nvidia · x · 2026-09-14
Perplexity's local agent platform, Portable Computer, is now available on Windows for GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with 24GB+ VRAM, extending earlier support for DGX Spark and Linux RTX machines.
- Plans and executes multistep tasks locally: analyzing data, combining information across files, handling recurring work
- Sensitive data stays on device; local work doesn't consume Perplexity Computer credits
- Includes a built-in browser and SPACE sandbox; can escalate to cloud models with user permission for harder reasoning
- Ships with a local model (e.g., Qwen 3.8 27B) post-trained for Perplexity Computer and optimized for RTX GPUs
