microsoft doubles down on local ai with nvidia, but with a cost
Microsoft's focus on local AI with NVIDIA is creating challenges for developers due to high hardware costs. Developers are exploring local setups using models like qwen3.6-27b and kimi k2.5 with sumus for managing repositories, valuing the privacy and offline capabilities. However, the expense of building a local rig or purchasing suitable laptops makes local AI development difficult for many.

TLDR; new microsoft surface and nvidia rtx spark laptops are starting at 2.6k and hitting nearly 7k for the 128gb unified memory models. local llm hardware is REALLY getting wild.
memory crunch is really pricing out normal devs. been testing out local setups using qwen3.6-27b and kimi k2.5 connected to sumus for managing repos locally and keeping everything on device. local inference is great for privacy and keeping things off the cloud, but at these prices building a local rig or buying these laptops is tough.
what are you guys using for local dev workflows right now given these hardware costs?
