So it's something that's interesting for me.

Internally, they say that their focus has kind of shifted from daily query counts to revenue metrics.

I think that has not been something that their users have not noticed.

I think there's some people that have been complaining on different like on Reddit and stuff about tighter rate limits on the free and paid tier.

A lot of people over at Perplexia right now say that the free tier has not been degraded.

I think if you look at all of this, though, Perplexity Computer, this new feature that they're going to be rolling out here soon, is basically showing they have a really big ambition.

They're trying to take on what Claude Code or OpenClaw is doing.

They're moving beyond just kind of being an AI search tool.

And I think that they actually made the first step in this direction with Perplexity Comet, their browser, which was an AI agent browser that could actually do tasks for you.

So I think this isn't like a new direction for them.

I think this is just them kind of following through.

And I will give Perplexity credit, which is that it feels like they're faster than a lot of the other frontier companies.

They beat OpenAI before OpenAI was able to release their Atlas browser and before Chrome was able to kind of do some of their features and even before...

Anthropic was able to.

So they're doing a great job.

This is a company I would definitely keep following in the future.

Thanks so much for tuning into the podcast.

I will catch you guys all in the next episode.
