Your Mac is now part of Perplexitys AI infrastructure
Summary
Perplexity launched Hybrid Compute, a new feature for Perplexity Computer that splits AI agent tasks between cloud models and models running on Apple silicon Macs. The system uses a local Privacy Gate to detect sensitive data and let users keep specific steps on-device. Perplexity says local execution can reduce cost and improve privacy while preserving task context across cloud and device boundaries. The feature supports enterprise governance controls and is available to Pro, Max, and enterprise customers on higher-end Macs.
