Nvidia has introduced its latest AI personal supercomputers powered by the Grace Blackwell platform. The DGX Spark, formerly Project DIGITS, and the DGX Station, built on Blackwell Ultra, allow AI developers, researchers, and data scientists to prototype, fine-tune, and run large-scale models directly on a desktop. These models can be processed locally or deployed to DGX Cloud and other accelerated cloud or data center platforms.
Former Premier of Taiwan Chuan Lin (2016-2017) once asked me, "Will the AI wave become a bubble?" I do not see any signs of a bubble.
