Nvidia unveils “Project Digits,” the world’s smallest AI supercomputer
In a surprise announcement at CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduced Project Digits, a mini PC he hailed as the world’s smallest AI supercomputer. The revolutionary device, powered by the new Grace Blackwell GB10 superchip, promises to deliver a petaflop of AI performance in a compact form factor, redefining the possibilities of AI development and deployment.
The specs that stole the show
Project Digits is a powerhouse packed into a tiny shell. At its core is the Grace Blackwell GB10 superchip, which integrates:
GPU: Latest-generation CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor cores for unparalleled AI and compute performance.
CPU: An ARM-based 20-core processor, co-designed with MediaTek, delivering energy-efficient computing.
Memory and Storage: 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage.
Nvidia also announced that the mini PC will include its full AI software stack, including NeMo, RAPIDS, Blueprints, and more, making it an end-to-end solution for developers.
The system is tailored for AI developers and researchers, enabling the prototyping, fine-tuning, and inferencing of large language models (LLMs) with up to 200 billion parameters—all locally, without reliance on cloud infrastructure.
Price and availability
Priced at $3,000, Project Digits is squarely targeted at enterprises, research institutions, and well-funded developers. Nvidia is positioning the mini PC as a cost-effective alternative to expensive data center infrastructure or cloud computing services.
The system is set for an official launch in May 2025, with availability through Nvidia and its partners.
Competition in the growing AI mini PC market
While Project Digits stole the spotlight, it’s not entering the market unchallenged. HP recently unveiled the Z2 Mini G1a workstation, powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 processor. With 16 cores, 32 threads, and a base speed of 3 GHz (boosting to 5.1 GHz), the Z2 Mini G1a is designed for AI workloads, 3D design, and graphics-intensive projects.
The future of AI development
Huang emphasized the role of Project Digits in democratizing AI development saying, "AI will be mainstream in every application for every industry. With Project Digits, the Grace Blackwell Superchip comes to millions of developers,”
“Placing an AI supercomputer on the desks of every data scientist, AI researcher, and student empowers them to engage and shape the age of AI,” he concluded.
By offering a scalable, all-in-one system for AI developers, Nvidia aims to cement its leadership in the AI compute market while fostering innovation across industries.
