PERPLEXITY IS LAUNCHING A NEW REVENUE-SHARE MODEL FOR PUBLISHERS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Perplexity will start paying publishers for news articles from a $42.5 million revenue pool. The money will be distributed when Perplexity's AI assistant or search engine uses a news article to fulfill a task or answer a search request. The payments come out of the subscription revenue generated by Perplexity's new news service, Comet Plus, which will roll out widely in the fall. Publishers will get 80% of Comet Plus revenue.
