NVIDIA announces desktop PC-sized AI supercomputers 'DGX Spark' and 'DGX Station,' equipped with Blackwell-generation AI-specialized GPUs to enable local AI development in personal environments

NVIDIA has announced the launch of the desktop-sized AI-specialized PCs ' DGX Spark ' and ' DGX Station .' These bring the power of the 'NVIDIA Grace Blackwell' architecture, previously only available in data centers, to individuals, and will help AI developers and data scientists fine-tune large-scale AI models.

Both DGX Spark and DGX Station feature the Grace Blackwell architecture, which combines the Blackwell GPU architecture, which realizes AI models with trillions of parameters, with the Grace Arm-based CPU, which is tightly coupled with the GPU to achieve efficiency in processing massive amounts of data.

DGX Spark is a renamed version of 'Project DIGITS,' which was announced in January 2025.

DGX Spark and DGX Station are described as 'bringing the power of the Grace Blackwell architecture, previously only available in the data center, to the desktop.'

DGX Spark, introduced as 'the world's smallest AI supercomputer,' is equipped with the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip at its heart. It is said to achieve up to 1,000 trillion AI operations per second for inference models such as NVIDIA's model for physical AI ' Cosmos Reason ' and model for humanoid robots ' GR00T N1 '. With these capabilities, models can be migrated from the desktop to AI platforms such as DGX Cloud with virtually no code changes, making it easier to prototype, fine-tune, and iterate on workflows. Other detailed specifications are listed on the official page .

The DGX Station is described as 'bringing data center-level performance to the desktop.' Inside is the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, with a huge coherent memory space of 784GB. It also features

the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, which achieves a speed of 800Gbps on a single port, and is described as 'providing extremely fast and efficient network connections, enabling high-speed connections for multiple DGX Stations, enabling even larger workloads, and accelerating data transfers for AI workloads over the network.'

'AI has transformed every aspect of existing computing,' said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. 'It's only natural that we now have a computer designed for AI developers and to run AI applications. This is the computer of the AI era. This is the computer that computers should be and will run in the future.'

DGX Spark is currently accepting preorders at the time of writing. If you preorder, you will be notified when the product becomes available for purchase. However, at the time of writing, Japan is not eligible for preorders. The price has not been specified, but the predecessor Project DIGITS was announced as 'scheduled to start shipping in May 2025 for $3,000 (approximately 448,000 yen),' so this may follow suit. It is also scheduled to be released by ASUS, Dell, and HP.

The DGX Station is expected to be available in the second half of 2025 from partners including ASUS, BOXX, Dell, HP, Lambda and Supermicro.
