Nvidia Unveils $3,000 Personal AI Supercomputer 'Digits'
At CES 2025, Nvidia announced 'Project Digits', a personal AI supercomputer available from May 2025 at a starting price of $3,000. The desktop-sized system is built around the new Grace Blackwell Superchip GB10 and is designed to run demanding AI models locally. It can handle models up to 200 billion parameters, with 128 GB of unified coherent memory; linking two units supports models up to 405 billion parameters. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the device brings AI supercomputing to millions of developers, data scientists, and students. MediaTek contributed to the GB10's design to improve energy efficiency and performance. Users get access to Nvidia's AI software stack, including NGC, DGX OS, and frameworks such as PyTorch, Python, and Jupyter Notebooks. Models developed locally can be moved to cloud or data-center infrastructure using the same Grace Blackwell architecture and Nvidia AI Enterprise.
Nvidia expands accessible on-premises AI compute with a low-cost personal supercomputer, potentially accelerating AI experimentation and model development across industries, including AdTech and MarTech.
