Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Perplexity for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A 16:9 mid-1980s murder-mystery comedy movie poster of a wide three-story Victorian mansion rendered in high-contrast black-and-white pen-and-ink engraving with dense crosshatching on pure black, title 'Perplexity' above the roofline in fat rounded extra-heavy white sans-serif letters, warm amber-lit windows holding costumed suspects (a trench-coated librarian with footnoted index cards, a sequined woman presenting a glowing question mark on a silver tray, a monocled scholar pointing at a floating citation bubble) alongside still-life windows crowded with open books, scrolling parchment URLs, blue hyperlink ribbons and magnifying glasses, plus one window with only a shadow holding a question-mark sign. Center double doors open to reveal the butler: a slim upright man in his sixties with slicked-back silver hair, silver pencil mustache, raised eyebrow, black tailcoat, gray waistcoat, white gloves, holding a silver tray with a sealed envelope stamped with a tiny magnifying-glass-over-a-spark wax seal, symmetrical frontal composition, campy spooky theatrical lighting.
This Week in Perplexity News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
The main story was Portable Computer, Perplexity's new local-first agent stack built with Nvidia for the DGX Spark. Nvidia's post says that when it runs locally, it offers one-click local inference setup and an agent experience tuned for that hardware. VentureBear's headline describes it as a fully local agent with zero token costs.
Separately, The Information reported that Nvidia is discussing an investment in Perplexity at a valuation of $30 billion or more. On the developer side, Perplexity said connectors are now available in its Agent API, so agents can reach GitHub, Slack, Google Drive and Datadog without a server URL or token on every request. API Group admins can connect each service once for all members.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
