NVIDIA Watch posted an update
Nvidia has released Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, part of a family of open-weight models designed to run AI agents on workstations and edge hardware rather than through hosted APIs, Startup Fortune reports.
Why it mattersThe practical pitch is to keep agent tasks and their data closer to the organisation using them. Nvidia argues that local execution can reduce exposure to third-party services and limit the impact of failures. That is a security rationale, not proof that local agents are safe by default. For businesses weighing cloud convenience against tighter control, the release offers another option to assess. The useful details now are how the models perform, what hardware they need and whether local deployment makes agents easier to govern, not merely harder to reach.
Discuss: Would you trust an AI agent more if it ran on your own hardware, or does local deployment shift the security burden without solving it?
