NVIDIA Local AI app running on an RTX Spark laptop

NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops go on sale on October 16, and NVIDIA is spending the days before launch on software rather than more hardware. Starting today, October 13, the company and its partners are shipping new local AI models, agent tools, creative features and gaming updates for the platform, which GP covered when NVIDIA unveiled RTX Spark in June 2026.

New RTX Spark agent apps and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt models

NVIDIA PAIR, the company’s personal AI router, is out of beta. The free, open source tool finds compatible PCs on a local network and spreads AI workloads across them. The full release adds RTX Spark and llama.cpp support, direct downloads from Hugging Face, and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Two other tools land today. Llama for Windows is a free, open source app built on llama.cpp that lets users run open models without touching the command line. NVIDIA also now ships MCP servers for its own applications, including the NVIDIA app, Broadcast, PAIR, RTX Remix and Omniverse, while agent apps such as Hermes, OpenClaw and Perplexity pick up new integrations.

The headline model is Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B A9B, arriving October 15. It is a 74-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 9 billion active parameters that fits inside a 24GB memory footprint, and it runs through llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM and LM Studio. A smaller model, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, follows on October 23 for conversational agents and interactive game characters, and developers can try it inside SkyrimNET, an AI NPC modding platform for Skyrim.

Creator tools: Broadcast 2.3, Adobe, ComfyUI and Blender

NVIDIA Broadcast 2.3 is available now. The release adds an offline file processor for prerecorded content, beta RTX Video Super Resolution and Frame Generation, new Studio Voice profiles, and an MCP server that lets compatible AI agents adjust effects and process files inside the app.

Adobe is optimizing Photoshop, Premiere and Substance 3D for RTX Spark, with NVIDIA claiming up to 2X faster performance across AI, editing, colour and effects workflows. The updates are rolling out in phases. ComfyUI adds RTX Video Frame Generation and RTX Video HDR nodes today, while DLSS Ray Reconstruction arrives in Blender 5.3 in November.

DLSS 5, launch games and the NVIDIA app beta

RTX Spark laptops ship with support for hundreds of PC games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Genshin Impact and NBA 2K27, alongside DLSS, ray tracing, Reflex, G-SYNC and major multiplayer anti-cheat systems.

A faster DLSS 5 model debuts on October 16 in NBA 2K27 Season 2, boosting frame rates by up to 1.4X on RTX 50 Series GPUs, RTX Spark laptops and GeForce NOW. NVIDIA says the 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model is now 10X faster overall than the version it introduced in March. Hogwarts Legacy adds DLSS 5 on November 5, Where Winds Meet gets an update later this year, and RTX Remix adds DLSS 5 support for modders on October 23.

In releases, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign early access opens on October 16 with DLSS 4.5, Crossout Remastered adds DLSS 4.5 on October 22, and Among The Trolls launches on October 14 with DLSS and ray tracing. GP has also reported that Call of Duty’s RTX Spark support is slated for 2027. A new NVIDIA app beta adds Preset C, a faster performance mode for DLSS Frame Generation on RTX 40 Series, RTX 50 Series and RTX Spark laptops.

Philippine pricing and availability for RTX Spark laptops have not been announced. We will update this story when local details are confirmed.
