This isn’t a concept for tomorrow; it’s a shift happening now. Dell Pro AI Studio makes this vision a reality, enabling businesses, developers and IT professionals to harness the full potential of AI directly on their PCs. By moving AI workloads from the cloud to the device, we’re not just optimizing performance, we’re redefining what’s possible for enterprises and innovators everywhere.

Dell Pro AI Studio enhances performance, ensures data privacy, reduces costs and unlocks unparalleled flexibility. Whether you’re a business leader improving workflows, a software developer building AI applications or an IT professional managing advanced deployment, Dell Pro AI Studio is your all-encompassing solution.

The Strategic Impact of On-Device AI

For years, organizations have gone to the cloud to manage their AI workloads. While convenient, it came with trade-offs:

    • Latency: Cloud processing often causes delays that disrupt real-time insights.
    • Data Privacy Risks: Sensitive information must be transmitted and stored externally, increasing vulnerability.
    • Operational Costs: Usage-based pricing inflates expenses, especially at scale.
    • Dependency on Connectivity: AI becomes inaccessible when internet connections fail or are unstable, or inaccessible.

Dell Pro AI Studio addresses these challenges by complementing your AI strategy with on-device capabilities.

What Dell Pro AI Studio Offers

Dell Pro AI Studio equips PCs with cutting-edge capabilities typically reserved for advanced cloud systems. Here’s how it transforms AI development and deployment:

    1. Local AI Performance: Dell Pro AI Studio uses advanced AI processing power of NPUs to deliver real-time inferencing for complex tasks. Whether running large language models, image recognition algorithms or transcription software, your device is your most powerful ally.
    1. Model Governance: IT gets to decide which models are approved, where they run and who can use them in their enterprise environment – protecting IP and enforcing policy.
    1. Secure PC Foundation: To stay protected against modern threats, a secure AI PC foundation is critical for on-device AI. Dell Pro AI Studio commercial AI PCs that we have spent over a decade hardening, helping safeguard data and models from tampering and unauthorized access.
    1. Scalable Lifecycle Management: Integrated with Microsoft Intune, Dell Pro AI Studio simplifies AI model deployment, updates and resource management across entire fleets. This ensures projects stay aligned, efficient and scalable.
    1. Cross-Silicon Compatibility: Running on Qualcomm and Intel Core Ultra chips, delivering 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), Dell Pro AI Studio ensures high performance across diverse workloads. Soon, compatibility will expand to NVIDIA GPUs, AMD NPU platforms and Qualcomm A100 AI cards featuring even greater support for resource-heavy models.

Dell Pro AI Studio paired with the Dell Pro Max Plus with the Qualcomm AI-100 Inferencing Card redefines mobile AI performance as the world’s first mobile workstation with an enterprise-grade discrete NPU. This innovative solution delivers desktop-level AI capabilities while enabling fast local inferencing of large models up to 109B parameters without cloud latency.

    1. Reduced Developer Overhead: Enables enterprises to seamlessly harness the power of the PC assets purchased from Dell without backend engineering – developers don’t need to stand up servers, configure backends, fight with local tooling or manage silicon integration into their applications – it just works.
