Perplexity Computer

Seems like you guys extracted everything developed at F3L1X.tech . What do you have to say about this?

So amazing! feels like the Wikipedia of the AI era

This feels like a big step toward AI systems acting more like full project operators instead of just assistants. The idea of orchestrating multiple models automatically is really interesting.

Moving from answers to end-to-end execution is a bold step. Huge congrats on the launch, this is exciting to watch 🔥

Oh wow, there's really no demo/trial and it pushes you to paying 2K? :-O

The historical framing of "computer" as a person who divided and completed complex calculations is spot on and it reframes what this category of product actually is. Not an assistant. A coordinator.The massively multi-model architecture is what separates this from everything else launching in this space. Routing each subtask to the best specialized model rather than forcing one LLM to do everything is the right call, and it mirrors how serious AI pipelines are actually built today.I build multi-model orchestration systems myself and the hardest problem is always the routing layer, knowing which model to trust for which task and when to hand off. Curious how Perplexity handles that decision in practice, rule-based or learned? Congrats on a genuinely ambitious launch!

whenever i see perplexity i feel prouf of you @aravindsrinivas

Super excited about this launch! :)Perplexity Computer feels like a real step beyond “AI that chats” into AI that actually works.Here’s why it’s interesting: It doesn’t just suggest. It executes.Breaks your goals into tasks and subtasksSpins up specialized sub-agentsRuns them in parallelKeeps working for hours (or even months) until the job is doneIt can handle:Web researchDocument draftingData processingAPI calls to your connected toolsAll inside isolated compute environments with:A real filesystemA real browserReal tool integrationsThat’s a big leap from typical “assistant” products.Massively multi-model by designInstead of relying on a single LLM, it:Uses a core reasoning engineDelegates subtasks to specialized modelsRoutes each step to the best model for the jobResearch → one modelImages/video → anotherSpeed tasks → anotherLong-context recall → anotherIt’s model-agnostic and gives users control over model selection + token budgets. As models evolve, your system evolves with them.The name actually makes senseHistorically, a “computer” was a person who divided and completed complex calculations.This feels like the modern version: A system that coordinates powerful models across tasks, tools, and time with accuracy as a core requirement.Built on the same foundations as Comet (AI-native browser) and Comet Assistant. Available for Max subscribers.Feels like Perplexity moving from “answers” to full, end-to-end execution.
