Perplexity Portable Computer hits Windows: local agents on 24GB+ NVIDIA RTX with MCP and scheduled tasks
Perplexity says Portable Computer is now available on Windows PCs with NVIDIA RTX GPUs: run the harness, agents, and models locally, work with local files and apps, and fall back to frontier cloud models when needed. On-device work does not consume Computer credits; follow-ups add local MCP and scheduled tasks, and NVIDIA confirms 24GB+ VRAM.
Key Takeaways
- Portable Computer now runs on Windows with NVIDIA RTX for local harness/agents/models.
- On-device work skips Computer credits; cloud frontier models remain optional.
