Perplexity launched 'Computer,' an AI system that orchestrates 19 different AI models to autonomously research topics, write code, deploy applications, and complete multi-step projects. Unlike single-model chatbots, Computer routes tasks to specialized models and chains their outputs.
Why it matters
Multi-model orchestration is emerging as the architecture of choice for complex AI workflows. Perplexity's approach — using the right model for each sub-task — mirrors what enterprise architects are building internally. This could simplify the 'which model to use' question by abstracting it behind an orchestration layer.
What to do
Evaluate whether multi-model orchestration fits your AI architecture. If your team is manually routing tasks to different models, tools like Computer may automate that decision-making.
