Microsoft recently updated its documentation, announcing a reduction in the hardware requirements for the Windows 11 local language model API. This allows devices equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series or newer GPUs, with at least 6GB of VRAM, to run the local language model API, even on non-Copilot+ PCs. This move is seen as a significant step in weakening the exclusive advantage of Copilot+ PCs, enabling more mid-to-high-end GPU users to experience localized AI features, enhancing privacy protection and response speed.
