Perplexity is partnering with UK sovereign infrastructure company Valarian to run Perplexity Computer inside institutions' own servers, including air-gapped networks isolated from the live web. The move targets regulated industries such as finance, government and defense that need to control where AI runs, what it can access and what it is allowed to do. Valarian's ACRA platform runs Computer on infrastructure the institution controls and enforces access and network policies, organizing workloads into "enclaves" with defined access to data, tools, users and credentials. Institutions can run open-weight models including Nemotron, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek-R1 and Qwen on their own hardware, and different workloads can hold different permissions, so a legal agent could work with a local model and assigned case files while external connections are blocked. Air-gapped deployments use only the models, tools and information inside the isolated network, with no live connections to external model APIs or the public web. Deployments are available starting today, and Perplexity says organizations can email sovereignai@perplexity.ai to discuss one.
