About this tag
The on-device tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about artificial intelligence and machine learning models that run locally on a user's hardware rather than relying on cloud servers. Recent threads highlight Microsoft's Fara-7B, a 7-billion-parameter agentic small language model designed to see webpages and control a PC by predicting mouse and keyboard actions, available as an open-weight research artifact. Other topics include Duck.ai's provision of large open-weight models like gpt-oss 120B for private, anonymous use on Windows, and Windows 11 updates that integrate on-device AI into features like the Start menu, Notepad, and Paint. The tag emphasizes privacy, local processing, and practical experimentation with AI on personal computers.
