Understand this story
Perplexity has added a local model option to its macOS agent system Perplexity Computer, allowing it to run Qwen 3.6 or its own post-trained PPLX Pro, so it no longer has to rely on cloud models and a constant internet connection. According to heise online, local operation requires an Apple Silicon device and recommends at least 36 GByte of RAM, and is available only to Pro, Max or Enterprise subscribers; it also offers Hybrid Compute, which can call more than 15 cloud frontier models through a local orchestrator. There are currently no further developments.
