100B-Parameter Models in a Laptop: Unified Memory Becomes the New Arms Race as On-Device AI Bottleneck Shifts from Compute to Capacity
Lenovo and Nvidia unveiled the Yoga Pro 9n at IFA 2026 in Berlin—a mass-production laptop capable of running a 100-billion-parameter large language model locally. With up to 128GB of unified memory, RTX Spark specifications support models with 120 billion parameters and a 1-million-token context. Apple is also doubling down on unified memory and cluster interconnect. As CPUs and GPUs share one memory pool, the on-device AI bottleneck is shifting from “Is there enough compute?” to “Can the...
