Perplexity
The Perplexity API interface is very similar to the OpenAI interface. There are some subtle differences in the parameter list.
Parameters
The exact parameter name must be used, followed by the equals sign ( = ), then the value:
max_tokens = 1024
Whitespace such as tabs and spaces are ignored.
frequency_penalty = 0.5
temperature = 1.0
Comments have a hash ( # ) at the beginning of the line and are ignored:
#not_used = null
Definitions
The official Perplexity documentation has details about the parameters themselves.

modelandmessages) are handled by the Synthonnel software.
