Model Council in Perplexity - Consult a council of multiple frontier models at once
Model Council runs your query across three top models (like GPT-5.2 & Claude Opus) simultaneously. A synthesizer merges the results, highlighting consensus and conflicts for a higher-confidence answer.

Hi everyone!
I think we are past the phase of simply asking "which model is the best?". Once models cross a certain capability threshold, comparing them to pick a winner loses meaning.
Instead, we might wanna treat them as distinct individuals with different tastes and perspectives.
That is why Model Council is so interesting. It aggregates these different perspectives. Perplexity does an excellent job of context integration here: presenting the synthesis in a way that is insightful rather than just messy. The result is a "wow" moment.
It definitely burns a ton of tokens😅so, totally understand why this is in the Max plan.

Like the idea. Will test later today
Really like the idea, it sounds like game changer for research purposes/needs.
Will definitely give it a go ASAP.
Congrats on the launch!
Zac Zuo nailed it: we're past "which model is best." The real frontier is how you construct the council.
At wisepanel.ai we've been exploring this from a different angle. Our patent-pending dialectical roles assign structured opposition: one model argues for, another argues against, a third synthesizes. The tension itself produces insight that flat consensus panels miss.
Model Council's synthesis approach is a strong foundation. We think making the disagreement intentional and productive is the next step.
