How Exactly Is Perplexity’s “Next-Generation Computer” Built? Aravind Will Break It Down at SGLang Summit Next Week

On November 13 at 1:30 p.m., Perplexity co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas will appear on the main stage at SGLang Summit. His talk is titled “Building the Next Computer.”

According to official information, the talk will take the audience behind the scenes of Perplexity Computer: how to orchestrate multiple models, how to keep long-running agents from going off track, and the infrastructure that supports it all. Aravind will also share his vision for the next step: hybrid local AI.

SGLang Summit is hosted by LMSYS, the developer of the SGLang inference framework. SGLang is known in AI engineering circles for its high performance and ease of use, so this summit naturally focuses on practical topics around model deployment and agent building. Perplexity started with AI search and is now trying to define the “next-generation computer”—a sizable leap. Multi-model orchestration and the stability of long-running agents are widely recognized as hard problems in the industry, and Aravind is willing to break them down publicly, so it’s worth hearing the specifics.

The event page shows that the main-stage talk will be available as a live stream to Expo Pass holders. If you have a question for Aravind, you can leave it under the original tweet.
