Nvidia publicizes DGX desktop “private AI supercomputers”

Throughout Tuesday’s Nvidia GTX keynote, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled two “private AI supercomputers” referred to as DGX Spark and DGX Station, each powered by the Grace Blackwell platform. In a method, they’re a brand new kind of AI PC structure particularly constructed for operating neural networks, and 5 main PC producers will construct the supercomputers.

These desktop techniques, first previewed as “Undertaking DIGITS” in January, intention to carry AI capabilities to builders, researchers, and information scientists who have to prototype, fine-tune, and run giant AI fashions domestically. DGX techniques can function standalone desktop AI labs or “bridge techniques” that enable AI builders to maneuver their fashions from desktops to DGX Cloud or any AI cloud infrastructure with few code adjustments.

Huang defined the rationale behind these new merchandise in a information launch, saying, “AI has reworked each layer of the computing stack. It stands to cause a brand new class of computer systems would emerge—designed for AI-native builders and to run AI-native purposes.”

The smaller DGX Spark options the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip with Blackwell GPU and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, delivering as much as 1,000 trillion operations per second for AI.

In the meantime, the extra highly effective DGX Station contains the GB300 Grace Blackwell Extremely Desktop Superchip with 784GB of coherent reminiscence and the ConnectX-8 SuperNIC supporting networking speeds as much as 800Gb/s.

The DGX structure serves as a prototype that different producers can produce. Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo will develop and promote each DGX techniques, with DGX Spark reservations opening right now and DGX Station anticipated later in 2025. Further manufacturing companions for the DGX Station embrace BOXX, Lambda, and Supermicro, with techniques anticipated to be out there later this yr.

For the reason that techniques will likely be manufactured by completely different firms, Nvidia didn’t point out pricing for the models. Nonetheless, in January, Nvidia talked about that the base-level configuration for a DGX Spark-like pc would retail for round $3,000.
