ProArt RTX Spark PCs provide the memory capacity to run powerful\nmodels locally, enabling Hermes to drive ComfyUI and MuseTree, work with your\nfiles, and keep these workflows on your own machine,” said Dillon Rolnick,\nCEO of Nous Research.\n\n\"Creators want to run the best AI models on their own machines, with full\ncontrol. ProArt RTX Spark PCs have the memory to run big image and video\nworkflows locally, and ComfyUI makes those workflows easy to share, reuse and\nhand off to agents like Hermes,\" said Yoland Yan, CEO and co-founder of Comfy.\n\n \n\nA new class of personal Windows PCs powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark\n\nProArt P16 and P14 bring advanced local AI computing to slim creator laptops.\nNVIDIA RTX Spark combines an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU, an NVIDIA Grace CPU,\nfifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 support, and NVIDIA NVLink-C2C\ninterconnect technology in a highly integrated, power-efficient platform.\n\nWith up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and up to 128GB of high-bandwidth\nunified memory, RTX Spark enables demanding workloads that can exceed the\nmemory capacity of conventional PCs. Depending on model architecture,\nquantization, context length, and available system memory, users can work with\nlarge local language and vision-language models, advanced image and video\ngeneration pipelines, LoRA customization, agentic workflows, and complex 3D\nscenes directly on their ProArt laptop.\n\nOwning local AI capacity provides three fundamental advantages. First, it\nturns variable pay-per-use cloud spending into predictable computing capacity,\nallowing users to iterate, regenerate, and experiment without per-token or\nper-generation charges. For users running demanding AI-agent workloads every\nday, the ongoing token costs of cloud services may exceed the cost of a ProArt\nRTX Spark-powered PC within as little as five to ten months(1), making local\nAI an attractive option both financially and operationally. Second, it helps\nprotect privacy and creative intellectual property by keeping prompts, source\nfiles, project data, and selected models on device, with workflows that can\nremain available offline. Third, it gives creators and developers greater\ncontrol over their tools, enabling them to select models, customize behavior,\nconnect trusted applications, and build repeatable workflows around their own\nneeds.\n\nCloud services remain valuable for frontier-scale models and burst capacity.\nProArt RTX Spark Windows PCs give users the flexibility to choose local, cloud\nor hybrid execution according to performance, privacy, security, cost, and\nworkflow requirements.\n\n \n\nASUS creative ecosystem for agentic AI workflows\n\nNVIDIA RTX Spark brings NVIDIA AI and RTX graphics together to redefine\nWindows PCs for creators, AI developers, and gamers. RTX Spark fundamentally\nchanges what creators and developers can achieve with a new AI computing\nplatform. Backed by the CUDA ecosystem, it supports a rapidly expanding range\nof creator applications, AI models, and development tools that can run locally\nwith RTX acceleration — creating a highly capable environment for generative\nAI, model development, and AI workflow building.\n\nCombined with up to 128GB unified memory, RTX Spark also removes one of the\nbiggest limitations of conventional PCs: memory capacity. Larger AI models,\nhigher-resolution generation, and more complex workflows can now run locally,\nopening a new class of possibilities for creators and AI developers. ASUS\nextends this platform advantage through the layers of its own ecosystem:\n\n·        Local GenAI, built into ProArt: ASUS preloads exclusive\nProArt applications that bring local AI directly into the creative workflow.\nMuseTree integrates two of the best local image models FLUX and WAN for\ntoken-free local generative creation, while StoryCube brings AI-powered scene\nrecognition, media organization, and intelligent asset management to Windows.\n\n·        The best of local and cloud creation: ProArt combines local\nRTX-powered AI with leading cloud creative services, including Adobe Creative\nCloud bundles, giving creators the flexibility to move between local and cloud\nworkflows depending on performance, privacy and creative needs.

Through the dedicated Hermes\nSkill, it connects with ASUS MuseTree to deliver one of the most accessible\nlocal AI image- and video-generation experiences, powered by the popular FLUX\nand Wan models.\n\n·        Zenni Claw, the best ASUS native assistant: ASUS agent for\neveryday AI and productivity that provides deeper integration with ASUS\napplications and devices for daily tasks, content management and product\ncontrol. \n\n·       ComfyUI, the agent-ready workflow builder: ASUS has partnered\nwith ComfyUI, the leading open-source platform for visual AI workflows, used\nby millions of creators worldwide. ComfyUI's validated workflows and resource\npacks make it easy to create AI images and video on ProArt PCs, and its\nagent-ready design lets assistants like Hermes build and run workflows for\nusers. Its global community keeps adding new models and tools, so ProArt users\nalways have the latest in AI.\n\n \n\nProArt P16 & P14 Laptops: Agent-assisted creativity on the move\n\nBuilt around the highly integrated RTX Spark architecture, the ProArt P16 and\nP14 combine advanced AI capability with thin, lightweight CNC-machined\ndesigns. Weighing 3.9lbs. and measuring 0.63 inches thin, ProArt P16 is the\nthinnest 16-inch ProArt laptop to date. ProArt P14 measures 0.63 inches and\nweighs 3.26lbs, making it the lightest ProArt laptop currently available.\nHigh-capacity batteries — up to 99.9Wh for P16 and 90Wh for P14 — support\nextended mobile creative workflows.\n\nBoth laptops feature ASUS Lumina Pro OLED\n(https://www.asus.com/us/content/asus-lumina-oled-laptop/) touchscreen\ndisplays with Delta E<1 color accuracy, up to 1,600-nit peak brightness, 120Hz\nvariable refresh rate, and anti-reflection technology. ProArt P16 supports up\nto a 4K display with NVIDIA G-SYNC, while ProArt P14 offers up to 3K\nresolution.
