Perplexity has added Opus 4.6 to its platform for Max subscribers. The model is available through Model Council, Perplexity’s comparison interface that lets users test prompts across multiple frontier models in one place.
Key details:
- Opus 4.6 is now available to users on Perplexity’s Max plan.
- Access is provided through Model Council rather than as a standalone default model.
- Model Council is designed to help users compare responses from different advanced AI models side by side.
- The announcement was shared by Perplexity on February 6, 2026.
For small business owners and builders, this expands the range of high-end models available within a single workflow. It may make it easier to evaluate which model performs best for research, drafting, analysis, or product-building tasks without switching between separate tools.
