Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said it’s clear Apple is incapable of producing its own AI in-house, despite a company culture that strives to build superior products internally. In recent days, some of Apple’s top AI talent has also been poached by increasingly aggressive AI talent recruiter Meta, Bloomberg reported.

Perplexity’s Max plan with unlimited Labs, early access to features like Comet, top AI models, and priority support for power users.

Perplexity AI is slowly growing its ad business. Its main ad product is 'sponsored follow-up questions,' and it recently introduced a perks program.

Perplexity.ai has launched its own Comet browser to take on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and their respective search engines. But Comet is enormously expensive, and in tests, didn't always work.

Perplexity AI, the fast-rising search startup backed by Jeff Bezos, Nvidia and SoftBank, just launched its first web browser. Dubbed Comet, this AI-powered browser is designed to challenge Google Chrome ’s dominance, which still commands over 68% of the global browser market.

OpenAI's browser is said to use AI to rethink how users browse the web, keeping some user interactions inside ChatGPT instead of linking out to websites.

If Apple is going to be a major player in artificial intelligence, it needs to acquire AI search engine Perplexity, an analyst says.

Wedbush said Perplexity is the "no brainer" deal to help launch Apple's ( NASDAQ: AAPL) AI strategy. The firm has an Outperform rating and $270 price target on Apple's stock.
