CNBC reports: “Perplexity AI, an artificial intelligence search engine startup hoping to chip away at Google’s dominance, is seeking to more than double its valuation to about $9 billion in its next funding round, CNBC has confirmed. The company, which was valued at $3 billion in June, is now looking to raise roughly $500 million, though that could change, according to a person familiar with the matter who declined to be named because the talks are confidential.”
