Nvidia's DGX Spark AI mini-PC got its first star turn at CES this year and was penciled in for a May launch date at the show, but the platform has since experienced delays on its road to market. Whatever wrinkles were preventing a launch have apparently been ironed out. Nvidia has announced that DGX Spark systems will be available to buy starting October 15, both from Nvidia itself and from partners including Dell, Asus, MSI, and HP.
As a refresher, the DGX Spark is a Grace Blackwell GB10-powered mini-PC platform that's custom-tailored to the needs of local AI inference and development. Running inference on many of today's state-of-the-art AI models requires far, far more GPU-local memory than even the 32GB that an RTX 5090 can provide. (The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell offers up to 96GB of GPU-local memory, but that's an $8000+ product before you add in the cost of a host server or workstation).
