Perplexity's agent can now run free on your own Nvidia GPU
Your move: Needs specific Nvidia hardware, but zero ongoing token cost
On August 25, 2026, Perplexity launched Portable Computer, a version of its Computer agent that runs entirely on hardware you already own instead of the cloud. It works on Nvidia's DGX Spark desktop and on Linux machines with Nvidia RTX GPUs, built in partnership with Nvidia. Because it runs locally, tasks don't cost any tokens.
Why it matters
If you already have the right Nvidia hardware, this removes the ongoing cost of running agent tasks entirely. If you don't, there's nothing to act on yet, since it only works on specific Nvidia setups for now.
