NVIDIA’s new Project Digits mini supercomputer is designed for developers, researchers, students, and data scientists who need to run AI models and will be small enough to fit in a bag.

One of the biggest announcements in Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s CES keynote was the small “Project Digits” AI supercomputer, and if you want to get an idea of just how tiny the $3,000 machine is in real life,

But what's inside makes it pretty special. Digits is powered by Nvidia's new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, and Nvidia teamed up with MediaTek to make the chip more energy-efficient, meaning that running it requires the kind of power you get from a standard power outlet.

Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nvidia unveiled Project Digits, a device it's calling a 'personal AI supercomputer.'

Nvidia offers a range of similar devices in the same accessibility style — in December, it announced a $249 version of its Jetson computer for AI applications, targeting hobbyists and startups, called the Jetson Orin Nano Super (it handles models up to 8 billion parameters ).

Project DIGITS is meant to work alongside a desktop PC, giving AI developers, data scientists, and students a convenient way to access a Blackwell GPU. But the product won't be cheap.

Scientists have created a new mini PC that is almost as powerful as a supercomputer but can fit in your bag. The new device, dubbed "Project Digits," is designed for developers, researchers, students and data scientists who work with artificial intelligence (AI).
