The next AI revolution starts where rockets launch. NVIDIA DGX Spark’s first stop: Starbase, Texas.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang arrived at the SpaceX facility — amid towering engines and gleaming steel — to hand-deliver the company’s just-launched DGX Spark to Elon Musk.
Huang arrived walking past rows of engineers who waved and grinned. Moments later, Musk appeared in the cafeteria, greeting staff and opening donuts and chips for kids before grabbing a slice of pizza.
Huang joined him, recounting the story of delivering the first DGX system to OpenAI and explaining how Spark takes that mission further.
“Imagine delivering the smallest supercomputer next to the biggest rocket,” Huang said with a laugh.
The handoff came as SpaceX prepared for the 11th test of Starship, the world’s most powerful launch vehicle.
DGX Spark packs 128GB of unified memory and delivers a petaflop of AI performance, enough to run models with 200 billion parameters locally.
Built for developers, researchers and creators, DGX Spark brings supercomputer-class performance beyond the data center — ready to grab and go.
Nine years ago, NVIDIA bet on the future of AI with NVIDIA DGX-1. Today, that bet goes beyond the data center with the handoff to Musk coming amid the 11th test of SpaceX’s Starship, the world’s most powerful launch vehicle.
DGX Spark packs 128GB of unified memory and is powerful enough to run models with 200 billion parameters locally.
Built for developers, researchers and creators who want supercomputer-class performance that’s ready to grab and go.
From robotics labs to creative studios, DGX Sparks are landing where ideas happen… putting petaflop AI within arm’s reach of everyone.
This blog will be updated as DGX Spark systems land from Ollama in Palo Alto to Arizona State’s robotics lab, from Refik Anadol’s studio to the hands of Jo Mardall at Zipline. Each delivery is a new chapter in the story of AI.
It’s the size of a piece of origami paper, and the thickness of a hardcover book. It acts like a rocket engine for AI.
DGX Spark isn’t just compact — it’s dense with possibility. Inside its 1.2 kg chassis is a full-blown AI supercomputer built to take AI beyond the data center and into the hands of those who create.
At its core:
And it’s not just hardware. DGX Spark comes with the full NVIDIA AI software stack — frameworks, libraries, pretrained models and NVIDIA NIM microservices, ready to power workflows like:
This isn’t a dev box. It’s a launchpad… A petaflop of AI performance within arm’s reach for developers, researchers and creators everywhere.
From PC giants to AI pioneers, the diminutive DGX Spark is sure to start something big.
DGX Spark is already in the hands of innovators — from ISVs optimizing their tools to researchers pushing the boundaries of robotics, art and edge AI.
DGX Spark isn’t just a breakthrough in size and performance… it’s a platform built on collaboration. Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo and MSI are rolling out systems that put petaflop AI on your desk, transforming the desktop into an AI launchpad.
These partners deliver more than hardware. They deliver possibility — NVIDIA’s full AI stack in a compact form factor that accelerates agentic and physical AI development everywhere ideas happen.
And the rollout doesn’t stop at OEMs. DGX Sparks are already lighting up the AI ecosystem. Some highlights:
From creative studios to robotics labs, DGX Sparks are landing where imagination meets engineering — taking AI beyond the data center and into the hands of those building what’s next.
DGX Spark will be generally available starting Wednesday, Oct. 15, on NVIDIA.com and through partners worldwide.
