NVIDIA and Microsoft team up to bring secure on-device AI agents to Windows PCs

NVIDIA and Microsoft are building a secure Windows platform to power on-device AI agents, marking a major shift in how personal computing will evolve in the AI era. NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, described the new platform as the end of 40 years of traditional computing in how users interact with PCs.

At NVIDIA GTC Taipei, Team Green unveiled RTX Spark, a new superchip designed to transform Windows PCs into AI teammates. RTX Spark combines 30 years of NVIDIA innovation with the latest in AI and gaming, offering a new class of PC that can run complex AI agents locally and also jump into the latest AAA games, achieving frame rates that the average gamer would be fairly happy with.

The collaboration between Microsoft and NVIDIA extends beyond hardware. Microsoft and NVIDIA are accelerating the development of agentic AI from the cloud to the PC, and that, at its core, is the intention behind RTX Spark.

While this is somewhat separate, at Microsoft Build 2025, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Discovery, a platform designed to empower researchers with AI-powered tools, specifically AI agents. The idea was to give R&D teams a system that lets multiple specialized AI agents work together across the discovery process: reviewing knowledge, generating hypotheses, running simulations, analyzing results, and feeding those results back into the next experiment cycle.

Microsoft aimed this at the enterprise level, but now, through the new partnership with NVIDIA and the inception of RTX Spark, that same agentic process is coming to the consumer level, but with even more capabilities, such as running models completely locally.

"We are strong supporters of deploying agents like OpenClaw securely into the Windows ecosystem," said Vincent Koc, chief architect at the OpenClaw Foundation. "Running solutions like OpenShell and the Microsoft security primitives on RTX Spark will enable users to leverage a fully integrated stack for private, personal agents running on device."
