Aravind Srinivas shares Perplexity Computer-made explainer videos on chip fabrication and iPhone Duo

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas posted a five-minute video on X on October 22, 2026, explaining how a chip is made.

He says Perplexity Computer wrote and produced it from 13 technical references from ASML, Intel, TSMC, Cadence, SkyWater, and IEEE Spectrum, and argues that AI can now produce a teaching video on any topic without access to experts.

On October 28, 2026, Srinivas said explainer videos are his new favorite way to learn. He quoted an @AskPerplexity post describing a 3:45 Computer-made explainer on the changes Apple and Foxconn made beneath the iPhone Duo's folding screen to build it at scale.
