But what's inside makes it pretty special. Digits is powered by Nvidia's new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, and Nvidia teamed up with MediaTek to make the chip more energy-efficient, meaning that running it requires the kind of power you get from a standard power outlet.

Nvidia offers a range of similar devices in the same accessibility style — in December, it announced a $249 version of its Jetson computer for AI applications, targeting hobbyists and startups, called the Jetson Orin Nano Super (it handles models up to 8 billion parameters ).
