We're integrating Perplexity's Fast Search into the Perplexity Decisions API. This allows for batch-mode decisions to be made with factual grounding from the web. State-of-the-art and the fastest API out there. Search costs $0.001 per request, and the Decisions API costs $0.02 per 1M input tokens.

> A decision model returns a probability, but only knows what it saw in training, and your state. Add "mode": "web_grounding" and Fast Search runs one query per question, so pplx-decider-v1.2 answers from today's web.
