Love the detailed tear down. How do you find this compares to something like Claude cowork? They seem pretty similar with the obvious difference being around model swapping
The model swap underneath you is the part most people miss. You build a workflow on Opus 4.7’s quirks, the default flips to GPT-5.5, and your “prompt that worked” quietly stops working. For non-devs that’s brutal, because nothing tells you the brain changed. Pin the model, not just the workflow.

Thank you for reading Luke! Like you said, similar in many ways. But computer is faster, smoother and more expensive.

It's the table at the end that gave me the context I needed, and where Perplexity Computer sits apart from other products in the space, Karo.
Thanks for writing this one!
