Perplexity Portable Computer is now available on Windows

Perplexity is adding Portable Computer in the Perplexity app for Windows on compatible NVIDIA GeForce RTX PCs and NVIDIA RTX PRO Workstations, bringing agentic AI to more Windows PC users. The release builds on existing support for NVIDIA DGX Spark systems and RTX PCs running Linux.   

Accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, Portable Computer uses local models to analyse data, bring together information across files and handle recurring work. Sensitive information stays on-device, and locally-completed work doesn’t consume Perplexity Computer credits. 

For tasks that call for more advanced reasoning, Portable Computer can also identify when a task needs cloud support, asking the user for permission before sending information off-device. 

The app simplifies setup with a local model, such as Qwen 3.8 27B, that is post-trained to work with Perplexity Computer and optimised for NVIDIA RTX GPUs. Users can put the agent to work without having to research models or configure the complex software stack typically required to run local AI.

Computer’s built-in tools include a built-in browser and proprietary SPACE sandbox. Connectors for Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Google Drive, Gmail, Slack and GitHub extend that experience across the files and apps already part of users’ daily workflows.

For example, the agent can help with: 

Engineering

Review open pull requests in a connected GitHub project, organise them by status and identify next steps. Computer can also flag outdated documentation and submit proposed updates for review. 

Finance

Point Computer at two years of brokerage summaries, consolidated 1099s and tax returns, and have it trace the recurring holdings creating the most avoidable fees and tax drag, with every figure cited to the exact file and page — all without a document ever reaching a chatbot. 

Startups

Ask Computer why activation went flat, and the agent analyses the funnel export locally to find where new signups drop off between install and first completed task, then posts the top insights straight to the team’s Slack channel. 

Explore

Portable Computer is available for NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with 24 GB or more of VRAM. NVIDIA DGX Station support is expected to come soon.

NVIDIA brings secure agent workspaces and confidential computing to AI factories

As enterprise AI use cases move from chatbots to persistent, autonomous agents capable of reasoning, writing their own software tools, and executing complex cross-system workflows, demands on token generation fundamentally rewrite the enterprise model for security, compliance, infrastructure and cost.  To scale safely, organisations need AI factories  that are built for secure, trusted and efficient AI production. NVIDIA is supporting this trend with new reference architectures for  Secure Agent Workspaces ,  Confidential VMs and Confidential Containers .  Legacy IT security controls — static credentials, network allowlists and standard role-based access — were not designed for autonomous agents, NVIDIA said. Securing an AI factory requires a paradigm shift to runtime-enforced, policy-driven guardrails. Enterprises need secure agent workspaces — persistent, single-user environments accessed via enterprise single sign-on. Secure agent workspaces are governed by...

Agnes AI enters global top 10 AI lab rankings

- Agnes AI delivers globally-ranked agentic and image AI performance - Offers cost-efficient AI access for emerging markets - Supports national push to upskill tech professionals Agnes AI, a Singapore-headquartered AI model company that has built and trained its own multimodal foundation models entirely in-house, is now a top-10 lead across three independent AI benchmark rankings.  The company said its proprietary models have entered the global top 10 AI labs ranks. The latest rankings on Claw-Eval and Artificial Analysis follow a top-10 AI labs placement on PinchBench , a globally-recognised agentic model evaluation benchmark. According to the company, it is the first Singapore-born AI model company to enter the global top 10 across these international AI lab rankings. Agnes AI noted the benchmark results also provide independent validation that a Singapore-born AI lab can compete on the same global leaderboards as the world’s most-recognised AI companies. “Singapore’s ...
