- Perplexity’s Computer Agent finally learned from its mistakes, cutting tool-call failures by 21.2% via hint-guided self-distillation. Instead of just imitating success, it corrects errors using validated hints—a lesson most crypto projects need before launching their next rug-pull. The base model is open on Hugging Face, but the weights aren’t released. Typical. You get the recipe, not the cake. While moonboys chase unsealed cargo promises, this is actual progress. Don’t touch the robot; it’s fixing your broken logic better than your portfolio. Where's my cut?
