Dylan Patel continues his praise of Perplexity: though not the inventor of the Computer/persistent-agent category, it's a fast follower that implements any requested change in under 24 hours.
He even reveals the "Computer" name came from his team back in February. The attached screenshot is from SemiAnalysis's earlier Claude Code article, describing it as a terminal-native CLI agent with full computer access, citing Karpathy's remark that a year into vibe coding his manual coding ability is starting to atrophy.
