Nvidia’s Project Digits is a ‘personal AI supercomputer’

Pa CES 2025 in Las VegasNvidia uncovered Project Digits, a “supercomputer AI” that provides access to Grace Blackwell’s company platform in an integrated format.

“(Project Digits) runs the entire Nvidia AI stack — all Nvidia software runs this,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a press conference on Monday. “It’s a cloud computing platform that sits on your desk… It’s a workspace, if you will.”

Designed for AI researchers, data scientists, and students, Project Digits features Nvidia’s new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which offers a wide range of computing options for prototyping, optimizing, and running AI models.

Nvidia says a single Project Digits unit can handle up to 200 billion colors in size. Parameters correspond to the model’s ability to solve problems, and models with more parameters perform better than those with fewer parameters.

The GB10, which was developed in collaboration with MediaTek, has an Nvidia Blackwell GPU paired with a 20-core Nvidia Grace CPU. Inside the Project Digits enclosure, the chips are connected to a pool of 128GB of memory and up to 4TB of flash storage.

Nvidia says two Project Digits machines can be connected together to handle more than 405 billion colors, if the application requires it. Project Digits can provide automation, as previously described, or connect to a Windows or Mac PC first.

But it’s not cheap. The Project Digits system, which runs Nvidia’s Linux-based DGX OS, will be available from May for “premium partners” for $3,000, the company said.

So not everyone can afford to buy their own Project Digits. Huang thinks there is a market.

“With Project Digits, the Grace Blackwell Superchip comes to millions of inventors,” he said in a statement. “Putting an AI mainframe on the desks of every data scientist, AI researcher and student empowers them to lead and transform the age of AI.”
