Perplexity announced that its Computer agentic system will gain hybrid inference in July 2026, automatically splitting tasks between local models for sensitive data and cloud-based frontier models for complex operations. The feature aims to balance privacy with computational power without requiring manual model selection.

Perplexity AI has released a native macOS application for its Personal Computer AI agent feature. The app is now available to all Pro and Max subscribers and replaces the company's previous Mac software.

Perplexity has released Comet, its AI-powered browser, as a free standalone app for iPhone users. Originally launched on PC at $200 per month, the iOS version joins recently-released Android and existing Windows and Mac versions. The browser combines web browsing with AI assistance for summarization, research, and task automation.

Perplexity made Computer for Enterprise generally available to enterprise customers on March 12, claiming an internal study of 16,000+ queries showed $1.6 million in labor cost savings and 3.2 years of equivalent work completed in four weeks.
