NVIDIA announced at GTC the launch of its new personal AI supercomputers, DGX Spark and DGX Station, designed to put the power of advanced AI directly into the hands of developers, researchers, data scientists, and students. Both systems are powered by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform and will be available through leading manufacturers like ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo.
Artificial Intelligence, Now Also from Your Desktop
The DGX Spark, formerly known as Project DIGITS, is touted as the smallest AI supercomputer in the world. This device will enable millions of professionals and students to work with generative AI and physics models locally, without solely relying on the cloud. The system is equipped with the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, which includes fifth-generation Tensor cores and FP4 support, achieving up to 1,000 trillion operations per second for fine-tuning and inference processes with the most advanced AI models.
Thanks to NVLink-C2C technology, this superchip offers a coherent CPU+GPU memory model with a bandwidth five times greater than that of fifth-generation PCIe, thus optimizing performance for memory-intensive workloads.
DGX Station: Data Center Performance in a Desktop Format
On the other hand, the DGX Station incorporates the new NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra superchip, offering a coherent memory space of 784 GB, ideal for large-scale training and inference. This system also integrates the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC network card, capable of reaching up to 800 Gb/s, allowing multiple DGX stations to connect and manage large data transfers for advanced AI workloads.
DGX Station combines all of this with the NVIDIA CUDA-X AI platform and provides access to the NVIDIA NIM™ microservices included in the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite, facilitating the deployment of inference models with specialized support.
Cloud Integration and Availability
Users will be able to easily move their models from these devices to the DGX Cloud platform or any cloud infrastructure or data center without major changes to the code.
Reservations for the DGX Spark systems are now open through NVIDIA’s official website. Meanwhile, the DGX Station will be available throughout the year from manufacturers like ASUS, BOXX, Dell, HP, Lambda, and Supermicro.
This move reaffirms NVIDIA’s goal to democratize access to large-scale AI computing, enabling innovation and development of advanced models to also take place from desktop environments, without solely depending on remote infrastructures.
