Nvidia's free PAIR tool turns idle home PCs into a personal AI inference network
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-09-04
Nvidia announced PAIR (Personal AI Router), a free open-source tool — not a hardware router — that discovers compatible PCs on a home network and links them for local AI inference with tools like Ollama and LM Studio. It supports GeForce RTX 20-series and newer, RTX Pro GPUs, DGX Spark systems, and Apple M4 or newer chips, tapping idle household compute for parallel agentic workflows.
