On September 4, 2026, Nvidia released the Personal AI Router (PAIR) software in an open-source beta version. This tool aims to organize idle computers within a home or office local area network into a private AI cluster for local inference tasks. PAIR is built on Ollama and LM Studio, with the ability to automatically discover and schedule compatible devices, and it supports distributing AI requests to idle computers for processing. Compatible devices include Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 series and above, RTX Pro, DGX Spark series, as well as Mac devices with Apple M4 and later chips.
