WANDR primarily measures complex research tasks requiring search, multi-step reasoning, computation, deduplication, fact-checking, and structured output. Perplexity's Computer distributes research, coding, browsing, and documentation tasks among multiple sub-agents. This evaluation shows Grok 4.5 achieved the highest score among five configurations at roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8.
