Agree. Some SEOs might think it impacts organic search rankings (not sure why?) but none that I know. For me, llms.txt is more about creating a token-light means for agents to find and retrieve token-optimized .md files rather than download all the CSS, JS, images, etc that accompanies HTML.

Oh I get why Agents/Assistants would prefer llms/md due to reducing token weight of content, but the Perplexity site published their own. To Alan's point, maybe some eager developer just launched it.

We're using splunk to track specific agent/assistant user agents hitting llms.txt and .md.

Funny you mention that. Last night I was just looking at a picture of the hotel I think we had drinks at and was thinking back to that day. That was a few days before I left SAP and moved back to California.

Just heard the news. Music lost a legend. RIP.

Hey #SEO community.

If you are tracking #AI Assitant referrers to your site, what is your percentage breakdown by country, locale, or language.

We're seeing an overwhelming number of hits to our /en-us/ content and wonder if that's what everyone else is seeing.

OK, but then how do you explain:
docs.perplexity.ai/llms.txt

So why is Perplexity using llms.txt? 🙃

Why not just check weblogs for AI user agents pinging the llms.txt or .md versions of the site?

Of course they're ignoring it. They're no longer journalists.

Cartel family members entered U.S. in deal with Trump admin, Mexican security chief confirms Video showed the family members walking across the border from Tijuana with their suitcases to waiting U.S. agents.

He's worried about the 'dangerous cartels'? That's ridiculous. The tool is forgetting THEY let the cartel in:

I've done similarly, but I do miss my portrait-oriented monitor. I might need to add that back in.
