NVIDIA Brings Grace Blackwell to AI Developer’s Fingertips

NVIDIA Grace Blackwell

NVIDIA Places Grace Blackwell at the fingertips of every AI developer and on every desk.

With its new GB10 superchip, NVIDIA Project DIGITS makes its debut as the smallest AI supercomputer in the world, capable of running 200B-parameter models.

Currently, NVIDIA launched NVIDIA Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer that gives students, data scientists, and AI researchers around the world access to the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform’s capability.

The NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which is part of Project DIGITS, provides a petaflop of AI computational power for large-scale AI model running, fine-tuning, and prototyping.

Project DIGITS enables users to create and execute inference on models on their own desktop computer before smoothly deploying the models on data centre or accelerated cloud infrastructure.

The GB10 Superchip Offers Power-Efficient AI Performance at a Petaflop Level

The NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture serves as the foundation for the GB10 Superchip, a system-on-a-chip (SoC) that offers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision.

The NVIDIA Blackwell GPU in the GB10 has the newest CUDA and fifth-generation Tensor cores. It is coupled to a high-performance NVIDIA Grace CPU, which has 20 power-efficient cores constructed with the Arm architecture, via an NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interface. Working together on the design of GB10, MediaTek a market leader in Arm-based SoC designs contributed to its best-in-class performance, connectivity, and power efficiency.

Project DIGITS can give tremendous performance with just a regular electrical outlet with the GB10 Superchip. Up to 4TB of NVMe storage and 128GB of unified, coherent memory are included with every Project DIGITS. To boost AI innovation, developers can use the supercomputer to execute massive language models with up to 200 billion parameters. Additionally, two Project DIGITS AI supercomputers can be connected to execute up to 405-billion-parameter models via NVIDIA ConnectX networking.

Grace Blackwell AI: Achievable Supercomputing

Businesses and researchers can use the Grace Blackwell architecture to develop, refine, and test models on local Project DIGITS computers running NVIDIA DGX OS on Linux. These models can then be easily deployed on NVIDIA DGX Cloud, accelerated cloud instances, or data centre infrastructure.

This enables developers to use the same Grace Blackwell architecture and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform to prototype AI on Project DIGITS and later scale on cloud or data centre infrastructure.

For experimentation and prototyping, Project DIGITS users have access to a vast library of NVIDIA AI software, including software development kits, orchestration tools, frameworks, and models that are accessible on the NVIDIA Developer portal and in the NVIDIA NGC catalogue. The NVIDIA NeMo framework allows developers to fine-tune models, while the NVIDIA RAPIDS libraries speed up data science and enable standard frameworks like PyTorch, Python, and Jupyter notebooks.

NVIDIA Blueprints and NVIDIA NIM microservices, which are accessible for study, development, and testing through the NVIDIA Developer Program, can also be used by users to create agentic AI applications. The NVIDIA AI Enterprise license offers enterprise-grade security, support, and product updates of NVIDIA AI software when AI applications are prepared to transition from testing to production settings.

Blackwell, Grace AI Supercomputing is a cutting-edge platform created to advance high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. It provides unparalleled computational power for training massive neural networks, generating AI models, and carrying out intricate simulations by fusing state-of-the-art hardware, sophisticated AI frameworks, and optimised software ecosystems.

Fundamentally, Grace Blackwell consists of a synergistic combination of GPUs, CPUs, and specially designed AI accelerators that are coupled by high-speed fabrics to guarantee smooth data delivery and low latency. Because of its scalable architecture, it works just as well in distributed cloud settings, research institutes, and enterprise data centres.

The platform is well known for its energy efficiency, using cutting-edge power management and cooling technologies to save operating expenses and their negative effects on the environment. Additionally, Grace Blackwell places a high priority on developer accessibility by providing extensive tools, libraries, and APIs that make it easier to create and scale AI workloads.

Grace Blackwell’s skills are being used by sectors like healthcare, autonomous systems, climate modelling, and natural language processing to make breakthroughs and address pressing issues. Grace Blackwell AI Supercomputing raises the bar for the development of intelligent systems and next-generation computing solutions by empowering businesses to fully utilize AI at previously unheard-of speed and efficiency.
