I’m looking for more cost-effective alternatives to Perplexity.ai that offer GPT-4 integration along with search capabilities for factual assistance, ideally around $5/month instead of the $20/month subscription fee for Perplexity.ai. I’ve come across Nuggt (https://github.com/Nuggt-dev/Nuggt), but it seems to rely solely on a local model without search functionality. I’ve also found Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses GPT-4 to answer technical questions with code examples and detailed explanations. While it may not be as good as Perplexity.ai, it offers more free uses. Are there any other options that combine GPT-4 and search features at a lower price point?

    I don’t think local models have enough context yet. I don’t know how perplexity manages to use so many websites as references. As soon as there is a model like WizardCoder that has a 10k context or higher, I’ll give this a try.

      I didn’t mean local models, but using some kind of fulltext search engine to preselect data to feed GPT-4.
