Nvidia has introduced Project Digits, a compact AI supercomputer designed for researchers, data scientists, and students. The system, unveiled at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, runs on Nvidia’s powerful Grace Blackwell Superchip and provides up to a petaflop of computing performance. CEO Jensen Huang described it as a “cloud computing platform that sits on your desk” and highlighted its ability to prototype and fine-tune AI models.

A single Project Digits unit can run AI models with up to 200 billion parameters, while two linked devices can handle models with up to 405 billion parameters. The machine is powered by a Blackwell GPU and a 20-core Grace CPU, supported by 128GB of memory and up to 4TB of storage. It can function as a standalone system or connect to a primary Windows or Mac PC, offering flexibility for AI development.

Pricing starts at $3,000, making it an investment primarily for professionals and institutions rather than casual users. Nvidia plans to launch Project Digits in May through select partners. Huang believes the device will bring AI supercomputing capabilities to millions of developers, accelerating advancements in AI.
