We’re rolling out effort controls in Computer’s model selector. Effort presets combine the orchestrator model and reasoning depth to control how deeply and efficiently Computer works through a task. Available now on web. Coming to mobile and desktop soon.

Where are agentic traders coming from? Here's the breakdown of where agentic trading volume came from last week: Perplexity - 26.8% Claude - 19.3% Grok - 15.3% ChatGPT - 1.1% Claude Code - 0.7% CLI/Other - 36.8%

Jennifer Lawrence shares her first Instagram post: “If anyone says anything negative, I will quit. Immediately. If anyone thinks something mean, I’ll know. And I’ll quit.”

Websites created with Computer now have desktop and mobile previews. Use the artifact side pane to switch between views, refresh the preview, edit the site, or leave a comment.

It is wild to me how slept on @perplexity_ai is by the market. I use Perplexity Computer constantly. Here is why: 1. I can share skills easily across my team easily in the cloud. 2. It is very good at model routing and selection and I have access to all the best models from all the model providers. 3. My perplexity computer tasks sync seamlessly between my desktop and cloud. 4. It is easy to build workflows from any task in computer for important reoccurring jobs. 5. Computer tasks process in the cloud so I don’t have to constantly have my desktop on and running. Now they have solved a critical security concern for many AI users. It isn’t perfect. I find that the design output for artifacts to be lower quality than using the same models in their own harnesses. Additionally it has bugs where tasks get hung up or take longer than they should to run.

You can now turn a trading idea into a durable agent running 24/7 > One click connect your account > Pick the model you want to use > Describe the rules & strategy > keep the agent scoped to a portfolio That's it. You're now an early adopter of AiFi

Today we’re launching Portable Computer on @NVIDIA DGX Spark. Portable Computer is a fully local version of Perplexity Computer, where the entire runtime: orchestrator LLM, subagent LLM, agent harness all run on your local hardware. No cloud dependency.

Introducing Web Search Benchmarks 🌐 Rankings of search tools across different models and configurations to help you decide how to ground your agent: openrouter.ai/benchmarks

Today we're launching Projects, an evolution of Spaces. Projects are hubs for ongoing work in Computer. A single place to manage, create, and collaborate on tasks with a shared file system and persistent memory.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-W…

Today we're announcing that hybrid agentic inference is coming to Perplexity Computer. Computer can split tasks between a local model running on your machine and frontier models in the cloud. This keeps private data on your device and maximizes token efficiency. Coming soon.

Computer is secure by default. Every task runs in its own hardware-isolated sandbox with VPC-level storage and compute separation. Agents are authenticated with short-lived proxy tokens instead of raw API keys.
