Portable Computer launched August 26, running the orchestrator LLM, subagent LLM, planner, tool router, scheduler and local search index locally, with local work consuming no billing credits and each cloud escalation requiring separate approval (VentureBeat). Launch platform is Nvidia's DGX Spark with GB10 and 128GB unified memory; other Linux machines need an Nvidia RTX GPU with at least 24GB VRAM. Ships with Qwen 3.8 27B and PPLX 27B plus Google Drive, Gmail and GitHub connectors. Linux first for Pro, Max and Enterprise, Windows in September, and macOS is not on the roadmap.
