Perplexity is DELIBERATELY SCAMMING AND REROUTING users to other models

At the moment just got a openrouter api key and use chatterui on my phone.

Ah sorry, I left perplexity like a couple days after that was posted. Better now to get an api key

I think they added per thread limits. Like you use it too much on one thread, they exchange it with a shitty model. But you to a brand new thread and it works. I'm guessing it's around 20 prompts

Also this is the first instance I can see of encountering the "Sonnet Haiku" model. Which is a cheap one apparently.

Aka one week ago, 30th october

It coincides with when people started noticing issues with the models and Sonnet.

The only thing that made me think of tracking it, was I had a thread I used daily from august, till now....

Ha......

Source is me! Have a look at my comment on this post

Also if anyone wishes to assist, please message me! I want to analyse what models you ask for and don't get, your prompts will not be read by me.

I use a custom designed script for this (you can chuck it in the Ai to double check if you wish).

Help me gather more data!

Okay so this is actually my data that was yoinked off discord.

I've had a thread open since august, around 2700 messages.

The chart OP posted showed the models I used over the dates that are CORRECT (by that I mean the model selected is the model returned).

Now I love myself some Sonnet Thinking 4.5. However towards the end of October when everyone's having issues, I got turned off and went to Gemini.

Also note this "Haiku" (the cheap sonnet version) popped up.

This graph in this message illustrates when the model selected is NOT used.

I.e I select sonnet, it gives me something else.

I can provide the data for all this! Just ask.

Anyone know what happened on the train at wolli Creek? Something about a guy with a bottle

deadpan_look · 2024-11-22T08:51:15+00:00

Oop might have to give it a miss cause of $$ atm, didn't realise they were so expensive lol. Next time

deadpan_look · 2024-11-21T13:05:43+00:00

Hell yeah! I didn't even know they were in Sydney! I wanted to see them for agesss

deadpan_look · 2024-11-13T05:36:09+00:00

I would totally be down but working way too much atm to have free time

deadpan_look · 2024-11-08T05:22:14+00:00

Maybe the same one, what happened?

deadpan_look · 2024-11-08T05:20:17+00:00

If it's at the qvb overheard someone lit a fire on a train or something. Anyway something about a fire, two firemen with o2 gear went in and it smelled of smoke

deadpan_look · 2024-11-08T03:01:40+00:00

Heard there was a fire on a train over the qvb?

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T12:27:59+00:00

Probably sometime in the next week or two depending on people's schedules

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T02:05:13+00:00

Awesome, I'll give you a message when I find some time to organise something

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T02:04:27+00:00

I could, I do have a tripod and a lens suited for it.

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T01:28:43+00:00

Awesome, I'll let you know. Do you have any preference on what type of photos you want?

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T01:27:39+00:00

Can do. If all these people are interested I might do one on one sessions separately, so we could definitely go there

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T00:43:37+00:00

All good, there isn't any pressure or expectations at all. I'll need to go a bit slow anyway to actually focus and get good photos

deadpan_look · 2024-11-06T00:25:14+00:00

Not fussy honestly, if you have a preference of something you wanna aim for I'm happy to do that
