Perplexity says its Computer tool created Alexandria, a free, source-backed encyclopedia with 66,574 entries, and will keep maintaining it at alexandria.pplx.app.

According to CEO Aravind Srinivas's post on X, Computer scanned and synthesized 348,980 sources to build the site, using 2.5 million credits, which the company puts at $25,000 in cost. The site is open to all users at no charge.

These figures are company claims and have not been independently verified. A later post from Srinivas simply links to the site and adds no new figures.
