In the quiet but consequential expansion of machine intelligence into everyday life, Perplexity has opened its Personal Computer AI assistant to all Mac users — no longer a privilege of the few, but a tool available to anyone willing to invite it onto their desktop. The move is less about a single product launch and more about a philosophical wager: that the future of AI belongs not to whichever model is smartest, but to whichever platform is wisest in how it brings many models together. It is a bet that orchestration, not dominance, is the new frontier.
