Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: People building with AI

Two reasons why we integrated Grok 4.5 inside Perplexity Computer within a few hours: 1) It scored the best on our evals and was the most cost effective option 2) ZDR was available from the get go and that’s what our customers want

Perplexity Computer emulates the output of a digital worker because AI uses the computer the same way humans do. Computer in your workspace will emulate the digital output of an entire team or an organization. A macro-computer of sorts.

Perplexity Computer is now available for Enterprise. Computer makes everyone in the company an engineer. Anyone can debug infra, ship PRs, or query data warehouses with natural language. It comes with the same enterprise grade security you get with Perplexity Enterprise.

The remedy that is right in our opinion is not a breakup of Google; but rather offering consumers the choice to pick their defaults on Android without feeling the risk of a loss in revenue. That's what we will be proposing. Read more here: t.co

OEMs feel threatened about any changes here even outside the defaults, because the magnitude of revenue sharing offered to them by Google to preserve the status quo even when better alternatives are available. Eg: Perplexity's Android Assistant is regarded as superior to Gemini.

Perplexity is excited to make a $250,000 grant to Northwestern University's Medill School to support research on how AI will evolve and influence the journalism workflow for research, fact-checking, and understanding worldwide events.
