The chip company Nvidia wants to bring an AI supercomputer to desktops. CEO Jensen Huang introduced the compact device named Project Digits at the start of the CES tech fair in Las Vegas.

According to Nvidia's concept, the handy device should enable millions of developers, data scientists, and even students to work on artificial intelligence software. The device, priced at $3,000, is expected to be available from several manufacturers starting in May. Inside is a previously secret Nvidia chip designated GB10. With Digits, one should be able to work on complex AI models, for example.

Nvidia's chips have become a key technology for the growing AI industry in recent years. The company's systems are used worldwide for training applications with artificial intelligence. Heavyweights like Google or the Facebook group Meta fill entire data centers with them—and AI start-ups like the Chat-GPT maker Open AI also rely on them. The desk-sized technology could further strengthen the company's dominance in the industry.

Also humanoid robots and self-driving cars in focus

Nvidia is also increasingly focusing on technology for robots and self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are a reality and could become a trillion-dollar business, Huang said. To this end, Nvidia plans to offer a computer named Thor, which processes information from various vehicle sensors. The chip system could also be used in humanoid robots, Huang emphasized.

Additionally, Nvidia developed the Cosmos software, which generates realistically looking environments for training artificial intelligence. The goal is to "teach AI to understand the real world," said Huang. The AI model behind Cosmos was trained with 20 million hours of video footage.
