Microsoft’s Project Zenith puts large AI models directly on developer PCs

Microsoft's Project Zenith is a ready-to-code Windows 11 experience for developer-class PCs capable of running AI models with more than 30 billion parameters locally without relying on metered cloud tokens. Designed for systems with at least 64 GB of unified memory and 250 GB/s or more of memory bandwidth, it pairs powerful hardware with a preconfigured software environment for coding, testing, and experimentation. The first Project Zenith systems will be powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors.
