Perplexity Computer can now run fully local on your Mac.

d is for design!
we're growing the team modal.jobs
Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel.
Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year.
We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

here in new york to build the future of ai infrastructure.
we're looking for a sr/staff brand designer to join our team: folks who want to build new systems and tools, and rethink how brands are made from the ground up.

Always a blast working with @apostraphi on this one and getting inspired every day 🐐🙏

Today we’re launching Portable Computer on @NVIDIA DGX Spark.
Portable Computer is a fully local version of Perplexity Computer, where the entire runtime: orchestrator LLM, subagent LLM, agent harness all run on your local hardware. No cloud dependency.
🎉 excited to share here that i joined @perplexity_ai as lead design engineer a month ago! so grateful to work with @apostraphi and team obsessing over every detail of the landing page.

(p.s. we're hiring across creative studio, dm if you want to join!)
We're integrating Deep Research as a native skill inside Computer.
It now connects to the agent harness that powers Computer, with access to search as code generation, long running sandboxes, connectors, tools, and licensed data.
Available now to Pro and Max subscribers.

wow this is my favorite careers page
We only hire builders (and we’re on a hiring spree)!
Reply with something you've built. I'll read them personally. We’re interviewing the best ones.
You’ll be a good fit if you:
- work best without permission
- default to “how could I automate this”
- had weird teenage hobbies
- spend your sunday making side projects
- have more Claude agents than cousins
- shipped something this week
- make prototypes, not powerpoints
- don’t like hierarchy
- are good at games: chess, monopoly, poker
- would take dinner with Elon over $100k
Good luck,
Eric
New launch with @KnowltonAnder and Aodan 😎 funnnn

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢
Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔
Tune in at 12pm on briansoffice.com 💛 the team has been working on this for two months and so excited to see everything coming together
Spinning this whole page up right before an offisite feels 🥵
