Use Perplexity w/ DeepSeek model in Cursor IDE

[thesmart]

Is there a way to use Perplexity as the host for Cursor IDE AI autocompletions? And is there a way to target the DeepSeek chat (non reasoning) model?

why?

Why what? I pay for Perplexity. Why do I also need to pay for another model host?

Within Cursor you can use Deepseek R1 as the model already, or sonnet 3.5, or even O3-mini is free. I'm not sure why exactly you want to link a specific web search LLM into a coding agent, that's all.
