Nvidia launched the Nvidia Personal AI Router (PAIR), an open-source software router for home networks that allows users to use idle Macs and PCs to run small AI models on demand. [^2]

PAIR routes AI inference tasks among the discovered idle PCs to optimize performance. [^3]

The PAIR tool is designed to automatically discover idle personal computers on a user's home network. [^4]

Nvidia demonstrated that using PAIR with two PCs running high-end RTX 5090 GPUs and the Qwen3.6 35B A3B model sped up work with five subagents by about 1.6x. [^5]

PAIR is designed to speed up AI agents like NemoClaw, OpenClaw, and Hermes by allowing them to use more subagents in parallel across different machines. [^6]

PAIR supports Windows, macOS, and Linux machines equipped with compatible GPUs, specifically Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs or newer, Macs with M4 silicon or newer, and Nvidia DGX Spark systems. [^7]

The PAIR tool is available as free and open-source software. [^8]
