Been using Perplexity AI quite a bit lately for random queries, like travel suggestions.

So I started wondering what random things people are using it for to help with daily tasks. Do you use it more than Google/etc?

Also if anyone is paying for Pro versions? Thinking if it’s worth it paying for Perplexity AI Pro or not.

    I’ve got a local LLM set up for code suggestions and run GitHub copilot for spots where the local isn’t good enough. I can start writing out a thought and pseudo implementation and have a mostly viable real implementation instantly which I can then modify to suit my needs. It also takes a lot of the busywork out of things that need boilerplate. The local is trained on the style of my repos so I can keep up with style standards too which is helpful. Also great for explaining legacy code and coming up with more semantic variable names in old code too.

        I was using mixtral but I’m recently testing out the new llama 3 models, decent improvement and hopefully we’ll see some good fine tuned models of it soon
