The push comes from CTO Denis Yarats, who told engineers they should "stop looking at code" by year's end. No public launch has been confirmed, but the move signals Perplexity's ambition to compete in the lucrative AI coding market against Cursor, Anthropic, and OpenAI. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
