Your files stay put: Perplexity’s hybrid AI keeps confidential data off the cloud
Perplexity today launched hybrid compute for its agentic platform, Computer, a system that lets a single AI agent split its work between frontier models running in the cloud and smaller open-weight models running locally on Apple silicon Macs — routing sensitive data to the local machine so it never leaves the device.The company says it is the first time an AI agent can begin a task in the cloud and dynamically hand off the confidential portions of that same task to a model running on the user s own hardware, without restarting the job or losing context. The feature becomes available today through Perplexity s desktop app for enterprise customers that opt in, as well as Pro and Max subscribers, on any Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later.

AI is redefining the workforce — and most planning models aren’t ready
Presented by SAPHR tracks employees and skills. Finance owns headcount targets and cost. Procurement manages contractors and services spend. Together, they leave executives unable to answer basic questions about how workforce decisions actually translate into business outcomes.Fragmented planning creates workforce blind spotsEach function has its own systems, its own planning cadence, and its own assumptions about how work gets done. Recent SAP research found that 62% of C-suite executives are dissatisfied with their current level of integration between people and business performance data. The same research found that while 50% of organizations are planning for AI’s impact on productivity and capacity, only 21% are planning for AI’s impact on job design and organizational structure.

Tim Cook’s legacy isn’t just phones, it’s politics
As much as any Apple product released during his time as CEO, Tim Cook's tenure will be remembered for its ruthlessly efficient tight-rope walk between an autocrat in China and a would-be autocrat in the US. During his 15 years as CEO, Cook steered Apple through relations with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, including escalating conflicts between the two.

And when Trump launched a trade war against China, Cook managed to soften … Read the full story at The Verge.
