a few open source contributions from perplexity recently: •pplx-decider-v1-27b: SoTA multimodal decision model. 85.7% average across 11 benchmarks, ahead of Jev. •pplx-embed-v2-context-9b-preview: SoTA contextual embeddings, best on ConTEB and turbopuffer context-bench. •Lily: local inference engine for Apple silicon. rust plus custom metal kernels, no pytorch or mlx. 1.23x faster prefill and 1.35x faster decode than MLX-LM on an M5 Max •PII-Tracer: 0.6B on-device PII classifier that decides…
