Nvidia is breaking down barriers in artificial intelligence with the launch of the DGX Spark, a compact and powerful ‘personal AI supercomputer’ designed for individual desktops. Priced at $3,999 and available for order online and through select partners, the DGX Spark brings advanced AI model development capabilities previously exclusive to large data centers directly to researchers and students. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang envisions placing these AI powerhouses on the desks of data scientists, researchers, and students, empowering them to lead the charge in AI innovation. Major PC manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, and MSI are already developing customized versions of the Spark. Powered by Nvidia’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, featuring 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe SSD storage, the DGX Spark delivers a petaflop of AI performance and can handle AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. Nvidia touts it as the world’s smallest AI supercomputer, marking a significant leap in accessible AI computing.
