Perplexity announced that Perplexity Computer can now run entirely locally on Mac, with both the model and the agent executing on the device, so task processing does not require sending sensitive data to the cloud. The feature is now available in the Perplexity Mac app and can directly operate native Mac applications and local files. Aravind Srinivas added that it can be used without an internet connection and without relying on cloud inference. The feature is currently live, and there are no further developments to report.
