Nvidia, the undisputed leader in the rapidly-growing AI hardware market, has announced a “personal AI supercomputer” intended to be used by researchers and data scientists looking to run large AI models on their own personal computers. The new product, named Project DIGITS, will cost $3,000 and be released this May.

In a packed Las Vegas arena, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang stood on stage and marveled over the crisp real-time computer graphics displayed on the screen behind him. He watched as a dark-haired woman walked through ornate gilded double doors and took in the rays of light that poured in through stained glass windows.
