CAPACITY TEST:
Perplexity Makes AI Efficiency the Next Test for Agentic Platforms
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas is positioning AI efficiency around the metric of token value per watt per user.
The company's Personal Computer product is an orchestration layer that decides which model to use, how agents cooperate and where AI processing should happen.
The market test is whether Perplexity can convert its neutral, cross-model approach into durable value while larger platform companies build their own AI agents.
