NVIDIA’s local AI push brings more work onto your own computer. Here’s what changes.

At GTC Berlin, NVIDIA laid out a range of computers and software for running AI closer to the people using it, from Windows laptops to team-scale workstations. The appealing idea is more control over where data goes and how AI tools work. The test is whether local AI becomes useful and manageable beyond a premium-hardware demo.
