much more grounded, the whole UI/UX is extremely good and useable, they have a good system to keep track of past searches, they are very quick at getting new models, etc, and afaik, they've been building more and more of their own infrastructure with their recent capital raise, so while at first they were mostly hosted on hyperscalers, they are increasingly a hybrid.
re: Zoom call: I may be missing something, but I don't know what you mean! I'll do another Q&A call with supporters at some point soon, but there's not one planned right now, so unless we have a call related to OSV stuff that I'm not thinking of right now, I'm a bit stumped. Tell me more!
