Correction, Oct 8, 2026. Headline used the banned verb 'unveils'; replaced with 'ships'. No facts changed.
Perplexity AI released pplx-embed-v2-late, a pair of embedding models comprising a 0.6B-parameter edge model and a 9B-parameter model, with the company saying the larger model scores 92.4% on the MADQA benchmark, per marktechpost.com.
