NVIDIA and MediaTek democratize AI access with innovative supercomputer

NVIDIA has launched a compact AI supercomputer with Project DIGITS, aimed at providing powerful AI capabilities directly to researchers, data scientists, and students. The centerpiece of this project is the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, boasting a computing power of one petaflop, enabling users to efficiently develop, optimize, and run large AI models on conventional desktop systems. This ambitious initiative aims to democratize access to advanced AI tools and enable seamless deployment of models from local systems to cloud or data center infrastructures. Developed in collaboration with MediaTek, the GB10 Superchip impresses not only with its energy efficiency but also with its high performance. It can handle AI innovations with models of up to 200 billion parameters. The market launch of Project DIGITS is planned for May and represents a significant step toward comprehensive industry integration of AI technology. MediaTek is looking forward to growth in its AI-focused SoC solutions through strategic partnerships. Learn more about MediaTek's market opportunities and future challenges.
