Local LLMs & Hardware

Throughput per GPU was the number that mattered in AI infrastructure for most of 2024 and 2025. It has quietly stopped being the number that matters. On September 16, Emerald…

NVIDIA will sell a 64GB DGX Spark starting October 23, 2026, through Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI, from $4,999. It carries half the unified memory of the 128GB…

NVIDIA's RTX Spark PCs start reaching store shelves this month, and Microsoft is putting the spotlight on them at a joint Windows and Surface event in San Francisco on October…

As Large Language Models (LLMs) transition from massive, monolithic research curiosities to integrated components of global software infrastructure, the bottleneck has shifted from model parameter count to inference efficiency. In…

One of the biggest questions we get at GenX AI Tools is "what hardware do I need to run AI models locally?" The answer depends entirely on your budget and…

The open-source model landscape in October 2026 is not a list of the biggest models. It is a list of models that fit on hardware you can actually buy, and…
