Generative AI increasingly permeates enterprise workflows. However, data privacy concerns and staggering inference costs frequently hinder widespread adoption. The AI search and assistant platform Perplexity recently unveiled a sophisticated new feature. This innovative addition, named "Hybrid Compute," enhances their Mac-based "Perplexity Computer" suite. It seamlessly integrates advanced cloud models with powerful local Large Language Models (LLMs). This hybrid approach effectively secures sensitive data within the local device during automated tasks.

#Perplexity’s new #HybridCompute tool allows users to split tasks between #cloud based and #local #AImodels, prioritising #dataprivacy and #costeffectiveness. The tool, integrated into the #Mac app, automatically detects sensitive information and suggests keeping it local. While fully cloud-based models may offer superior performance, Hybrid Compute provides a balance between capability, privacy, and cost for users who prioritise these factors. https://www.engadget.com/2248548/perplexitys-hybrid-compute-splits-sensitive-tasks-between-cloud-and-local-ai/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews
