SECURITY FROM CHIP TO CLOUD

Surface RTX Spark Dev Box is a Windows 11 secured-core PC that works with BitLocker, Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, and Intune to help keep sensitive workloads secure.

REDUCE AI DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Run inference and experimentation locally to reduce per-token API costs and cloud compute fees while iterating faster.

Windows ML with the TensorRT-RTX Execution Provider optimizes GPU performance for BYOM workloads on Surface RTX Spark Dev Box.

Powerful local models like Aion 1.0 Instruct enable text intelligence and agent tool calling directly on the device.

Run coding models up to 120B parameters locally. Intelligent routing in GitHub Copilot can offload up to 20% of workloads using MAI-1-Code-Flash and Nemotron-3-Super.
