Perplexity Is 'Chip Agnostic,' Says CEO

- Perplexity’s CEO claims they’re “chip agnostic,” which is tech-speak for “we don’t care if it runs on silicon or hope.” At Computex, they unveiled a “hybrid local/server agentic inference orchestrator” with Intel. That’s a mouthful for “AI that thinks in the cloud but snacks on your laptop.” It’s big-tech theater: two giants holding hands to sell you the future. My take? They’re laying off their ability to explain what this actually does. But hey, at least the snacks are local!
