PERPLEXITY PARTNERS WITH NVIDIA TO LAUNCH PORTABLE COMPUTER, A FULLY LOCAL AI AGENT WITH ZERO TOKEN COSTS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Perplexity's Portable Computer is a version of its agentic Computer platform that runs entirely on hardware users already own. The model, user data, and work can all stay on local machines with no billing credits. Every task starts on device by default, and the system asks for permission before sending any individual step to a more powerful model in the cloud. Portable Computer is now available for Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro, and Enterprise Max subscribers on Linux, with Windows support coming in September. Users will need an RTX GPU with at least 24GB of VRAM to run the agent.
