NVIDIA announces small AI supercomputer 'Project DIGITS', two machines can be combined to run 405 billion parameter AI models for $3,000 each
NVIDIA has announced a small AI supercomputer called 'GB10'. The GB10 runs the Linux-based 'NVIDIA DGX OS', and by combining two GB10s, an AI model with 405 billion parameters can be run locally. In addition, Toyota will join NVIDIA's autonomous driving ecosystem, and the launch of 'Mega', a virtual testing environment for AI robots, has also been announced.

◆Project DIGITS
The device held by CEO Jensen Huang in the image below is Project DIGITS. Project DIGITS is a small supercomputer developed for AI researchers and data scientists, and is available at a relatively low price of $ 3,000 (about 470,000 yen).
Project DIGITS is equipped with NVIDIA's proprietary SoC 'GB10'. The GPU uses the Blackwell architecture and has a processing power of 1PFLOPS with FP4. The CPU uses the Arm architecture and has 20 CPU cores. In addition to 128GB of power-saving DDR5X memory, it also has a built-in 4TB SSD.
Project DIGITS is powered by the Linux-based NVIDIA DGX OS and can run large-scale language models with up to 200 billion parameters.
In addition, by running two Project DIGITS machines in parallel, it is possible to run large-scale language models with up to 405 billion parameters.
Project DIGITS is scheduled to start shipping in May 2025.
◆ Toyota joins NVIDIA's autonomous driving ecosystem
NVIDIA has developed the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform for autonomous vehicle development, and companies such as BYD, JLR, Li Auto, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, NIO, Nuro, Rivian, Volvo Cars, Waabi, Wayve, Xiaomi, ZEEKR, and Zoox are using NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for development. It has now been revealed that three new companies, Toyota, Aurora, and Continental, will adopt NVIDIA DRIVE AGX.
According to NVIDIA, Toyota is working on developing next-generation vehicles that will run NVIDIA DriveOS.
◆ 'Mega' virtual environment for testing AI robots
Mega is a system that recreates the structure and machinery of a factory in a digital space, allowing robots to be tested and optimized in the digital space.
KION GROUP is already using Mega to develop warehouse robots. You can see the case study of KION GROUP's Mega in the video below.
