Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman announced an open‑source project called gputaskman. The utility works on Windows, Linux and macOS and lists each process’s GPU load, VRAM use, active runtimes and AI/LLM workload details. It aims to help users see exactly what’s filling up their graphics memory. The code is hosted on GitHub and accepts pull requests.

Why it matters

Developers and gamers can pinpoint memory‑hungry applications, avoiding crashes or slowdowns caused by hidden GPU usage.
