Perplexity Computer orchestrates 3 frontier models, 210k credits, to build app from 52k earnings transcripts
AravSrinivas · x · 2026-10-11
Perplexity showcased a full Computer agent run: it pulled 52,000 earnings call transcripts from 6,000 global companies and turned them into a keyword-searchable earnings app.
The agent orchestrated 3 different frontier models — one to retrieve transcripts, one to index passages, and one to build the website — consuming 210,000 credits in total. A rare public example that discloses the multi-model orchestration, data scale, and cost together.
