We’ve been post-training a version of GLM that is trained to escalate to a frontier model inside the Computer harness. When paired with an advisor, this model functions at Opus 4.8 grade performance at a fraction of the cost. Available now as a research preview!

@perplexity_ai: We're releasing a research preview of a new orchestrator model in Perplexity Computer.

The model is an adapted version of GLM 5.2, post-trained for the Computer harness. It delivers near-frontier performance at 0.344x of the cost of Opus. https://t.co/jcxikoFRfn
