NVIDIA is reportedly in discussions to invest in Perplexity AI as part of a new funding round valuing the startup at $30 billion or more. Perplexity's 12-month revenue has surged from ~$250M at year-start to over $750M, driven by growth in its Perplexity Computer service. While the mega-valuation reflects AI hype, the revenue acceleration suggests genuine traction in AI-powered search/assistant tools—relevant for Thai tech ecosystems exploring AI adoption and vendor partnerships.
