Nvidia and Perplexity Are Putting Perplexity on DGX Spark Locally, Apparently on a Post-Trained Qwen Called PPXL 27B

A CNBC segment shared to r/LocalLLaMA covers an Nvidia and Perplexity partnership to run Perplexity locally on DGX Spark. The thread's obvious objection is that Perplexity has no frontier models of its own, so this is open-weight models on Spark with extra steps; a commenter counters that Perplexity ships a post-trained Qwen variant called PPXL 27B and allows other models, meaning the differentiation is the harness rather than the weights. Low upvote count (20) and secondary sourcing, so treat the PPXL 27B detail as unconfirmed.
