But Nvidia’s DGX Spark packs 1 petaflop of compute and 128GB of memory into a small-sized desktop, powered by the company’s Grace Blackwell GB10 Superchip. It can fine-tune AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. “Offering petaflops of AI performance on a desktop device is groundbreaking, because we really think it’ll unlock the democratization of AI,” says Dion Harris, senior director of high-performance computing and AI factory solutions at Nvidia. The computer can be linked to another DGX Spark to churn through bigger models and will cost $3,999, with reservations already open through select sellers.
