Trying to understand perplexity at a high level

I have been subscribed at roughly $20/month for almost 2 years now. I notice I can choose most AI models out there, find myself mostly choosing chat gpt or Claude, but dabble with the others.

So what exactly is perplexity?

I think when I first dipped my toes into AI, perplexity (to me) was just another LLM. I could be wrong, but that is what is on my mind.

Has perplexity always allowed various LLM selection? Or was it a proprietary LLM initially that evolved to allowing utilization of other engines?

Do other AI LLM's allow a user to try engines that are not their own proprietary LLM?

What exactly is perplexity?

Termites

I know they are here, I have seen them in my backyard. I noticed as fences are rebuilt, cement is used for the first 2 inches on the bottom for obvious reasons. We live on the west side of Midland and the termites crawl across the ground.

I decided to spend the coin to get our house and property treated just to be safe.

Anyone have any idea how common actual termite infestations are here? By infestation, I mean they actually get into a homes structures and start devouring it and have to be treated

I am wondering if the extended warranty on the termite treatment is a reasonable option or is that overkill after having our home pretreated for safety...thoughts?

Handyman for some work around the house

looking for a handyman to put up ceiling fan, take out an old fence post (and haul it off), and maybe a few other small things.

My wife and I are getting older and would rather pay someone to do work for us than to pay a physician after trying to do the work ourselves.

Let me know of any recommendations, thanks!

Mac app no longer functional

I upgraded to latest version. No longer works. Sits there with the command icon showing on my screen.

Evidently they are trying to take over the system. They call it integration, I call it invasion.

I just want to old Mac app back.

Deleted it all.

And I pay a yearly subscription for that crap.

Now I am stuck using the browser.

Why did perplexity break their Mac app?
