Summary
At a Microsoft event in San Francisco, NVIDIA and Microsoft said they are co-engineering hardware and software for AI agents that run safely on Windows PCs. Microsoft made its Execution Containers (MXC) generally available, OS-level infrastructure that lets agents run persistently in the background under operating system control, while NVIDIA introduced RTX Spark laptops with up to 128GB of unified memory (preorders open, shipping October 16). The focus is running large models directly on the PC without the cloud, and the companies also previewed DGX Station for Windows, a deskside supercomputer for trillion-parameter-scale models locally.
Why it matters for our work
A local AI environment where agents stay resident on standard work PCs could speed adoption in companies and research labs that cannot send data externally. Performance figures are the companies' own claims.
