Perplexity enables fully local AI workflows on Apple Silicon Macs
Perplexity has expanded its Computer app so users can run its entire AI agent experience, including the orchestrator and harness, locally on an Apple Silicon Mac with at least 36GB of RAM. Users can pick between two local models, Qwen 3.6 or Perplexity's own fine-tuned PPLX Pro, and still call on over 15 frontier models when needed. The feature is rolling out now to Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise subscribers via the Mac app.
