Perplexity uses SFT followed by RL with Qwen3.5 models, leveraging a multi-hop QA dataset and rubric checks to boost search accuracy and efficiency, achieving best-in-class FRAMES performance. Abstract: Perplexity's post-training workflow for web-search agents combines supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to enforce instruction-following and language consistency with online reinforcement learning (RL) via the GRPO algorithm. The RL stage uses a proprietary multi-hop verifiable QA dataset and rubric-based conversational data to prevent SFT drift, with reward gating and within-group efficiency penalties. Evaluation shows Qwen3.5-397B-SFT-RL achieving top FRAMES performance, 57.3% accuracy with a single tool call and 73.9% with four calls at $0.02 per query, outperforming GPT-5.4 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 on these metrics. Pricing is API-based and excludes caching.
