AI Summary

Perplexity announced the launch of Portable Computer, a version of its “Computer” platform that runs entirely on users’ own hardware, initially supporting Nvidia’s DGX Spark desktop supercomputer and Linux machines with Nvidia RTX GPUs. Developed with Nvidia, the system keeps the model, user files, and work on the local device, eliminating token‑based billing for locally executed tasks and only sending steps to a cloud model with user permission. Nate, Perplexity’s vice‑president of engineering for infrastructure and enterprise, said the product replicates the existing UI in a fully local application. The launch aims to shift serious AI agent workloads from the cloud to local devices.
