Inconsistent and inaccurate JSON output

[gregsense]

Hi,

When asking to produce a JSON response using Sonar, we get inconsistent and inaccurate formatting, for example:
{
"Title": "Policy Reform",
"Description": "Simplify environmental permitting for wildfire mitigation projects."
"Field": "Response",
"Value": 7
}

There should be a comma at the end of the "Description" line, but there isn't.

Sonar Pro seems to work better, but costs 5x more.

Thanks

Hi @gregsense ! This is interesting... Could you please file an official bug so that our engineering team can take a look at this? You can do so here. Btw, thanks for being a valued Perplexity user!

Also @gregsense does this mean that you tried to coerce the output into a JSON using the response_format parameter? Or did you simply try and coerce the output via prompting?

It seems to have got a lot better since we discovered the ability to supply a JSON schema (from what I recall this wasn’t available till recently) but still requires guidance via the prompt.
