What we need is more diversity in the space. Something between the Jetson and this thing, at under $1000 that can run in a LAN to do LLM, STT, TTS, etc. would be an awesome (if niche) device to enable truly local / private AI scenarios for privacy-sensitive folks.
Nvidia's Project Digits is a 'personal AI supercomputer'

#12I feel this is bigger than the 5x series GPUs. Given the craze around AI/LLMs, this can also potentially eat into Apple’s slice of the enthusiast AI dev segment once the M4 Max/Ultra Mac minis are released. I sure wished I held some Nvidia stocks, they seem to be doing everything right in the last few years!
I think the enthusiast side of things is a negligible part of the market. That said, enthusiasts do help drive a lot of the improvements to the tech stack so if they start using this, it’ll entrench NVIDIA even more.
today’s enthusiast, grad student, hacker is tomorrow’s startup founder, CEO, CTO or 10x contributor in large tech company

#13Nvidia releases a Linux desktop supercomputer that's better price/performance wise than anything Wintel is doing and their whole new software stack will only run on WSL2. They aren't porting to Win32. Wow, it may actually be the year of Linux on the Desktop.
Where does it say they won't be supporting Win32?

Yeah, it's more about preempting competitors from attracting any ecosystem development than the revenue itself.

If I were NVidia, I would be throwing everything I could at making entertainment experiences that need one of these to run...
I mean, this is awfully close to being "Her" in a box, right?

Here he says that in order for the cloud and the PC to be compatible, he's going to only support WSL2, the Windows subsystem for Linux which is a Linux API on top of Windows.
Here's a link to the part of the keynote where he says this:

“Bigger” in what sense? For AI? Sure, because this an AI product. 5x series are gaming cards.

Yeah starting at $3,000. Surely a cheap desktop computer to buy for someone who just wants to surf the web and send email /s.
There is a reason why it is for "enthusiasts" and not for the general wider consumer or typical PC buyer.

#19This seems surprisingly cheap for what you get! Excited to see what people cook with this

I feel like a lot of people miss that Her was a dystopian future, not an ideal to hit.
Also, it’s $3000. For that you could buy subscriptions to OpenAI etc and have the dystopian partner everywhere you go.
