From the indie agents weekly digest: Perplexity Computer can now run fully local on your Mac as of Oct 20 — both the model and the agent run on-device, available now in the Perplexity Mac app. Part of a 'local-first week' that also saw Underdog go on-device, Hark give away $1M of pizza, Pally hit WhatsApp, and Replika's founder launch Wabi.
