Seeking alternatives for llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online after February 22, 2025

[peripheral6]

Hello everyone,

I've recently learned that the llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online model will be discontinued on February 22, 2025(https://docs.perplexity.ai/guides/model-cards). As a frequent user of this model, I'm looking for advice on potential upgrades or alternatives that offer similar online capabilities.

Here's what I'm specifically interested in:
Are there any upgraded versions of the llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online model that will continue to be available after the discontinuation date?
Can anyone recommend alternative online models?

I've searched for information about Llama 3.2 models with online functionality but haven't found any concrete evidence of their existence.

Thank you in advance for your help!
