Perplexity has updated its generation stack, making Nano Banana Pro and Sora 2 Pro the default models in both Perplexity and Comet. The change is available to Perplexity Max subscribers, according to a recent LinkedIn post from the company.
Key details:
- Nano Banana Pro and Sora 2 Pro are now the default generation models
- The update applies across both Perplexity and Comet
- Access is currently limited to Perplexity Max subscribers
- Perplexity announced the change on November 22, 2025
This suggests Perplexity is standardising its higher-tier generation experience across its products, likely affecting how Max users create and interact with generated outputs by default.
For small business owners and builders, this matters because default model changes can directly affect output quality, speed, and workflow consistency. If you rely on Perplexity or Comet for content, research, or creative generation, it is worth checking how these new defaults perform in your existing processes.
