PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Nvidia is entering Windows PCs as a full platform player, bringing unified memory and CUDA into laptops and directly taking on Apple Silicon. Running large models locally no longer depends on the cloud, and WorkBuddy's zero-cost invocation is a signal: competition in AI PCs is shifting from hardware specs to software ecosystem integration, bringing users one step closer to true quota freedom.
