StudioPerplexity Decider for Mac runs pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 fully locally
Original title: You can now run the Perplexity Decision Model fully locally on your Mac, without any data leaving your machine. Run pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 on your Mac from the menu bar
Perplexity released Decider for Mac, which runs the 4B decision model pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 locally on Apple silicon Macs and serves the Decisions API at http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/decisions, keeping data on the machine with no API key or usage bill. The model handles text and images, uses the same request format as the hosted API, and switching to hosted requires only a URL change plus an Authorization header; the local weights are a q8_0 GGUF build, requiring M1 or later, macOS 13+, 16 GB of memory, and about 6 GB of disk space.
The docs give full requirements, request format, and migration path, so readers can judge whether sensitive classification can stay fully on-device.
