Perplexity Computer (in Standard Mode with Opus 5.5) is capable of designing and building an end-to-end, browser-based open-world game by renting its own GPUs, running headless Blender, doing procedural design, downloading assets online, and designing audio. Done with ~$2000 worth of credits. Play here: https://vice.pplx.app/

An opportunity to do research on: continual learning: multi-agent parallel workers; and synthetic data, environments and evals that measure frontier capabilities. We make enough money to fund new research and want to make lasting contributions and share our research openly.

AI Safety is an engineering problem

Consider joining our security team if you enjoy breaking systems and building guardrails (and using the frontier AI’s to help you do both). Kyle is awesome to work with and writes a lot of code himself!

A company is like a car and it will soon feel like a self driving car with the right automations set up. You can do that now with Perplexity Computer. Figuring out the right automations requires a good level of human skill and agency.

since there’s a lot of chatter on icons.. the OG was this.

We’re adding Profiles, Skills, and managed connectors to the Perplexity Agent API. A Profile is basically a saved agent where you configure model, instructions, tools, connectors, run settings, all under one versioned ID. A project admin sets it up once and every developer on the project can call it from their own app with the project API key. This helps you avoid copying the same config into every application and updating it in five places when the procedure changes. Skills are versioned so you can ship v2 of a procedure without touching each integration. Connectors (GitHub, Slack, Drive, Datadog, Linear, Notion to start) are configured once by the admin. That way, apps don’t hold their own credentials. Profiles and Skills are live today. Connectors in preview. https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/agent-api-now-supports-reusable-agents

We're opening access to anyone (no Perplexity account needed), and we will run all tasks delegated via email for free for a limited time. Forward or CC computer@perplexity.com to get started, and the agent will complete the task in the background while keeping the email context.

We’re open sourcing our state-of-the-art contextual embedding models, which perform best in turbopuffer’s context-bench.

Perplexity wins on Hugging Face Decision Index (benchmark for decision models). Our model is open-weights and accessible to all!
