Nvidia expands access to perplexity's local AI agent for windows rtx pcs

NVIDIA has expanded access to Perplexity's local AI agent, 'Portable Computer,' to Windows RTX PC users. The platform allows users to run AI tasks locally, keeping sensitive data on the device. Portable Computer is a local version of Perplexity's Computer, capable of planning and executing multi-step tasks using NVIDIA GPU acceleration. It processes data and integrates information from multiple files without uploading data to the cloud. The release supports Windows PCs with NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO workstations, expanding access beyond Linux systems and DGX Spark. The app integrates local and cloud AI, offering tools like a built-in browser and SPACE sandbox environment. It also includes connectors for Microsoft and Google services, enhancing productivity across various industries. The application simplifies local model deployment with a pre-installed Qwen 3.8 27B model, optimized for NVIDIA RTX GPUs. It enables users to analyze data locally, identify inefficiencies, and automate workflows. For instance, it can analyze financial documents to find tax-saving opportunities and track user engagement in startups. NVIDIA plans to support DGX Station workstations soon, further expanding the platform's reach.
