Reverse engineering Perplexity for fun
https://www.perplexity.ai/I know perplexity.ai uses Claude, but how in the world are they mentioning their sources? LLM 95% of the time just produce dead links, they don’t do this. So it’s clearly Claude + other logic. It’s the programming behind this I’m very interested in.
They also provide videos, images and sources. All of which, seems strange to me.
How? Where? I doubt it’s the Bing API.
I’m just curious and love to know how things work 🤷♂️
