Nvidia’s DGX Spark and its GB10-based siblings are getting a major performance bump with the platform’s latest software update, announced at CES on Monday. The AI mini PC is also getting access to the GPU giant’s full suite of AI Enterprise apps, alongside integrations with RTX Remix and Hugging Face’s Reachy robotics platform.
First teased at CES 2025 under the codename Project Digits, the DGX Spark is a tiny AI workstation designed to support rapid prototyping, GPU-accelerated software development, and local AI training and inference workloads.
While it’s billed as the “world’s smallest AI supercomputer,” the machine isn’t actually that powerful with the computational grunt equivalent to an RTX 5070. What sets it apart from the rest of Nvidia’s lineup is the inclusion of 128 GB of unified memory, all of which can be allocated to the GPU. That’s the most of an Nvidia workstation product, save for the DGX Station.

Since the Spark’s launch in October, Nvidia has been hard at work improving the system’s performance by an average of 2.5x across a number of software libraries and frameworks, though we haven’t had the opportunity to independently verify those claims just yet.
But before you get too excited, don’t expect to see the Spark churning out tokens twice as quickly as before. The decode phase of LLM…
