Build Personal AI Agents on Windows PCs with New Tools from Microsoft and NVIDIA | NVIDIA Technical BlogWith agents running 24 hours a day, seven days a week on increasingly complex tasks, efficient local compute matters even more. NVIDIA has collaborated with the open source community to enhance the top inference backends for agents, llama.cpp and vLLM. llama.cpp now delivers 2x performance on Qwen 3.5 and 3.6 27B dense models, and 1.6x performance on Qwen 3.5 and 3.6 35B mixture-of-expert (MoE) models. The following two techniques make this possible: Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): An advanced speculative decoding technique, where a smaller draft model proposes several tokens ahead that the targ
