Perplexity partners with Nvidia to launch Portable Computer, a fully local AI agent with zero token costs

Perplexity has partnered with Nvidia to launch Portable Computer, a local AI agent designed to run on user-owned hardware. Initially supporting Nvidia DGX Spark and Linux machines with Nvidia RTX GPUs, this platform moves AI agent workloads from the cloud to local devices. This approach ensures files and models remain on the machine, eliminating token costs and billing credits. By defaulting to local processing, Portable Computer offers faster performance, enhanced security, and reduced costs for its users.
