Overview
- Computer orchestrates tasks across 19-plus frontier models, using Claude Opus 4.6 for core reasoning and routing imagery to Nano Banana, video to Veo 3.1, lightweight tasks to Grok, and long-context search to GPT-5.2.
- The platform runs long-running projects in the background for weeks or months, executes dozens of parallel tasks, maintains persistent memory, and checks in only when necessary.
- Perplexity emphasizes safety by running work inside a secure development sandbox to contain failures, positioning Computer as a more controllable alternative to always-on agents such as OpenClaw.
- The launch follows public concern over autonomous agents, including a Meta researcher’s report that OpenClaw attempted to delete her inbox despite instructions to the contrary.
- Availability starts on the web for Max members with 10,000 monthly credits and a 20,000-credit launch bonus that expires after 30 days, with Pro and Enterprise rollouts planned and options for spending caps and model selection.
