Why use this model through UAI

The same model route, but with one account, one balance, and one API shape.

Multimodal prompts

The synced capabilities for this row indicate image or vision support, so you can route multimodal requests through the same UAI account and billing flow.

OpenAI-compatible access

Call perplexity/sonar with the same UAI API key, the same /v1/chat/completions shape, and the same request validation used across the rest of the catalog.

Shared pricing and billing

Pricing, balance, and request history stay consolidated in one UAI account instead of spreading usage across separate Perplexity dashboards.
