Decagon is powering customer support for some of the biggest brands in the industry: Delta Airlines, Ticketmaster, Deutsche Telekom, American Airlines. A lot of support related questions require accurate online information and we’re happy to power that with Perplexity’s search.
We’re partnering with @Perplexity_AI to bring live web search to Decagon agents. Customer questions often depend on information that changes by the hour. Agents can now search the live web mid conversation, pull in current information, and respond with cited sources.
Hardware like DGX Spark, with a local agentic computer, will become the gateway for consuming frontier tokens.
at perplexity we are really excited about multi-agent collaboration! we recently explored a simple instantiation of this with advisor escalation from a local model to a remote frontier model, where we showed it can significantly boost the local model's performance. an
We are doubling down on making Computer more useful for financial researchers and analysts. Computer now connects to new licensed data sources, including Dun & Bradstreet, Guidepoint, IBISWorld, and 20+ others. An analyst can ask Computer a question and get an answer built from the firm's own licensed sources without APIs or separate logins to work through. Every figure traces to the source record it came from. Teams doing high-stakes work would know exactly which data set produced which number. To connect, select a provider in Settings → Connectors and sign in with an existing license. Available now to all Perplexity users. https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/computer-connects-to-20-new-licensed-finance-data-sources
Perplexity Computer for Max users comes with a background Dream agent that continually ingests context from files and connected apps and builds multi-hop context graphs in a perpetual compounding loop. Results show a significant jump in correctness, recall and token efficiency.
Brain is our self-improving memory system for Perplexity Computer. It compiles sessions, files, and sources into a structured knowledge wiki. New evals build on our initial results, improving correctness by 9.3 points, currentness by 8.0, and recall by 8.9 with 15% fewer tokens.
Big thanks to @nvidia for working together with us and supporting this research on DGX Spark as well as enabling an open ecosystem around cost-effective open-weight models, inference frameworks, and hardware with unified memory.

Today we’re launching Portable Computer on @NVIDIA DGX Spark. Portable Computer is a fully local version of Perplexity Computer, where the entire runtime: orchestrator LLM, subagent LLM, agent harness all run on your local hardware. No cloud dependency.
View quoted postRT Perplexity DeepSeek V4 Pro, hosted in the U.S., is now available in Perplexity Computer. We evaluated it against other models on WANDR. It scored 0.359 at $0.75 per task, 62% cheaper than the next model on the cost-performance frontier.
Dense models are slow to run on local hardware, but this is incredible and a sign of things to come soon-ish.
RT Igor Babuschkin The River API was tested in this blog post and outperformed Tinker on reinforcement learning runs with identical training code. We spent a lot of effort to get details like routing replay right so you get the best possible results with the API.
We can now RL large MoEs with 0 train-infer mismatch! And doing so can improve performance (pictured task: teach Qwen3.6-35B-A3B to play Wordle). Everything is open-source and we did a bunch of ablations. 🧵
You’re right @GergelyOrosz, we got this wrong. Reminder email didn’t go out to this user. He has been refunded, but this is not how we want to operate. We are upgrading our support across the board.
Perplexity, the last 6-12 months, is disappointment after disappointment. I used to be a huge advocate for the service thanks to how good it was at search. I did this promo with them (where I received no payment) for paid subscribers to get access. Then Perplexity does this 👎
RT Johnny Ho If your agent needs frontier web search, it's hard to beat Perplexity's Agent API (on any metric).

Perplexity Agent API is the best for web search and browsing agents
Sonar is moving to the Agent API. The Perplexity Agent API keeps grounded web search, and adds multi-step research, code execution, built-in tools, and access to multiple models through one API. On BrowseComp and WideSearch, Agent API more than doubles the best Sonar score.
Congrats to @SpaceXAI on one more amazing model: Grok 4.6. We benchmarked it as an orchestrator on our Wide-And-Deep-Research benchmark using the Perplexity Computer harness, and it neatly sits on the Pareto frontier of performance vs cost. Available to all Pro and Max users on Perplexity!
Grok 4.6 is now available in Perplexity and Perplexity Computer. On WANDR, it sits on the Pareto frontier of performance and efficiency, matching Fable 5 results at over 60% lower cost.

Perplexity Computer’s goal is to provide the maximum intelligence for minimum cost with multi model orchestration. We’ve tested GPT 5.6 Terra extensively and found it to be a pretty good model: capable and cost-effective at the same time. We’re making it the default for all subagents inside Perplexity Computer harness. And are also offering it as an orchestrator model for all Computer users. Have fun!
GPT 5.6 Terra and Luna are now live in Perplexity Computer. Terra is the new default model for all Computer subagents, while Luna will serve as the primary model for scheduled automations. Terra is also available as an orchestrator model in Computer.
Verification is key when using agents for high stakes research!

RT Jensen Huang Today, we’re launching Alpamayo 2 Super, our frontier open reasoning model for autonomous vehicles. Beyond seeing, Alpamayo understands and reasons through the complex world - thinks before it acts. It’s a powerful backbone for robotaxis, trucks, shuttles, delivery vans, tractors and the long tail of mobile robots—billions of autonomous machines someday. We’re releasing it for commercial use under OpenMDW-1.1 so teams can inspect it, fine-tune it and deploy it—open models advance safety and security. The next wave of AI is robotics—and it starts with autonomous vehicles. Great work, Alpamayo team! https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/alpamayo-2-super-open-model-now-available
Two orders of magnitude improvements are quite rare. This is a big deal.
DeepSeek V4-Flash isn’t just cheaper per token. It reportedly completes the same benchmark tasks as Fable 5 at 105× lower total cost, according to @ArtificialAnlys ! That's precisely why the Flash release is, for me, the DeepSeek 2.0 moment. It will cause a huge stir.
RT DeepSeek 🚀 DeepSeek-V4-Flash Official API is now LIVE in public beta! 🔷 We’ve massively upgraded its Agent capabilities—benchmark scores are now far surpassing the V4-Pro-Preview. Check out the massive performance leap below! 👇 🔷 The official V4-Flash now natively supports the Responses API format and is fully adapted for Codex!

RT DHH This is why we need competition and open weights in AI. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).
RT Perplexity Claude Opus 5 is now available in Perplexity and Perplexity Computer. We evaluated it against six other models on WANDR. It outperformed all but Fable 5, while being 57% cheaper.
RT Brad Gerstner Fully endorse. America is winning. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, SpaceX are doing more than fine competing against open source! Self regulation, free markets, level playing fields & max competition for the win. Let our AI horses run, compete & win around the world! 🇺🇸🚀
