Decision snapshot
Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.
Strongest published evidence
Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.
Validate before choosing
6 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. Independent runtime speed has not been measured.

Benchmark ledger
Every result says who ran the test. External signals opens by default. The tick marks the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference.

Every bar is benchmark-run or independent.
Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B is a open weight model with a 262K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.
Hosted through the Perplexity Decisions API and published as Apache 2.0 weights on Hugging Face. Text and image input (locate questions read text only); it returns probabilities for typed questions and text spans for locate questions.
Perplexity released this Qwen3.5-4B model under Apache 2.0 on November 12, 2026, distilled from Decider v1.3 as its lower-cost sibling. It supports the same typed questions and the new locate questions. The released config specifies 262,144 positions. In the Perplexity API the alias pplx-decider-flash-latest now selects this model. Independent results come from the Decision Index board and stay display-only. Perplexity-run launch-post figures are not copied into board fields.
6 of 906 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Last updated November 12, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.
Estimate VRAM from known parametersQuestions
How does Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B has 6 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B open source?
Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B is an open-weight model from Perplexity. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Does Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B currently has 6 source-displayable rows. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B?
Perplexity Decider Flash v1.3 4B has a documented context window of 262K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
