Brief

local.ai, still in early access (announced 2026-07-17 by Alex Ocheema), is already generating sales of NVIDIA DGX Sparks thanks to a credited partnership with NVIDIA. Ocheema says NVIDIA’s support was essential to shipping local.ai. The project provides independent Local AI benchmarks across models, quantizations, harnesses, settings, and hardware, and was amplified by 0xSero.
