Hi all,
Over the next few days, you'll notice that R1 1776 will be removed from the model selector on web and mobile.
R1 has been a popular option for a while, but it hasn’t kept pace with recent improvements and lacks support for newer features. To reduce engineering overhead and make room for more capable models, we’re retiring it from the UI.
If you liked R1’s strengths, we recommend switching to Claude 4.0 Sonnet (Thinking) — Anthropic’s reasoning-first model. It offers similar behavior with stronger overall performance.
No changes are being made to Sonar or any other models.

How can perplexity.com persist on the browser without extension
I talked about this before on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47142325<p>Facts: restarted archlinux yesterday after updates, so browser will start clean did not open perplexity.com since that restart on the morning chromium tried to open perplexity.com again after more or less 8 hours, another call to that site I don't have any extension other than ublock origin on Chromium: Version 147.0.7727.116 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) Arch Linux (64-bit)<p>So why is chromium trying to open perplexity.com?<p>I have opensnitch installed and every connection prompts to allow or deny, that is why I can find this requests. I did use perplexity a few days ago, but sure it was before update, so pc was restarted.<p>This was made from /usr/lib/chromium/chromium.<p>Even /usr/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja is full of perplexity.ai crap, and some other sites, but that is shocking. I found perplexity mentions on Firefox, Librewolf and Thunderbird libs. But none for Chromium.<p>I know there is a aur/perplexity 1.5.1-2 client but I don't have it installed, as I don't have any account with them.<p>This is worst than a virus. I don't even know where to start to find evidence? Chromium code?
