'Perplexity Computer' uses Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 as its core inference engine and utilizes sub-agents of the most suitable model for each task, making it an AI agent that does everything an AI can do on behalf of the user.

The newly released 'Portable Computer' is a fully localized version of 'Perplexity Computer.' It runs on a Linux machine equipped with NVIDIA's AI workstation '

DGX Spark ' and an NVIDIA RTX series GPU.

All the harnesses, models, orchestrators, tools, and sandboxes needed to run the AI agent operate locally and do not depend on the cloud.

The PPLX 27B and Qwen 3.8 27B models are currently available, and support for NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is expected soon.

It will initially be available to subscribers of the 'Perplexity Pro' and 'Perplexity Max' subscription plans, as well as the enterprise-向け 'Enterprise Pro' and 'Enterprise Max' plans. Windows support is planned for September 2026.
