ASUS announced the UGen300, a portable device that adds artificial intelligence processing to existing computers. 

It connects via USB-C and lets devices run complex AI models locally, rather than relying on cloud services.

The unit features a Hailo-10H processor and 8GB of dedicated memory, enabling it to handle tasks such as text generation and real-time data analysis without burdening the host computer’s main resources. 

It supports Windows, Linux, Android, and popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.

The device measures 105 x 50 x 18mm and operates at 2.5 watts. 

It is currently available to some professional users, with full Windows software support expected by mid-May 2026.
