Perplexity has launched "Portable Computer," a fully local version of its AI agent "Perplexity Computer." This new offering runs entirely on local hardware, including the orchestrator and sub-agent LLMs, eliminating cloud dependencies. Initially available on NVIDIA DGX Spark and Linux machines with RTX GPUs, it supports models like PPLX 27B and Qwen 3.8 27B, with NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning support coming soon. The service will be offered to subscribers of Perplexity Pro, Perplexity Max, and enterprise plans, with Windows support planned for September 2026. AI
