I’m honestly surprised by this.

For something labeled “Deep Research,” 15 sources feels extremely shallow. That might be fine for a normal answer or a quick overview, but when a feature is explicitly marketed as deeper research, I expected a much broader source base, more cross-checking, and stronger evidence filtering.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding how Perplexity counts sources, or maybe it only shows a subset of the sources it actually considered. But from the UI, it looks like the entire “deep” process was based on just 15 sources, which feels disappointing.

I like Perplexity, but this makes the “Deep Research” label feel a bit overstated.
