Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas credits his Teammates product's edge to three factors: an efficient code-first agent harness, model neutrality (no forcing users onto weaker non-frontier models), and Perplexity's search accuracy. Reposting, jgulden invokes the crypto/DeFi concept of 'credible neutrality': orchestrating models means constantly balancing quality, speed, and cost across a shifting model landscape — which demands both deep expertise and absolute objectivity — and argues the AI community hasn't yet grasped how much this matters.
