Nvidia announces it's insane product - personal AI supercomputer called Digits
It's smaller than a Mac Mini! It can run 200 billion models on your desk.
It’s just the beginning of 2025. Nvidia prepared some interesting line of the products. One of them got people very excited!
Here it is:
It’s the personal AI supercomputer called Digits.
Nvidia announces that it’s launching a personal AI supercomputer called “Project Digits” in May.
That’s exciting about it?
Firstly, let’s look at its phisical size:
It seems it’s smaller than a Mac Mini. A mini computer contains cpu, gpu, ram and all others things except the monitor and keyboards.
How about the spec?
Wow, it has 128GB “Unified Memory” together with a Blackwell GPU! The Blackwell has new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip which is a system-on-a-chip (SoC) based on the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture and delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision. From Nvidia:
GB10 features an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with latest-generation CUDA® cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, connected via NVLink®-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance NVIDIA Grace™ CPU, which includes 20 power-efficient cores built with the Arm architecture. MediaTek, a market leader in Arm-based SoC designs, collaborated on the design of GB10, contributing to its best-in-class power efficiency, performance and connectivity.
It has enough processing power to run sophisticated AI models. With 128GB memory, it can run up to 200-billion parameter large language models!
Another interesting feature, “using NVIDIA ConnectX® networking, two Project DIGITS AI supercomputers can be linked to run up to 405-billion-parameter models.”
What about software?
As it’s an Nvidia product, it have access to all its software.
Project DIGITS users can access an extensive library of NVIDIA AI software for experimentation and prototyping, including software development kits, orchestration tools, frameworks and models available in the NVIDIA NGC catalog and on the NVIDIA Developer portal.
How much is it?
Its price is $3000. Seems a lot, but if you compare it with Apple’s unified memory device, it’s actually much cheaper. For example, it cost more than $5000 for a M4 Max Macbook with 128GB VRAM and 2TB ssd:
The product will be available in May 2025. Sometimes company may delay their announced date. Luckily they have a ‘notify’ service if you want to get notified.
