Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas argues that the model itself is no longer the product; the real product is the orchestration system. He notes that tools like Codex, Perplexity Computer, and Claude Code are essentially systems that pair a model with an 'agent harness.' This harness defines the rules for how the agent loops and operates, signaling a shift in the focus of AI application layers.
