Nvidia has announced Project DIGITS, a desktop-sized AI supercomputer featuring the new GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip. The device is designed to provide researchers, developers, and students with high-performance AI capabilities for prototyping, fine-tuning, and running large models, says Nvidia in an official press release.

The GB10 superchip delivers 1 petaflop of AI performance and combines a Blackwell GPU with a 20-core Grace CPU based on Arm architecture. The system includes 128 GB of unified memory, up to 4 TB of storage, and runs on Nvidia's Linux-based DGX OS. Project DIGITS can handle AI models with up to 200 billion parameters and can be linked to another unit for models up to 405 billion parameters using Nvidia ConnectX networking.

According to Nvidia, this new supercomputer supports seamless integration between local prototyping and deployment on Nvidia's cloud or data centre infrastructure, thanks to its compatibility with the Nvidia AI Enterprise platform. It is preloaded with tools like the NeMo framework and RAPIDS libraries and supports widely used frameworks such as PyTorch and Python.

Scheduled for release in May 2025, Project DIGITS will start at $3,000. It will be available through Nvidia and its partners.
