If you have more than a few devices in your home that you can use for computing tasks, such as phones, laptops, and desktops, then the WiCi One local GPU is a device that was potentially built for you. Just imagine having an RTX 5090 GPU equipped with all of those devices, and that’s exactly what the WiCi One does. It’s a wireless, local GPU that transmits that graphics processing power across your local Wi-Fi network to devices connected to it.
So that mid-tier laptop that only has integrated graphics is now has the graphics processing power of an RTX 5090. All because that wireless GPU is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This works in a similar fashion to NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW service, though it’s not just limited to cloud gaming like GeForce NOW is, and the GPU and all the tasks it’s powering are all run on your local network, not on a server somewhere else where you have no control over it. WiCi is also very keen on making it clear that this isn’t remote play, but a wireless GPU, with no cloud involved in between the GPU and your rig.
The WiCi One wireless local GPU is capable of handling local AI compute as well as high-end games and apps
If running local AI is a concern then the WiCi One is there to address that concern. WiCi says that it’s capable of enabling chat on “trillion-parameter open-weight models through Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible client.
In addition to local AI, the WiCi One is capable of running resource-intensive apps as well. Imagine having the capability to run apps like Blender, Maya, and AutoCAD on any computer in the home. Then when you’re done with that work and want to relax and enjoy some entertainment, you could play the latest, most demanding games at high frame rates with high graphics settings, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Crimson Desert, and others that require a lot of GPU power to run at high settings.
The WiCi One comes in two configurations: This includes an RTX 5060 Ti model, and then an RTX 5090 model. The early signup price for the RTX 5060 Ti Edition is $1,999, but the regular price is going to be $2,599. The RTX 5090 Edition doesn’t have a price yet, but WiCi says there should be one closer to launch.
