    Ninth Circuit hears Amazon v. Perplexity dispute

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a decision in a dispute involving Amazon and Perplexity, according to the linked appellate case page. The item appears to concern legal questions around how Perplexity’s system interacts with Amazon’s services rather than a product launch or technical release.

    Perplexity delegates more work to GPT-6 Astra

    Perplexity says it uses Astra to draft communications, modify software, and monitor production systems. The company also reports checking in far less often than it did with earlier models, suggesting a higher level of trust in the system's autonomy.

    Perplexity adds Hybrid Compute to run AI tasks partly on Mac

    Perplexity launched Hybrid Compute for Computer, allowing AI tasks to move between cloud models and smaller models running locally on Apple silicon Macs. A local Privacy Gate checks for sensitive data, and users can choose which on-device model handles private steps while keeping the task context intact across cloud and local execution.

    Perplexity brings Computer agent to local desktop hardware

    Perplexity, working with Nvidia, has moved its Computer agent from the cloud to a local desktop version called Portable Computer. The system runs on Nvidia DGX Spark or high-end PCs with Ubuntu and at least 24GB of Nvidia GPU VRAM, and uses a local sandbox plus a deterministic orchestrator to manage tool use and sensitive cloud fallbacks.

    Apple Faces Rising Costs as AI Economics Come Under Fire

    The article argues that the economics of large language models are fundamentally unsustainable because token-based inference costs remain high while customers are pushed toward low-priced subscriptions. It also suggests that the heavy spending on AI infrastructure could pressure Apple through rising component and memory costs if the AI boom slows or reverses.

    NVIDIA Debuts Nemotron 3 Ultra for Long-Running AI Agents

    At NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA announced Nemotron 3 Ultra, an open 550-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model designed for long-running AI agents. The company says it delivers up to 5x faster inference and can reduce the cost of complex agentic tasks by up to 30%, with early adopters including Perplexity, Palantir and ServiceNow.
