  "title": "Perplexity AI expands beyond search into hardware and agentic AI",
  "narrative": "Perplexity AI is no longer just an AI search engine. The company has developed its own hardware—the Perplexity Personal Computer—and a suite of agentic AI systems, directly competing with Google and OpenAI. It leverages multiple LLMs including Nemotron 3 Super and Qwen3, while also building proprietary models like pplx-embed and bidirectional language models. Partnerships with Nvidia and Plaid signal ecosystem ambition, yet Perplexity has also sued partner Amazon, revealing operational friction. With Aravind Srinivas at the helm, the company is shipping at speed—integrating agentic AI into real-world products—but its hardware bet and legal entanglements create execution risk.",
