On November 6, 2026, Perplexity released the Teammates feature. The company says it proactively uses the user's Computer tasks, skills, memory, and tools to complete work, and can collaborate with other teammates and send messages to colleagues in Slack. It is currently available on the web to Max subscribers. A November 7 report said that, as the user's "team member," the feature is responsible for planning and coordinating projects, can adjust the direction of work according to changes in priorities, and submits results for review. It was initially launched on the web and later expanded to iOS. On November 8, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said Teammate can be used like a world-class chief of staff or executive assistant, and that a two-day trial showed immediate PMF; the same day, he also said that Teammates' automated run volume grew 3.7 times from the day of launch to the next day.

Perplexity CEO says Teammate can be used as a chief of staff
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said that Teammate can be used like a world-class chief of staff or executive assistant, and that he saw immediate PMF after a two-day trial. It can handle schedule management, email follow-ups, task triage, vendor coordination, daily briefings, meeting preparation, and next-step work planning; it only needs to be set up once for unified orchestration, without splitting it into multiple Computer sessions.

METR Report: Anthropic's Internal AI Progress Rate Is Roughly Twice as Fast as Before
The AI evaluation nonprofit METR released a report, based on 11 weeks of access to Anthropic's internal data and employee interviews, estimating that its AI progress rate is about 2 times the previous 2024–25 pace, with a range of 1.3 to 3 times, of which about 80% is attributed to Anthropic's own AI. Anthropic co-founder and head of safety Sam McCandlish said that a large amount of content was cut to avoid "giving others a roadmap for acceleration." The report also disclosed that two internal models rank ahead of Claude Opus 5.5, among which "Model 4" exceeds 50% on all 15 test benchmarks.
