Nvidia Digits represents a significant leap forward in AI technology. By combining powerful hardware, a comprehensive software stack and a compact, power-efficient design, Digits brings the capabilities of an AI supercomputer to the desktop.

Nvidia offers a range of similar devices in the same accessibility style. In December, it announced a $249 version of its Jetson computer for AI applications, targeting hobbyists and startups, called the Jetson Orin Nano Super.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also announced new AI tools for creating autonomous agents during a keynote address at CES.

But what's inside makes it pretty special. Digits is powered by Nvidia's new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, and Nvidia teamed up with MediaTek to make the chip more energy-efficient, meaning that running it requires the kind of power you get from a standard power outlet.

Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nvidia unveiled Project Digits, a device it's calling a 'personal AI supercomputer.'

Project DIGITS main purpose seems to be as a desktop showcase for the GB10 AI superchip. Each machine will includje 128GB of unified, coherent memory and 4TB of storage. Users can even link two together to run 405 billion parameter models, previously only the reserve of the big AI labs.
