Perplexity production data shows AI agents perform 26 min of autonomous work vs 33 sec for search, cut task time 87%
A paper using production data from Perplexity's Search and Computer products quantifies how autonomous AI agents reshape knowledge work relative to conversational search. Key findings: Computer executes 26 minutes of autonomous work per session versus 33 seconds for Search, reduces task completion time from 269 to 36 minutes on matched tasks (87% time reduction, 94% cost reduction), and lowers per-query dissatisfaction by 55%. The study also finds agents shift user behavior toward higher-order tasks, cross occupational boundaries more often, and unlock work categories essentially absent from search usage.
Data Points: Perplexity Computer expands, Google Aletheia math agent, DeepSeek chip strategy, Nvidia retrieval pipeline, Stargate cancellation
The Batch's weekly data points roundup covers five significant AI developments: Perplexity expanded its Computer agentic platform to desktop, mobile, and enterprise with new APIs and financial data tools; Google released Aletheia, a Gemini-based math research agent achieving 95.1% on IMO-Proof Bench Advanced (up from 65.7%); DeepSeek withheld pre-release access to its V4 model from Nvidia and AMD while giving domestic Chinese chipmakers early access; Nvidia's NeMo Retriever topped the ViDoRe v3 leaderboard using a ReACT-based agentic retrieval loop; and OpenAI and Oracle cancelled plans to expand the Abilene Stargate campus from 1.2 GW to 2.0 GW due to financing and reliability issues.
