NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang reflected on a defining moment in AI history: on August 9, 2016, he personally delivered NVIDIA’s first DGX-1 AI supercomputer to Elon Musk and the OpenAI team, signing it with "To the future of computing and humanity."
Fast forward ten years, during a visit to SpaceX, Huang presented Musk with the new DGX Spark. He noted that this tiny desktop computer delivers 1 PFLOP of NVFP4 compute at just 200W—offering 5x the performance of the original DGX-1.
