In the debate over whether the model platforms will just be infrastructure providers or whether they'll successfully own the end user experiences as well, Perplexity and Cursor are the clearest indicators that the power rests with the model platforms. … @rkesteva · Raimundo Krishna Esteva

We're opening it initially to all Max users, and introducing usage-based pricing, which we believe is the right business model for AI instead of ads. Once we are satisfied with load tests, Pro users will be able to run jobs on Computer too.

Perplexity just launched its OpenClaw competitor, and the architecture reveals a fundamentally different bet on how agents should work. Their new product, Computer, coordinates 19 models across rival labs: Claude for orchestration, Gemini for research, GPT-5.2 for long-context,

Perplexity Computer is what a personal computer in 2026 should be. It's personal to you, remembers your past work, and is secure by default. Hundreds of connectors, persistent memory, files, and web access, all built on top of Perplexity infrastructure. [video]

Perplexity Computer is massively multi-model. Computer orchestrates models to run agents in parallel, leveraging Opus to match each task to the model best suited for it. In total, Computer can route work across 19 different models. [video]

one neat feature of Perplexity Computer is that you can prompt to pick your favorite models for subagents, for example: “search about perplexity computer on web. use 3 subagens for this: sonnet, gemini, and gpt. and compare their outputs” [video]

The computer is one of the best inventions known to mankind. And when AIs can orchestrate a file system with CLI tools + a browser (real-time internet access) + your personal connectors, AI essentially becomes the Computer, running things on the cloud as you sleep.

this has been the most exciting project to work on. a lot of foundational infra we've built over time (search engine, browsing cloud, memory engine, and more) all came together in one platform. this was also built by a small group of people and a lot of AI coding agents.

Perplexity spent three years building an AI search engine at $20/month flat. “Computer” layers a consumption-based product on top of that entire base. Max subscribers get 10,000 credits per month. Usage-based pricing. Spending caps. Choose which models run your sub-agents.
