…It's still early days, but RapidRAW also outshines Adobe's suite with AI-powered inpainting options. I can use the built-in local AI tool without configuration for intelligent subject masking…
…Initially, I went with the CUDA instance of the tool, as it’s supposedly the best option for GPU accelerated tasks on Team Green cards. Unfortunately, attempting to install the CUDA toolkit…
…But I occasionally need to work with AI-accelerated workloads on my dev VM. Since I’ve already enabled GPU passthrough long ago (which is a lot easier than you think), I…
…constrained hardware, but not because Quality mode isn't desirable. Rather, it's largely attributed to the fact that the performance overhead of running an INT8 model without dedicated FP8 acceleration may…
…It also helped me enable hardware acceleration, which tells the computer to use its graphics card to make the video run smoother. The most helpful part wasn’t just the code, but…
…Gemini for Home is backed by Google’s AI research and server hardware. Yet, it still gets outpaced in its own arena by community-nurtured open-weight models running on consumer hardware…
…Want to stay in the loop with the latest in AI? The XDA AI Insider newsletter drops weekly with deep dives, tool recommendations, and hands-on coverage you won't find anywhere…

…AI-powered voice assistant pipeline If you’re a Home Assistant aficionado, you’ve probably spotted the assistants section hidden deep within its web UI. But unless you’ve got dedicated hardware…
…Software encoding wasn’t enough; I had to use hardware acceleration (VAAPI). It transcoded and streamed simultaneously, and the CPU usage would peak at 90%+ for a 1080p video. Accessing it remotely…
