Perplexity introduced Portable Computer, which runs its agentic Computer platform locally on Nvidia DGX Spark and compatible Linux systems.
The Details: • Local-first routing: Tasks begin on-device, and the system asks permission before sending individual steps to a frontier cloud model. • Bundled stack: Portable Computer includes a local model, inference engine, agent tools, app connectors, and an isolated sandbox. • Integrations: The platform can access local files and supports Google Drive, Gmail, Slack, GitHub, PDFs, shell commands, and web search. • Hardware requirement: Launch support requires Linux and Nvidia hardware with at least 24GB VRAM; Windows support is planned for September.
