Perplexity just launched Computer, orchestrating 19 AI models across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to research, code, and deploy projects end-to-end at $200/month. This multi-model approach signals a fundamental shift: the future isn't about finding the single best AI, but intelligently routing tasks to specialized models. With 400+ app integrations, persistent memory, and parallel agent execution, Perplexity is transitioning from search engine to autonomous workflow platform. The orchestration layer is becoming the new competitive frontier in AI, separating model providers from platform builders. As AI "computers" run workflows while we sleep, the question shifts from which model to use to who orchestrates them best.
