Nvidia Unveils RTX Spark for Local AI Agents on PCs

Nvidia unveils RTX Spark chip for local AI on Windows PCs.

Nvidia has introduced RTX Spark, a chip designed for Windows PCs, focusing on running AI agents and large language models locally. The project was developed in collaboration with Microsoft over approximately three years.

The company positions RTX Spark as the foundation for personal AI systems operating directly on the computer without mandatory cloud access.

The declared performance is up to 1 petaflop of computing power and up to 128 GB of unified memory. Nvidia anticipates that users will be able to run agent-based and generative models directly on their PCs.

The chip is built on the Blackwell RTX GPU with 6144 CUDA cores and a 20-core Grace processor. MediaTek participated in the CPU’s development. The platform is targeted at Windows 11 and scenarios involving AI agents, content creation, and gaming.

Microsoft Joins the Agent-Based Windows Initiative

Nvidia and Microsoft have announced a joint effort to develop infrastructure for agent-based systems within Windows.

The release mentions new security mechanisms and the NVIDIA OpenShell platform for running agents on user devices. This involves preparing Windows for such scenarios rather than a full transition of the OS to an agent-based model.

Microsoft is already advancing in this area through Copilot and enterprise products, where assistants automate workflows.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described this as a shift from “PC as a tool” to “PC as an assistant.” Essentially, this marks the launch of a new hardware platform for local AI.

Adobe Optimizes Photoshop and Premiere

Adobe is adapting Photoshop and Premiere for RTX Spark. Nvidia has claimed a twofold increase in AI and graphics performance on the new platform. Independent confirmations of these figures are not available.

In May, Adobe added an on-device model for the Remove tool in Photoshop 27.7, allowing objects to be removed without sending data to the cloud. Users can choose between local and cloud processing.

For Premiere, the company introduced AI features, including Object Mask, but has not announced a complete transition of the video editor to local AI.

Release Set for Fall 2026

The first PCs based on RTX Spark will be released in fall 2026. Partners include ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI. Acer and GIGABYTE will join later.

Nvidia is strengthening its focus on the AI-PC segment, where AI agents, data analysis, and content generation are performed locally without constant cloud dependency.

Back in March, the company announced the launch of infrastructure for creating data centers in space.
