In a symbolic meeting of innovation and ambition, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang personally delivered the DGX Spark, the world’s smallest AI supercomputer, to Elon Musk at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Texas.
The DGX Spark, set to ship globally from October 15, encapsulates NVIDIA’s complete AI ecosystem—combining powerful GPUs, CPUs, networking, and software—into a compact desktop design. Despite its size, the system delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, supports models with up to 200 billion parameters, and features 128 GB of unified memory, offering data center–level capabilities for local AI workloads.
“Imagine delivering the smallest supercomputer beside the biggest rocket,” Huang quipped, referencing SpaceX’s Starship in the backdrop, symbolizing the fusion of advanced computing and space-age engineering.
The delivery rekindles a legacy—Huang previously hand-delivered the first DGX-1 to OpenAI in 2016, where Musk was a co-founder. Now, with the DGX Spark, NVIDIA aims to democratize AI access, empowering researchers, developers, and enterprises to train and deploy advanced models without depending on massive data centers.
Built in collaboration with top OEMs including Acer, ASUS, Dell, MSI, HP, and Lenovo, the DGX Spark is being rapidly adopted for agentic and physical AI applications.
The message is clear: AI supercomputing has arrived on the desktop, marking a new chapter in accessible, high-performance computing for the AI-driven future.
