2025 marked a breakout year for AI development on PC. PC-class small language models (SLMs) improved accuracy by nearly 2x over 2024, dramatically closing the gap with frontier cloud-based large language models (LLMs). AI PC developer tools including Ollama, ComfyUI, llama.cpp and Unsloth have matured, their popularity has doubled year over year and the number

Large language model (LLM)-based AI assistants are powerful productivity tools, but without the right context and information, they can struggle to provide nuanced, relevant answers. While most LLM-based chat apps allow users to supply a few files for context, they often don’t have access to all the information buried across slides, notes, PDFs and images

Many users want to run large language models (LLMs) locally for more privacy and control, but until recently, this meant a trade-off in output quality. Newly released open-weight models, like OpenAI’s gpt-oss and Alibaba’s Qwen 3, can run directly on PCs, delivering useful high-quality outputs, especially for local agentic AI. This opens up new opportunities

3D artists are constantly prototyping. In traditional workflows, modelers must build placeholder, low-fidelity assets to populate 3D scenes, tinkering and adjusting the core elements until they’re in place. From there, visuals can be refined, detailed and finalized. Prototyping is time consuming and often comprises throwaway work, forcing artists to spend time on tedious modeling rather
