Definition: Project DIGITS

A desktop AI computer from NVIDIA designed to prototype large language models. Project DIGITS uses the scaled-down GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip from NVIDIA. Showcased at CES 2025 and about the size of a mini PC, the DIGITS device was designed to support AI training as a peripheral to a desktop computer.

The GPU in the DIGITS machine is from 5 to 10% as powerful as NVIDIA's GB200 Superchip; however, it is expected to support AI models with up to 200 billion parameters and up to 400 billion when two units are linked together via NVIDIA's ConnectX networking. See Blackwell and NVMe.

An AI Computer - Really?

The Project DIGITS computer looks rather harmless sitting on a desk, but it is actually capable of one quadrillion floating point calculations per second (one petaFLOPS). The machine comes with 128GB of memory and 4TB of NVMe storage. (Image courtesy of NVIDIA Corporation.)
