Perplexity and NVIDIA unveiled Portable Computer, a system capable of running autonomous software agents locally on a personal machine. The solution eliminates usage fees tied to cloud processing by handling computations on local hardware.

Shoehorn is a command-line tool that shrinks open-source language models to match the exact amount of free memory on a graphics card. Once resized, the application automatically launches the model locally using llama.cpp.

A newly optimized variant of the Qwen3.8-27B artificial intelligence model makes it possible to process code prompts locally. By using memory compression methods from Unsloth, the tool runs directly on personal computers without requiring external cloud servers or API payments.
