  "account": "At IFA 2026, NVIDIA, Microsoft and their partners unveiled plans to bring AI closer to users by making it easier to run locally on NVIDIA hardware. Local AI support for NVIDIA GPUs will soon be simplified in Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and Perplexity Portable Computer. Inference speeds could improve up to 1.9x with new llama.cpp and vLLM optimizations. NVIDIA PAIR, a Personal AI Router tool, will intelligently distribute AI inference across users' local networks. New RTX Spark Windows PCs from Lenovo and Acer will arrive in October, featuring game publishers and developers such as Electronic Arts, Embark and Ubisoft. Meanwhile, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, a 30-billion parameter model, has been launched and can run on NVIDIA RTX PCs, RTX PRO Workstations, DGX Spark and Jetson. Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash and Meta's Muse Glimmer are also multimodal mixture-of-experts (MoE) models that can run locally on NVIDIA GPUs. Optimized FastVideo recipes for NVIDIA RTX GPUs and DGX Spark are expected soon, improving generation performance by up to 7x.",
