Nonetheless, it could actually nonetheless ship “as much as 1,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI compute for fine-tuning and inference with the newest AI reasoning fashions, together with the NVIDIA Cosmos Cause world basis mannequin and NVIDIA GR00T N1 robotic basis mannequin.” Spark options 128GB of unified reminiscence, and as much as 4TB of NVMe SSD storage.
Nvidia additionally mentioned OEM companions will make variations of the DGX computer systems. Asus, Dell, HP, Boxx, Lambda, and Supermicro will construct their very own DGX Stations, which can be obtainable later this yr.
