NVIDIA Announces DGX Spark and DGX Station: Personal AI Computers for Developers and Researchers
Introduction
NVIDIA, a leader in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and graphics processing units (GPUs), has announced two new supercomputers designed specifically for developers, researchers, and data scientists: DGX Spark and DGX Station. These powerful machines are designed to run large language models and are aimed at the growing market of AI-native applications.
What is DGX Spark?
The DGX Spark is a small supercomputer that packs 784 GB of memory into a compact package. It features the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which includes a Blackwell GPU that can perform 1,000 trillion operations per second of AI computing. The device also comes equipped with NVIDIA NVLink-C2C interconnect technology, which connects the CPU and GPU at five times the bandwidth of fifth-generation PCIe.
The DGX Spark can export AI models to DGX Cloud or any accelerated cloud or data center infrastructure. It can also run NVIDIA’s recently-announced GR00T N1 robotics foundation model and the Cosmos world generation system, which teaches AI-powered robots about the physical world.
Availability and Pricing
A waitlist is now open for the DGX Spark, which will be available for $3,000. The device will be produced by manufacturers including ASUS, Dell, and HP.
What is DGX Station?
The DGX Station is a desktop AI development platform that is designed for large-scale AI workloads. It features 784 GB of coherent memory space and is powered by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, which includes a Blackwell Ultra GPU and a NVIDIA Grace CPU, connected by the NVLink-C2C.
The DGX Station also comes equipped with an NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, which supports networking at up to 800Gb/s and can link multiple DGX stations together for massive workloads or for making network-accelerated data transfers.
Interoperability
The DGX Station is designed to work seamlessly with NVIDIA’s CUDA-X AI platform for desktop AI development, the NVIDIA NIM microservices, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.
Conclusion
NVIDIA’s DGX Spark and DGX Station are powerful tools for developers, researchers, and data scientists who work with large language models. With their advanced AI capabilities and compact design, these devices are poised to revolutionize the field of AI and machine learning.
