Jakarta, INTI - Nvidia has launched its latest chip, the RTX Spark, which enables artificial intelligence (AI) to run directly on laptops and desktop computers without relying entirely on cloud computing services.
Reuters reported that Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, announced the chip at Computex 2026 in Taiwan. According to Huang, the RTX Spark is the result of a three-year collaboration between Nvidia and Microsoft to usher in a new era of AI-based computing.
The RTX Spark is designed to allow AI agents to run locally on a user's device. With this technology, various AI-based tasks can be processed directly on the computer without constantly sending data to a data center or cloud service.
New Transformation in the Tech Industry
Analyst and founder of Counterpoint Research, Neil Shah, believes the RTX Spark has the potential to change the way people use personal computers. He said the arrival of the RTX Spark could be a pivotal moment for the personal computing industry, just as the iPhone and ChatGPT once transformed the technology industry.
In addition to the RTX Spark, Nvidia also introduced its latest processor, the Vera CPU, specifically designed to run next-generation AI agents.
In his presentation, Huang emphasized that the technology industry is now moving towards the era of agentic AI: AI systems capable of operating autonomously without constant user instruction.
This view aligns with the statement of Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, who called 2026 the year of agentic AI. According to Amon, current computer devices are still designed to execute commands given by humans. However, in the future, AI will be able to take actions and perform tasks autonomously, which requires much more powerful local computing capabilities.
Conclusion
Nvidia launched the RTX Spark, which allows AI to run directly on laptops and desktop computers. Introduced by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at Computex 2026, the chip is the result of a three-year collaboration with Microsoft and is designed to process AI tasks locally on users' devices. Nvidia also introduced the Vera CPU to support the next generation of AI agents. This launch reflects the industry's shift toward agentic AI, where AI systems can work more autonomously.
