Explained in plain English

What is local AI?

Local AI means running artificial intelligence software directly on your own computer, rather than sending all tasks to powerful servers in the cloud. Perplexity's new system starts AI tasks locally, only sending more complex parts to cloud models. This approach gives users more control over their data and privacy, as less information leaves their machine.
