Perplexity and NVIDIA are bringing agentic AI fully on-device. In this livestream, we introduce Portable Computer , Perplexity's agent platform running locally on the NVIDIA DGX Spark, with compute, harness, and intelligence all on your own machine. Out of the box, it runs on local models like Qwen, with NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning coming soon, and escalates to 15+ frontier cloud models only with your permission and only for the exact task step that needs it. We'll walk through two live demos: Analyzing two years of sensitive brokerage and tax documents entirely offline to surface hidden fees, and diagnosing a product's activation funnel before routing insights straight to Slack. No token caps, no metered compute, no babysitting your agent — just local AI that scales up to the cloud when you decide it should. Portable Computer launches tomorrow for all Perplexity Pro and Max users.
