Perplexity AI is currently in discussions to secure a significant funding round, aiming to raise between $500 million and $1 billion, which would elevate its valuation to an impressive $18 billion, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. This valuation marks a substantial increase from its previous worth of $9 billion reported in December 2024. The company, which specializes in AI-powered search tools, has seen rapid growth in its annual recurring revenue, now reaching approximately $100 million, according to Bloomberg.
