How to add Perplexity API Key as an option in the "Settings"

How can I add Perplexity API as a model provider? Adding "API_KEY_PERPLEXITY=" to the .env file does not add it as an option in the "Settings"

Is there a reason it is not there already?

Since it ist not implemented in the models.py it won't be shown in the settings.

Do adding it as a model provider in models.py automatically adds it on the UI?

I added Brave Search (which I think offers better results for AI and has a good free tier) and would be nice to have it there.

For the Perplexity thing, other than adding the keys to .env there is the need to edit python/tools/knowledge_tool.py so it can be actually used.
