NVIDIA Unveils Next-Generation DGX Personal AI Supercomputers
NVIDIA has officially launched DGX personal AI supercomputers, powered by the advanced NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform. The new AI supercomputers, such as the DGX Spark and DGX Station, are aimed at delivering the vast computational power previously reserved for data centers directly to desktops, giving AI developers, researchers, data scientists, and students the tools needed to prototype, optimize, and perform inference on large AI models.
The new DGX Spark, formerly called Project DIGITS, and the DGX Station are a major step ahead in AI supercomputing. These desktop systems utilize the groundbreaking Grace Blackwell architecture, previously limited to massive data centers and now accessible for daily use on desktop systems.
Built with top global system builders such as ASUS, Dell, HP Inc., and Lenovo, both systems will democratize AI development by allowing users to execute models locally or deploy them on NVIDIA's DGX Cloud.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, stated that AI has transformed every layer of the computing stack, suggesting that a new class of computers was bound to emerge, specifically designed for AI-native developers and AI-native applications. He further added that with the new DGX personal AI computers, AI could extend from cloud services to desktop and edge applications.
DGX Spark: The World’s Smallest AI Supercomputer
The DGX Spark, recognized as the smallest AI supercomputer in the world, and powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, includes an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, fifth-generation Tensor Cores, and FP4 support, allowing for up to 1,000 trillion operations per second to fine-tune and infer complex AI models.
NVIDIA’s NVLink-C2C enhances the GB10 architecture, offering five times the bandwidth of PCIe for efficient CPU-GPU data transfer in memory-intensive AI tasks. DGX Spark users can easily transition models from desktops to the cloud or data centers with minimal code changes.
