POSTED ON October 16, 2025 by Arup Ratan Paul Tech giant NVIDIA has officially launched the DGX Spark, a compact “personal AI supercomputer” that’s small enough to sit on your desk — yet powerful enough to handle serious artificial intelligence workloads. The device became available in the U.S. starting October 15, both on NVIDIA’s website and through selected retail partners.
Priced at $3,999, the DGX Spark costs a bit more than early rumors suggested ($3,000), but it still offers unmatched capabilities in its class. For comparison, Acer’s Veriton GN100 comes in at the same price but offers far less AI-specific performance.
The DGX Spark represents a new generation of desktop supercomputers designed specifically for AI research, model training, and inference. It’s powered by NVIDIA’s new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, capable of delivering up to 1 PetaFLOP of performance — enough for developers to experiment with large-scale models directly on their desks.
With 128GB of unified system memory, users can run and fine-tune massive AI models — up to 200 billion parameters — from top research teams like Meta, Google, and DeepSeek. Thanks to NVIDIA ConnectX networking, two DGX Sparks can even be linked for distributed AI tasks, efficiently handling models as large as 405 billion parameters.
In short, this isn’t a fancy workstation with a high-end GPU — it’s a true supercomputer, built from the ground up for AI innovation.
Don’t let its tiny form fool you. Measuring only 150mm x 150mm x 50.5mm and weighing just 1.2kg, the DGX Spark delivers astonishing computing performance from a 1.1-liter chassis while consuming only 170 watts of power.
Here’s what drives it:
Whether you’re a researcher, engineer, or startup founder, DGX Spark is built to support your entire AI workflow — from prototyping to deployment.
1. Rapid Prototyping: Build, test, and validate new models locally with NVIDIA’s preconfigured AI environment — no extra setup needed.
2. Model Fine-Tuning: Adjust and train large open-source models (up to 70B parameters) securely and cost-effectively without relying on expensive cloud GPUs.
3. Inference & Testing: Run real-world performance tests on massive models (up to 200B parameters) with low latency and high throughput.
4. Seamless Scaling: Move your projects from desktop to data center effortlessly, since DGX Spark shares the same software backbone as DGX Station, DGX SuperPOD, and DGX Cloud.
AI Researchers & Scientists: Ideal for labs and universities working on deep learning projects.
AI Developers & Engineers: Perfect for small teams needing a local high-performance development environment.
Startups & Small Businesses: Offers affordable AI computing without cloud dependency.
Educational Institutions: Great for hands-on AI training and experimentation.
Industry Teams: Useful for sectors like healthcare, finance, or manufacturing where data privacy is critical.
The DGX Spark isn’t just another compact PC — it’s a game-changer in how AI is developed and deployed. By putting massive computing power directly on your desk, it allows developers and researchers to innovate faster, more securely, and at lower cost — without relying entirely on cloud infrastructure.
As demand for edge computing and localized AI continues to rise, DGX Spark could play a key role in democratizing access to AI supercomputing. It bridges the gap between personal workstations and enterprise data centers — bringing true AI power within everyone’s reach.
