NVIDIA's CEO has delivered one of the firm's most optimistic products, the DGX Spark, to billionaire Elon Musk, highlighting the importance of the device in Jensen's eyes.

NVIDIA's DGX Spark To Launch Into Retail By October 15th, Bringing Immense AI Power to Users

The DGX Spark is known to be one of the most compact devices available, offering computational performance that no one could have ever thought possible. The product aligns with Jensen's core idea of making AI accessible to everyone. The DGX Spark was showcased at CES 2025, and now, NVIDIA's CEO has managed to deliver a unit of the mini-supercomputer to Elon Musk, right around the 11th test of Starship. This move also took us on a trip down memory lane, to a time when NVIDIA's CEO delivered one of the first units of the DGX-1 to Musk during his tenure with OpenAI.

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.

NVIDIA's DGX Spark is now expected to be available through retailers by October 15th. It can be ordered directly from the firm's official website, along with vendor availability from Acer, ASUS, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, HP, Lenovo, and MSI. We have deep-dived into relevant SKUs and the specifics of each custom model in a previous post here, but for a quick rundown of the DGX Spark specifications, here are the main highlights:

• NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip — delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision.
• 128GB of unified CPU-GPU memory — so developers can prototype, fine-tune and run inference locally without bouncing between machines or cloud instances.
• NVIDIA ConnectX networking for clustering and NVIDIA NVLink-C2C for 5x PCIe bandwidth.
• NVMe storage for speed and HDMI out for visuals.

The mini-supercomputer experienced a slight delay in its launch, as retail availability was previously expected in July. However, given the complexities involved with the custom NVIDIA and MediaTek GB10 SoC, the launch was pushed ahead to October. The device offers immense performance for professionals, bringing massive AI computational power in the palm of your hands, but it also features a hefty price tag, right around $3,999.

Hopefully that computer will advise Musk to put regular F'n door handles on it's cars to prevent people being locked inside while it burns in a crash.

They have a release handle for that. It's right there on the door. Like.....literally!

I really like Dave's videos for technical info. He has really good overviews for all kinds of topics and actually manages to make it interesting.

That's because he has decades of experience in tech. Not only does he know his stuff, he is also great at explaining things.
In a sea of youtubers that pretend to know about tech, he is one of the few that actually knows about it, and then some.

Yeah, I mean he was one of the early MS engineers, I think in the first 100 employees (don't remember exactly). He wrote bunch of underlying code and utilities for DOS and early Windows.

Also, dude is running a Vax for his smart home controls! That's hardcore.

That thing is awesome somebody buy me one for Christmas. Just imaging what kind of nonsense I could do with that.

But the most important question is: Can it run Crysis?

This is the referenced picture of a much younger Jensen delivering a DGX-1 to a much younger LectureMaster 's Man Musk, then a co-founder of OpenAI, all the way back in 2016

My Nvidia and Tesla shares have done quite well in the following decade after this photo was taken

Obscenely rich people meeting always looks so weird...artificial.
That's a cool piece of tech though.

That reminds me of that South Park fake jewel montage sequence, lol.

Most of the money is coming from you as the bulk of the spending is from the $10's of billions each Mag7 company profits every quarter. All the MS services you subscribe to, all the Facebook/Google ads you see, profits from hosting everything you do on the internet, profits from hosting/distributing all your streaming services, profits from all the shit you buy on Amazon, the $3000 5090's everybody on Neogaf owns. etc...

That's cool stuff from a tech standpoint.
