finally i managed to catch up the BrowseComp-Plus train with PPLX 0.6B (single/multi-vec) models:
Perplexity's Bo Wang says PPLX 0.6B late-interaction embedding model achieves 53% accuracy on BrowseComp-Plus benchmark
A GPT-5 and pplx-late pipeline reached 85.78% accuracy.

honestly loving this era of @perplexity_ai training and open-weight'ing colbert models
one nice side effect: you can compare pplx-late vs. pplx-emb to see the gains you get by just adding multi-vector interactions to a great model recipe

Late interaction makes it look like it is easy 💁🏻♂️ It is a very cool results because it confirms the trend one more time, but also because the PPLX multi-vector model is multilingual!
Multilingual deep research is now available for everyone!

@lateinteraction @perplexity_ai That multi-vector boost's been known since 2017 tho
