Jensen Huang Personally Presented Elon Musk with the World’s Smallest Supercomputer

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang personally handed Elon Musk the first DGX Spark—the company’s most compact AI supercomputer yet. The ceremonial transfer coincided with the announcement that the system will go on sale on October 15, 2025.

DGX Spark was developed to reflect Huang’s credo of “making artificial intelligence accessible to everyone.” In a desktop-sized chassis it delivers supercomputer-class performance, enabling model training without reliance on cloud infrastructure.

During his visit to SpaceX, Huang recalled that he once presented Musk with the original NVIDIA DGX-1 for OpenAI. Now the story comes full circle: DGX Spark is positioned to be the “spark” that ignites a new wave of AI adoption in homes and small businesses.

Technical specifications of the DGX Spark:

• NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, up to 1 petaflop (FP4)

• 128 GB of unified CPU–GPU memory

• NVIDIA ConnectX and NVLink‑C2C delivering throughput roughly five times that of PCIe

• High-speed NVMe storage, HDMI output, and compatibility with NVIDIA’s full developer stack

Sales will roll out through partners including Acer, ASUS, Dell, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo and MSI, with an expected price around $3,999. The debut had originally been scheduled for July 2025, but was postponed due to issues with the GB10 chip (a collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek).

DGX Spark extends the DGX family—traditionally used in labs and data centers—by putting supercomputer power into a desktop form factor: compact enough for a desk yet capable of training large language and generative models.
