Perplexity has once again shaken up the paradigm of function calling, directly generating code calls, reducing both latency and cost, and the agent infrastructure is about to change again.

According to Dongcha Beating Monitoring, Perplexity announced the full rollout of a new search architecture, Search as Code (SaC), across the Perplexity Agent API and their self-developed Computer products. The new architecture abandons the traditional serial loop pattern in which intelligent agents rely on multi-turn reasoning for function calling or MCP tool invocation, instead allowing the agent to directly generate
