Perplexity

Perplexity describes how Projects provide persistent, concurrent, and traceable workspaces for people and autonomous agents. The design aims to make long-running agent work easier to inspect, continue, and collaborate on.

Perplexity introduced pplx-embed-v2-late, a family of late-interaction models that retain token-level representations for richer text and image retrieval. The 0.6B and 9B models share an embedding space, enabling lower-cost query serving against indexes built with the larger model.

Perplexity and American Express launched 10 business-focused Skills for tasks such as cash-flow management, marketing, and hiring in Perplexity Computer. The partnership expands Perplexity’s enterprise distribution through American Express business-card customers.
