Introducing Perplexity Research Fellowship: a program for early-career researchers, engineers, and analysts from any technical or quantitative discipline to work on AI research.
Computer is the best multi model harness for long horizon agentic workloads. It now has a few presets for different effort (cost and intelligence levels) that we’ve seen to work best for our users, with toggles to customize even further for power users.
We’re rolling out effort controls in Computer’s model selector.
Effort presets combine the orchestrator model and reasoning depth to control how deeply and efficiently Computer works through a task.
Available now on web. Coming to mobile and desktop soon.

Coding agents require parallel searches across docs, filtered results from official docs, and the ability to extract detailed snippets. pplx-search-sdk supports all of these, and we have a new cookbook live.
A new Perplexity Search SDK cookbook is live.
The recipe fans out focused searches, filters results to official docs, extracts relevant passages, and writes a source-linked brief for your coding agent.
Get started:
We built a replacement for AWS DynamoDB, a key-value database for fast web content fetches. This was done with two engineers and hundreds of persistent Computer agents over two months. Migrating to our in-house database will save us up to a hundred million dollars yearly.
We’re publishing research on how we built CobbleDB, our key-value database that serves web content for Perplexity search.
Two engineers and a team of hundreds of proactive, always-on AI agents built the core infrastructure in two months.
Perplexity Computer will now come pre-installed on HP ZBook Ultra G3a. .
Use Computer to run complex multi-step work from a simple interface. Computer agents are grounded in accurate deep research and connected to hundreds of tools, now including Autodesk.
Great to see Perplexity bring Portable Computer to Windows.
As more AI experiences move closer to the device, we're excited to see developers build new experiences that take advantage of local AI compute.
Powerful AI agents are becoming easier to run right on your PC. ⚡
Together with @Perplexity_AI, we’re making local AI more private, accessible and useful on @Windows NVIDIA RTX PCs.
👇
We’re expanding our work with @nvidia to bring fully local AI to Microsoft Windows PCs with RTX GPUs. Unmetered local intelligence on every Windows PC running on NVIDIA hardware and Perplexity harness. Enjoy!
Portable Computer is now available on Windows PCs with @NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
Run the harness, agents, and models locally on your PC.
Work with local files and connected apps without sending tasks to the cloud. Use frontier cloud models when needed.
Quite an important take. Economists and their theories are outdated to measure the benefits of AI. AI is already saving people a lot of time and money that doesn’t get measured.
I just fixed my dishwasher with the help of ChatGPT. A trivial task. I had been about to order a new one. So this software has increased the country's real wealth yet decreased the measured GDP. The main economic indicator is structurally incapable of registering the thing that actually makes people better off, namely the growth of knowledge
Where are agentic traders coming from?
Here's the breakdown of where agentic trading volume came from last week:
Perplexity - 26.8%
Claude - 19.3%
Grok - 15.3%
ChatGPT - 1.1%
Claude Code - 0.7%
CLI/Other - 36.8%
The Perplexity API MCP server now supports OAuth.
Add to your client, sign in with your Perplexity account, choose your org, and approve.
Your agent gets real-time web search, deep research, and advanced reasoning.
Get started:
We're introducing Q2D-Web (Query2Doc-Web), a benchmark and public leaderboard for evaluating retrieval in agentic RAG systems.
Q2D-Web tests how embedding models perform on large-scale web search using agent-reformulated search queries.

Web app development usage (particularly those that require pulling information from several different places) is expanding quickly on Perplexity Computer. We're now supporting mobile and desktop previews for the websites created in the thread.
Websites created with Computer now have desktop and mobile previews.
Use the artifact side pane to switch between views, refresh the preview, edit the site, or leave a comment.
Perplexity Search API is now available in Hermes Agent.
Search API gives Hermes access to an index of more than 400 billion URLs. It returns real-time results and ranks snippets by relevance.
