The Perplexity Mac app now has an account switcher. Switch between your saved accounts, add a new one, or manage them from the sidebar profile menu or the account settings menu. Live now in the Mac app for all Computer users.

Imagine a fable 5 quality model that’s 3-4x less expensive in less than 6 months. And an Opus 4.8 grade model that can run on a local device in less than 12 months. Greater than 50% chance that these events will happen. Worth keeping in mind when you make predictions about the future.


Introducing Computer Analytics: You can now track credit spend across models. Available now under Analytics in Account Settings for consumer and enterprise users.

We're releasing a research preview of a new orchestrator model in Perplexity Computer. The model is an adapted version of GLM 5.2, post-trained for the Computer harness. It delivers near-frontier performance at 0.344x of the cost of Opus.

now that everyones on this "use harnesses vs native providers with agents", here's your important reminder that its not always a good idea... Pi vs Claude SDK: warden.sentry.dev/benchmarking

Introducing Brain in Computer. Brain is a continuously learning memory system. Every task on Computer plugs into a context graph built by Brain. It makes Computer more stateful with every run. Available as a research preview for all Perplexity Max subscribers.

Introducing GLM-5.2: Frontier Intelligence, Open Weights - Significant improvements in coding and agentic tasks - Strong long-horizon capabilities with a 1M context window - Two levels of reasoning effort: GLM-5.2 (max) pushes the limits, while GLM-5.2 (high) strikes a strong balance between performance and token efficiency - MIT-licensed open weights - Same API pricing as GLM-5.1 Tech Blog: z.ai/blog/glm-5.2 Weights: huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.2 API: docs.z.ai/guides/llm/glm… Coding Plan: z.ai/subscribe Chat: chat.z.ai



Introducing Search as Code, our new search architecture for AI agents. It writes Python that calls our search stack directly, instead of looping through function calls one at a time. Available in the Perplexity Agent API, and now default in Computer. research.perplexity.ai/articles/rethi…
