What changed

Nvidia announced Personal AI Router (PAIR), free open-source software that links computers in a home network to handle AI tasks locally. It works with tools such as Ollama and LM Studio and is software, not a physical router.

What this means for you

People with multiple compatible computers can combine their available hardware for local AI work instead of using only one machine. The tool is free and open source, but the feed does not specify supported hardware or other limitations.
