In 2025, AI development on PC saw significant improvements, with small language models (SLMs) on PC achieving nearly 2x better accuracy than in 2024. Popular AI PC developer tools like Ollama and ComfyUI have matured, leading to a tenfold increase in users downloading PC-class models.

NVIDIA announced AI upgrades for GeForce RTX, NVIDIA RTX PRO, and NVIDIA DGX Spark devices at CES. These upgrades include up to 3x performance and 60% reduction in VRAM for video and image generative AI, RTX Video Super Resolution integration, and faster inference performance for SLMs via Ollama and llama.cpp.

NVIDIA introduced an RTX-powered video generation pipeline that enables faster and more accurate video creation, upscaling videos to 4K using a fraction of the VRAM. The pipeline includes a 3D object generator, a 3D-guided image generator, and a video generator, all powered by the LTX-2 model from Lightricks.

Nexa.ai unveiled Hyperlink, a new way to search PC files and videos using natural language queries with RTX-accelerated indexing technology. This local search agent can scan and index documents, slides, PDFs, images, and now videos, providing users with a more efficient and secure search experience on their RTX PCs.

NVIDIA and the open-source community collaborated to enhance small language models (SLMs) on RTX GPUs and NVIDIA DGX Spark supercomputers. Performance improvements of 35% for llama.cpp and 30% for Ollama have been achieved, benefiting mixture-of-experts models like the NVIDIA Nemotron 3 family of open models.

NVIDIA Broadcast version 2.1 introduces updates to the Virtual Key Light effect, improving performance and color temperature control for RTX 3060 desktop GPUs and higher. This app enhances PC microphone and webcam quality with AI effects, making it ideal for livestreaming and video conferencing purposes.

DGX Spark, a compact AI supercomputer designed for local AI experimentation and prototyping, received major performance updates at CES. Spark now offers up to 2.6x faster performance, making it an ideal companion for developing advanced AI workflows alongside a primary PC setup. New DGX Spark playbooks are also available for different AI tasks.
