Perplexity previews new GLM-5.2 based orchestrator model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Perplexity has released a research preview of a new orchestrator model for its Perplexity Computer service. This model, an adapted version of GLM-5.2, is designed to offer near-frontier performance at a significantly lower cost compared to models like Opus. The system also features an advisor tool that can escalate to a stronger model when necessary and is hosted on NVIDIA B200 GPUs in the U.S. AI

IMPACT This update enhances Perplexity's offering with a cost-effective, high-performance model, potentially improving user experience and reducing operational costs.

RANK_REASON This is a product update from an AI company, not a core model release from a frontier lab.
