NVIDIA has announced the DGX Spark, the world’s first AI supercomputer in a shoebox size, intended to bring advanced AI capability right to developers’ desktops. Designed on the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture, DGX Spark combines a GB10 Superchip, providing up to 1 petaflop of AI capability and 128GB of unified memory. This tiny system allows developers to execute inference on AI models up to 200 billion parameters and locally fine-tune models up to 70 billion parameters. The hardware includes NVIDIA ConnectX-7 200 Gb/s networking and NVLink-C2C, delivering five times the bandwidth of fifth-gen PCIe. Equipped with the NVIDIA AI software stack ahead of time, DGX Spark provides access to NVIDIA NIM microservices, which can be used to create AI agents and sophisticated applications.

To celebrate the worldwide shipment of DGX Spark, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang personally delivered one of the initial models to Elon Musk at SpaceX’s Starbase complex in Texas. Huang highlighted the importance of this release, commenting, “In 2016, we designed DGX-1 to provide AI researchers with their own supercomputer. I personally delivered the first system to Elon at a tiny startup called OpenAI and from that began ChatGPT, initiating the AI revolution.”. With DGX Spark, we’re back to that mission putting an AI computer in the hands of every developer to fuel the next breakthrough wave.” From October 15, DGX Spark will be orderable on NVIDIA.com, with partner systems from Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, and MSI, broadening access to high-performance AI computing solutions globally.
