NVIDIA: RTX Spark PCs in October, plus a local PAIR router
At IFA 2026 NVIDIA said RTX Spark Windows PCs ship in October, with new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n and Yoga 9n 2-in-1 designs and an Acer compact desktop; the superchip is a 1-petaflop RTX Blackwell GPU, up to 128GB of unified memory and a 20-core Grace CPU. NVIDIA also released a free open-source beta of PAIR, a Personal AI Router that spreads inference across idle PCs on a local network (Ollama and LM Studio; Windows, macOS and Linux). New llama.cpp and vLLM optimizations yield up to 1.9× higher local throughput, and Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and Perplexity Portable Computer are getting simpler local setup on NVIDIA hardware — RTX Spark, not Meta's Muse Spark and not xAI's Grok.
