LIVE from GTC: DGX Spark Insides First Look
Mar 20, 2025 · 12:39
Israel from NVIDIA gives a first look at the DGX Spark, a $3,000–$4,000 mini AI supercomputer that fits up to 200B parameter models in FP4 with 128GB unified memory, powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Superchip. It uses the same Grace Blackwell architecture and software stack as data center systems, so code written on the Spark deploys to production without modifications. The device includes a ConnectX-7 dual-port 200Gb ethernet for clustering two units, and runs DGX OS (Ubuntu 24.04). Storage is 1TB or 4TB NVMe. Partners ASUS, HP, Dell, and Lenovo will offer their own cases. Israel stresses the Spark is a developer box, not a server, but delivers enterprise-grade networking and shared memory in a compact form.
