Research Workflows After Auto-Perplexity on Magicdoor
Learn how to research with current search-enabled chat models now that old auto-Perplexity claims and Perplexity picker models are retired.
Last updated: October 7, 2026.
DeepSeek checkpoint update — October 21, 2026: Current DeepSeek labels, links and any DeepSeek prices on this page now refer to V4.1 Flash 1017, using the October 21 launch source packet. Earlier fact-check and source-access dates below apply to the original comparison or study, not this checkpoint. Other vendor claims and historical measurements were not reverified in this update.
What changed
This route originally described an auto-Perplexity search workflow. That description is historical, not the current Magicdoor routing contract. Current Experimental Auto makes a fresh per-message model choice among DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, GPT-6 Luna, GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5, with capability and fallback rules; it does not promise an automatic Perplexity research pass. See the current Auto guide.
The older Perplexity Reasoning and Deep Research (pplx) chat picker options are retired. Do not treat them as selectable today.
Research with current models
- Select a search-enabled chat model such as Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol when a question requires current sources. Ask for original URLs and publication dates.
- Open those sources. Separate what they say from the model's inferences and check whether the answer is still current.
- For analysis, compare a second current model on the same verified evidence. PDFs and tools vary by model and file type; check the picker before uploading.
- Review the actual usage price and revise your conclusion if sources conflict.

FAQ
Does Magicdoor Auto always route web questions through Perplexity?
No. Current Experimental Auto chooses among DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, GPT-6 Luna, GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 per message. Do not assume it performs a Perplexity search.
How can I research current facts on Magicdoor?
Select a current search-enabled chat model such as Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol. Request source URLs, then verify claims against the original pages.
