Perplexity Computer can now run fully offline on Mac — but you’ll need a lot of RAM.
This update allows you to perform tasks across your apps and files without transmitting data to the cloud, but Perplexity recommends 36GB of RAM or more. It uses Apple Silicon to run Qwen 3.6 or PPLX Pro (a post-trained version of Qwen) directly on your Mac, while allowing you to transfer certain tasks to the cloud for access to updated information and browser use.
