Gemini 4 Argon sets a new record on WANDR.

It is now available in Perplexity for Max subscribers.

NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is now available in Perplexity for Pro and Max subscribers, and in Agent API.

Ultrafast versions of GPT-6 Astra and SOL 6.1 are now available in Perplexity Computer for Max subscribers.

Both generate tokens faster, completing long Computer tasks sooner.

Choose Astra or SOL 6.1 under Custom, then set speed to Ultrafast.

Computer's new website editor lets you queue up requested changes to specific elements on the page.

Once you submit your changes, Computer addresses them in the main thread, and then outputs the new website.

The Perplexity App for Mac now has tabs, and sessions can be opened in separate windows.

You can run tasks next to each other in parallel, or place sessions on different screens.

Live now in version 26.37.1 for all Computer users on Mac.

Perplexity Computer now creates interactive charts and visualizations directly in your thread.

For financial data, Computer uses TradingView Lightweight Charts for candlesticks, volume, and moving averages.

We built a new way to train contextual embedding models, which encode each chunk of a document with the whole document in view.

pplx-embed-v2-context-9b-preview sets a new state of the art on ConTEB and turbopuffer's new, privately held context-bench.

Introducing Automations in Perplexity Computer.

Automations are for ongoing work. They can take action in response to event-based triggers or on a schedule.

Automations work with your memory, skills, and connected apps like Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Linear.

Agent governance is an engineering problem.

We’ve built safeguards into Perplexity’s infrastructure, harnesses, and tools, and put them to work across our products.

Today we're sharing how we engineer safer agents:

You can now build custom reusable agents in the Perplexity Agent API with Profiles, Skills, and managed connectors.

Configure an agent once in the API Portal and reuse it across applications and workflows.

A Profile saves the agent's model, instructions, tools, Skills, and managed connectors under one versioned ID.

We’re partnering with Nvidia and 100+ industry partners to build infrastructure that contains rogue AI agents.

In this research, we gave 9 AI models root access inside SPACE and told them to break out.

Across 108 runs, none breached the VM boundary.

Introducing Fast Search in the Perplexity Search API.

Fast Search runs on Photon, our new Rust-based retrieval and ranking service that we built with a small team of engineers and hundreds of agents.

It returns 95% of search results in 230 ms or less.

Ask Computer for a campaign clip, product demo, or social asset, and it produces finished video next to copy and creative in same thread.

Available now for Pro and Max subscribers.

We’re rolling out effort controls in Computer’s model selector.

Effort presets combine the orchestrator model and reasoning depth to control how deeply and efficiently Computer works through a task.

Available now on web. Coming to mobile and desktop soon.

A new Perplexity Search SDK cookbook is live.

The recipe fans out focused searches, filters results to official docs, extracts relevant passages, and writes a source-linked brief for your coding agent.
