Nvidia and Microsoft are working together to get over the major hurdle facing Copilot+ PCs right now.
This story is part of our coverage of Computex, the world's biggest computing conference. When Microsoft announced Copilot + PCs a few weeks back, one question reigned supreme: Why can’t I just run these AI applications on my GPU? At Computex 2024 , Nvidia finally provided an answer.
Recommended Videos With the toolkit, developers can allow apps to run locally on your GPU instead of the NPU. This opens up the door to not only more powerful AI applications, as the AI capabilities of GPUs are generally higher than NPUs, but also the ability to run on PCs that don’t currently fall under the Copilot+ umbrella.
In addition to running on the GPU, the new API adds retrieval-augmented generation capabilities to the Copilot runtime. RAG gives the AI model access to specific information locally, allowing it to provide more helpful solutions. We saw RAG on full display with Nvidia’s Chat with RTX earlier this year.
