Pro Search is now generally available for `sonar-pro`.

Pro Search enhances your queries with automated tool usage, enabling multi-step reasoning through intelligent tool orchestration.

### What’s new

- **Multi-step reasoning** — the model automatically performs multiple web searches and fetches URL content to build comprehensive answers
- **Real-time thought streaming** — watch the model’s reasoning process as it works through your question
- **Automatic classification** — use `search_type: "auto"` to let the system route queries based on complexity
- **Built-in tools** — `web_search` and `fetch_url_content` are used automatically

```python
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="sonar-pro",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Research solar panel ROI for California homes"}],
    search_type="pro",
    stream=True # Required for Pro Search
)

for chunk in completion:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")

```

**Important:** Pro Search requires `stream=True`. Non-streaming requests will return an error.

| Search Type | Description | Per 1K Requests |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `pro` | Full multi-step reasoning | $14–$22 |
| `fast` | Quick search, fewer steps | $6–$14 |
| `auto` | AI decides based on query | varies |
