During his GTC address this morning, Huang stated, “We are at the iPhone moment for AI.” He was keen to note out NVIDIA’s contribution to the emergence of this AI wave: in 2016, he personally delivered a DGX AI supercomputer to OpenAI, which later served as the foundation for ChatGPT. The DGX systems have evolved over time, but many businesses haven’t been able to afford them (the DGX A100 sold in 2020 for $200,000, which was half the cost of its predecessor!). What about the rest of the world?
This is where NVIDIA’s brand-new DGX Cloud, a (obviously) online method of using the power of its AI supercomputers, comes into play. It’s designed to be a more adaptable solution for businesses to scale up their AI needs, starting at just $36,999 a month for a single node. Since they are all managed by NVIDIA’s Base Command software, DGX Cloud may also cooperate with on-site DGX devices.
