Perplexity Computer integrates Grok 4.5

Perplexity has integrated xAI's Grok 4.5 as the orchestrator for Perplexity Computer, achieving a top score of 0.328 on its internal WANDR benchmark. The integration is highly cost-effective, running at approximately half the cost of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8.

// ANALYSIS

The integration of Grok 4.5 into the Perplexity Computer harness highlights a shift toward model-agnostic orchestration layers that optimize for unit economics and efficiency without sacrificing reasoning capabilities.

* Multi-Model Orchestration: Rather than relying on a single model, Perplexity leverages Grok 4.5's strength in planning and tool calling to coordinate sub-agents.

* Unit Economics: Running at roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8 makes agentic tasks significantly more viable for commercial scaling.

* Real-World Benchmarks: A WANDR score of 0.328 validates Grok 4.5's capabilities in multi-step workflows.
