Local tasks use PPLX Pro, our post-trained version of Qwen 3.8, and don't consume Computer credits.
For more complex work, Hybrid can split the task between a cloud models and a local model on your Mac, keeping sensitive data private.

We're open sourcing SPACE, the sandbox platform that runs every task in Perplexity Computer.
SPACE gives each agent task its own Firecracker microVM and controls credentials and outbound traffic from outside the VM.
Available now under Apache 2.0: github.com/perplexityai/SPAC…

We tested SPACE by attacking it with frontier models. In Escaping SPACE: Part I, nine model configurations with root inside the VM made 108 escape attempts, and none reached the host.

Our sandbox, SPACE, handles millions of executions a day with an error rate below 0.0002%.
We’re sharing how it uses cryptographic identity to keep requests tied to the right execution as sandboxes pause, resume, and move.

Each request carries short-lived, signed proof of which execution may handle it and what access is allowed.
The receiving worker checks that identity against its own runtime record and rejects mismatches before forwarding.

Terminals and file watches can outlive their opening requests. Once a receiver installs the new execution identity, SPACE stops the old streams. Eligible operations can reconnect once, passing the identity checks again.

This is how we built the filesystem behind Perplexity Projects as a Git forge for agents.
Each agent works in its own sandbox and commits to a shared repository where people and other agents can build on its work across sessions.

A single long-lived sandbox per project would need provisioning for peak load and months of uptime.
Instead, repositories live on S3-backed storage and each agent runs in its own ephemeral sandbox, so a crash loses only unsubmitted work.
