Perplexity releases Decider for Mac, which runs its 4B decision model locally

Perplexity says you can now run pplx-decider-flash-v1.2 on your Mac without an API key. Decider for Mac is an app that runs the 4B decision model on the device: you ask a question about text or an image and get a probability back, all on your machine.

According to Perplexity's description, the app serves the Decisions API locally at 127.0.0.1. The model is about 5.8 GB and needs 16 GB of RAM.
