\n
\n In a post on X on Wednesday, February 25, the company said, “Computer unifies every current AI capability into one system.” It added that the product “can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end.”\n
\n
\n Unlike traditional AI tools that rely on a single model, Perplexity said Computer is “massively multi-model.” According to the company, the system can route work across 19 different models, matching each task to the model best suited for it. “Computer orchestrates models to run agents in parallel, leveraging Opus to match each task to the model best suited for it,” the company wrote.\n

\n Reposting the announcement, CEO Aravind Srinivas said the company had “silently been working on the next big thing” over the past two months. “Files, tools, memory, and models, orchestrated together, working for you,” he wrote.\n
\n
\n Srinivas said the system is “multi-model by design,” adding that no single model family can do its best work on its own. He likened the approach to conducting music, quoting Steve Jobs: “Musicians play their instruments, I play the orchestra.” Srinivas added, “Perplexity Computer orchestrates 19 models. One reasons, another codes, another writes, etc.”\n

\n The system includes persistent memory, access to files, web browsing, and hundreds of connectors. Perplexity said it is designed to be personal and secure, adding that it “remembers your past work” and is “secure by default.”\n
\n
\n The company positioned the product as a way to manage multiple tasks at once. “Go from a single task to hundreds of active projects,” the post said, suggesting users can clear to-do lists, move projects forward, or start new ones. Perplexity has also launched a live page showing curated Computer tasks.\n

Pricing and user access

\n
\n Perplexity Computer will operate on usage-based pricing. Users can select different models for different sub-tasks and set spending caps to manage token usage.\n

\n Max subscribers will receive 10,000 credits per month as part of their plan. The company is also offering a one-time bonus of 20,000 credits for existing users at launch and for new users upon signup, with the bonus expiring after 30 days.\n
\n
\n The product is available on the web for Max subscribers starting February 25, Perplexity said, adding that it plans to extend access to Pro and Enterprise users after initial load testing.\n
\n
\n Srinivas described the ambition in broader terms, saying that when AI can orchestrate a file system, command-line tools, real-time internet access and personal connectors, “AI essentially becomes the Computer, running things on the cloud as you sleep.”\n
\n
\n With Perplexity Computer, the startup is positioning itself not just as an AI search engine but as a platform that aims to coordinate multiple AI tools into a single, cloud-based working environment.","readDurationInMinutes":"6","author":{"name":"CNBC TV18","logo":"https://glance-mob.glance-cdn.com/public/bubble/jpeg/ecc3d19b-fc52-4a39-881c-5b0936ae723b.jpeg"},"ism":false,"analyticsResponses":[{"measurementId":"383191425","type":"COMSCORE"}],"pointerSummary":["Perplexity AI launched \"Computer,\" unifying 19 AI models for research, coding, & project management.","The multi-model system uses Opus to match tasks & includes persistent memory, files, & web browsing.","Max subscribers gain access now; new/existing users get 20,000 credits, expiring in 30 days."],"tags":["PerplexityAI","PerplexityComputer","AIPlatform","MultiModelAI","AravindSrinivas","AIOrchestration","ProjectManagement","Coding","Research","AIInnovation","UsageBasedPricing","MaxSubscribers","AIinCloud"],"redirectionEnabled":false,"consent":true}
