Perplexity Portable Computer Is Now Available on Windows, Powered by NVIDIA RTX
Perplexity Portable Computer brings multi-step agents to Windows PCs — no cloud required, all inference local.
Why it matters
Local agent execution on consumer hardware (powered by NVIDIA GPUs) is crossing from prototype to availability, enabling practitioners to deploy autonomous workflows on-device while keeping data private. This marks a shift from cloud-dependent agents to edge-deployed autonomy.
The key facts
