Windows Project Zenith runs 30B models locally

Microsoft introduced Project Zenith, a ready-to-code Windows experience for developer-class PCs that runs 30B-plus parameter models locally and without metered cloud tokens. The first devices target AMD Ryzen AI Halo and ship with at least 64 GB of unified memory and 250 GB/s of memory bandwidth, with more OEM and silicon partners planned in coming months. That moves local agent work from a hobbyist setup to a hardware SKU, so teams evaluating Unsloth’s local-agent pilot should price developer PCs against recurring API spend before standardizing on cloud-only coding workflows.
