NVIDIA PAIR lets independent AI requests use spare capacity on other computers in a local network. Its technical explanation describes a router that checks which machines have the required model and can accept work, then sends each request to one eligible machine. That machine executes the entire request.
The benefit is parallel work: several AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → requests can proceed on different computers instead of waiting for one busy GPU. Each participating machine still runs its own model-serving software. PAIR distributes jobs rather than combining several machines' memory to run one oversized model.
