titleModel: "llama-3-sonar-small-32k-chat"
summarize: false
summaryModel: "llama-3-sonar-small-32k-chat"
dropParams: ["stop", "frequency_penalty"]
modelDisplayLabel: "Perplexity"Notes
- Fetching the model list is not supported, so keep
fetch: falseand maintain thedefaultlist manually. - The API is strict for some models. Fields like
stopandfrequency_penaltycan cause an error when set to 0, so drop them withdropParams.
