Perplexity (@perplexity_ai) says Portable Computer is now available on Linux for NVIDIA RTX GPUs with 24GB of VRAM or higher. It is a local-first AI assistant stack: orchestrator and subagent models can run privately on-device, with optional cloud escalation. After the earlier DGX Spark launch, this extends local deployment to consumer/workstation RTX cards.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Linux build needs NVIDIA RTX with 24GB+ VRAM.
  • ✓Local-first: orchestrator LLM, subagent LLM, and agent harness can run on-device.
  • ✓Complements the DGX Spark edition and lowers the bar for high-VRAM RTX workstations.
