What is NVIDIA DGX Spark?
DGX Spark is NVIDIA's compact AI computer, built around the GB10 Grace Blackwell chip. Its standout feature is 128 GB of unified memory shared by CPU and GPU, which lets large AI models run on a single desk-sized machine.
Why it matters for a business
- Local AI that is actually capable: models large enough for real business work, run on your own premises.
- Office-friendly: compact, up to 233 W, quiet (the Mars Space Rig runs at 29 dB).
- Ownership: a hardware purchase instead of a per-user cloud bill.
The gap: hardware is not an assistant
Out of the box, DGX Spark is a developer machine. To make it useful for a business you need to choose and run models, connect email, build a searchable knowledge base, add a chat and voice interface, set up backups and keep it all running. That is the work Space Rigs has already done.
The Mars Space Rig
The Mars Space Rig is powered by NVIDIA DGX Spark with an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, a 20-core Arm CPU, 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x memory and a 4 TB NVMe SSD, with 10 GbE, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. It arrives as a working private AI assistant with Private, Secure and Wise privacy modes, email reply drafts, document Q&A, customer memory, photo and video search, Telegram and voice access, and automatic backups. $11,500 USD.
