“Some of it was stock in Perplexity. Yeah, but there was a huge cash component. Yeah. And unclear if the other companies mentioned Gemini OpenAI or Anthropic would have been able to match that, how aggressive Perplexity was getting. And so it's possible Snap's logic was, hey, we can do this deal with Perplexity, and then it's native in our app. It's easy enough to swap it out at a later date.”

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
