- Microsoft Vice President Scott Hanselman released gputaskman; he is also a Member of Technical Staff.
- The app provides detailed GPU-use readings for individual models and processes, rather than only an overall figure.
- It shows whether LLMs, browsers, desktop compositors, or renderers are using GPU memory.
- GitHub offers a portable download of the app that requires no installation.
“Task Manager says ‘15 GB used.’ This tries to answer: by what? Model weights? KV cache? Your browser? The desktop compositor? And why is so much GPU memory in system RAM?”— Scott Hanselman, Microsoft engineer and creator of gputaskman, describing the questions the app aims to answer about GPU memory usage.

- The previously unannounced Intelligent Carveout feature was discovered in the Experimental channel of build 29648.1000 from August 17, with Windows Latest reporting the find and phantomofearth confirming it.
- The switch, apparently located under Settings > System > Advanced, currently appears to offer five fixed options: Custom, Recommended, High, Maximum, and Don't allow.
- Unlike dynamically used Shared GPU Memory, Intelligent Carveout is intended to reserve a fixed portion of shared memory for graphics and AI, leaving it unavailable to other programs afterward.
- The report identifies notebooks and mini-PCs with Nvidia RTX Spark or AMD Ryzen AI Max as possible initial systems, while the feature could still be changed or abandoned before release.
