About Project DIGITS

NVIDIA DGX Spark is a personal AI supercomputer designed for local autonomous agent development, powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. It delivers up to 1 petaFLOP of AI performance at FP4 precision, features 128 GB of coherent unified system memory for running models up to 200 billion parameters, and includes NVIDIA ConnectX-7 networking to link two systems for models up to 405 billion parameters. The platform comes with the full NVIDIA AI software stack, including tools like NVIDIA NIM, NeMoClaw, and OpenShell, enabling local prototyping, fine-tuning (up to 70B parameters), and inference without relying on cloud resources. Its compact, power-efficient design allows always-on agent workloads from the desktop, with security and privacy guardrails via OpenShell.
