Introduction of this blog:
- Briefly introduce NVIDIA and its role in AI technology.
- Introduce Project Digits as an innovative initiative aimed at making AI supercomputing more accessible.
What is Project Digits?
At CES 2025, NVIDIA unveiled Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer designed to democratize access to advanced AI capabilities for developers, researchers, and students.
This compact desktop system is powered by the new GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, co-developed with MediaTek, delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and supporting models with up to 200 billion parameters. Priced at $3,000 (approximately HKD 23,400), it aims to make high-performance AI computing more accessible.
Key Features of NVIDIA's Project DIGITS:
- GB10 Superchip: Combines NVIDIA’s latest CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor cores with a 20-core Arm-based Grace CPU, connected via NVLink-C2C technology.
- Memory and Storage: Equipped with 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage, enabling the handling of large AI models.
- AI Model Capacity: Capable of running AI models with up to 200 billion parameters on a single system. For more demanding applications, two systems can be linked to support models with up to 405 billion parameters.
- Performance: Delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, making it suitable for complex AI computations previously requiring larger, more power-intensive machines.
- Software Ecosystem: Runs on a Linux-based NVIDIA DGX OS and supports popular AI frameworks such as PyTorch, Python, and Jupyter notebooks. It includes access to NVIDIA’s AI software library, development kits, orchestration tools, and pre-trained models, facilitating seamless development and deployment of AI applications.

Empowering AI Innovation
What makes Project DIGITS unique is its ability to deliver supercomputer-level performance using a standard power socket. By integrating the Grace CPU with NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture, the device ensures high efficiency and low power consumption. This collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek, as highlighted in INSIDE, underscores the innovation behind the GB10 superchip.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that Project DIGITS represents a significant step toward making AI accessible to a broader audience, stating, “Putting an AI supercomputer on the desk of every data scientist, AI researcher, and student will enable them to participate in and shape the future of the AI industry.”
A Game-Changer for AI Application Development
The versatility of Project DIGITS is enhanced by NVIDIA’s software ecosystem, which includes:
– The NeMo framework for fine-tuning large models.
– Preinstalled tools for AI inference, data visualization, and model deployment.
– Compatibility with large-scale language models like Meta’s Llama 3.1.

The Role of Global Supply Chains
The production and distribution of Project DIGITS involve a strong global supply chain. According to Yahoo News Taiwan, key players like TSMC, MediaTek, and Compal Electronics have been crucial in the development of the GB10 superchip and the supporting ecosystem. This partnership reinforces the importance of collaboration in advancing AI technologies.
Final Thoughts
Project DIGITS is expected to be available in May 2025, with a starting price of $3,000. This initiative is poised to empower a new generation of AI developers and researchers by providing them with the tools necessary to drive innovation in the AI era.
