NVIDIA’s $3,000 Project DIGITS brings AI supercomputing to your desk

NVIDIA aims to make cutting-edge AI technology more accessible, enabling a broader range of users to engage in AI research and innovation

NVIDIA has unveiled Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer designed to bring high-performance AI computing to researchers, data scientists, and students. Revealed at CES 2025, the platform is powered by the advanced NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, delivering up to one petaflop of AI performance. This allows users to develop, optimize, and deploy large-scale AI models directly from their desktops. With this breakthrough, NVIDIA aims to make cutting-edge AI technology more accessible, enabling a broader range of users to engage in AI research and innovation.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, emphasized the transformative impact of the project, saying, "AI will be mainstream in every application across all industries. With Project DIGITS, the Grace Blackwell Superchip will be available to millions of developers. Placing an AI supercomputer on the desks of data scientists, AI researchers, and students will empower them to shape the future of AI."

The heart of Project DIGITS is the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which combines an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with fifth-generation Tensor Cores and an NVIDIA Grace CPU that features 20 power-efficient cores based on Arm architecture. This architecture provides up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision. The superchip, developed in collaboration with MediaTek, is designed to offer exceptional power efficiency while operating on standard electrical outlets, making it accessible for a wide range of users.

In terms of memory and storage, Project DIGITS is equipped with 128GB of memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage, enabling users to process large datasets and run AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. The system is also scalable, allowing two DIGITS units to connect via NVIDIA ConnectX networking to handle up to 405 billion parameters. This flexibility allows users to begin AI development locally on Linux-based systems running NVIDIA DGX OS, with the option to scale seamlessly to cloud or data centre environments through NVIDIA DGX Cloud.

Priced from $3,000, Project DIGITS will be available in May 2025, with notifications for updates currently open. This new offering is set to make cutting-edge AI supercomputing accessible to a much broader audience, providing developers, researchers, and students with powerful tools to advance the AI landscape.
