Announced at GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA OpenShell brings secure agents to Windows with 2x inference performance on llama.cpp — plus, Adobe rebuilds its apps with performance and memory enhancements, and Blender adds NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction for NVIDIA RTX Spark.
Personal agents are exploding in popularity, with open source projects like OpenClaw and Hermes seeing rapid adoption by AI developer communities on GitHub. Built to adapt to individual preferences and workflows, these agents can interact with applications, generate content, automate repetitive processes and manage multi-step tasks — all while running locally on device.
Today at NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA unveiled NVIDIA RTX Spark — a new class of Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agents — alongside a wave of updates that expand local agents across the broader NVIDIA RTX and DGX ecosystems.
Running agents securely and privately requires hardware that’s up to the task. RTX Spark’s 1 petaflop of AI compute and 128GB of unified memory can meet the computing demand of on-device agents, offering a new class of computer that goes from tool to teammate. Designed for AI, creating and gaming, RTX Spark brings NVIDIA’s 30 years of technology innovation to slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and ultraefficient desktop PCs.
NVIDIA’s partnership with Windows scales from personal to enterprise solutions. Also introduced at the show was NVIDIA DGX Station for Windows, the ultimate AI deskside supercomputer for professionals, bringing a data-center-class GPU and CPU for inference in a desktop system equipped with Windows for manageability, security and compatibility.
Broad agent adoption has been limited by the inability to run agents securely and privately on users’ primary PCs.
NVIDIA and Microsoft are partnering to address this challenge by delivering a robust, secure Windows platform for on-device agents.
