If a desktop-sized cutting-edge AI data center is too big, there's also the compact ASUS Ascent GX10 - a palm-sized supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. With up to 1,000 AI TOPS of power and 128GB of system memory, ASUS notes that this mini-PC or mini-supercomputer can handle 200 billion parameter AI models.

If you want to work with even larger models, two ASUS Ascent GX10 systems can be connected using cutting-edge NVIDIA ConnectX-7 Network Technology to double their performance to support 400 billion parameter AI models.

ASUS notes that aspects of these systems are still in development, and more information on pricing availability will be available later this year.
