The NVIDIA GB200 combines the 72-core Grace CPU with the Blackwell GPU architecture to deliver 30x faster LLM inference performance.

The Grace-Blackwell Superchip (GB200) integrates the ARM-based Grace CPU with the high-performance Blackwell GPU via a 900GB/s bidirectional NVLink-C2C interconnect. This unified memory architecture eliminates traditional PCIe bottlenecks, enabling the system to handle massive 27-trillion-parameter models. By pairing 72 Blackwell GPUs in a single NVL72 rack configuration, the platform achieves a 25x reduction in total cost of ownership and energy consumption compared to the previous H100 generation. It is the definitive hardware standard for generative AI training and real-time inference at scale.

### [Personal AI Supercomputers: From Cloud Dependency to Local AI](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_k6HVVqqlz3s)

AI development is entering a new era where developers no longer need massive cloud clusters to build and run advanced models. A new class of AI-native personal supercomputers, powered by NVIDIA’s Grace-Blackwell architecture, is bringing datacenter-grade AI capabilities directly to the developer desk. In this talk, we will explore how systems like NVIDIA DGX Spark and Lenovo ThinkStation PGX are reshaping the way AI engineers prototype, train, and deploy models locally — from large language models to multimodal and agentic AI systems. We will explain the architecture behind the GB10 Grace-Blackwell superchip, unified memory systems, and the NVIDIA AI software stack that makes these platforms powerful tools for experimentation and enterprise AI development. This session will answer key questions such as: Why are AI personal supercomputers emerging as a new category of computing? What problems do developers face today with cloud-only AI development? How do DGX Spark and Lenovo ThinkStation PGX enable developers to run models up to hundreds of billions of parameters locally? How does unified memory and low-precision computing (FP4/FP8) accelerate modern AI workloads? What role does the NVIDIA AI ecosystem (NeMo, NIM, Blueprints, CUDA libraries) play in building AI agents and applications? How does the AI development workflow evolve from prototyping to deployment across personal, enterprise, and cloud systems? We will also demonstrate how these systems enable developers to move seamlessly from experimentation to production-scale AI while maintaining performance, security, and cost efficiency.

### [From Laptop to Supercluster: The New Era of Personal AI Supercomputing](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_tpKMaxLqXkQ)

AI development is shifting rapidly from centralized cloud infrastructure to powerful local AI systems that enable developers to build, test, and run large models directly on their desks. Lenovo’s new AI workstation portfolio powered by NVIDIA Blackwell and Grace-Blackwell architectures introduces a new class of systems—from compact personal AI appliances to multi-GPU developer workstations capable of running hundreds-billion-parameter models locally. This talk explores how AI development is moving closer to the developer, enabling faster iteration, lower cloud costs, and new experimentation workflows. We will walk through the new Lenovo AI workstation stack, including the ThinkStation PGX (Grace-Blackwell GB10 superchip) and Blackwell GPU developer workstations, and explain how these systems scale from personal AI experimentation to enterprise-grade model development. Questions the Talk Will Answer What does “personal AI supercomputing” actually mean for developers? How large of an AI model can realistically run locally on a workstation today? When should developers use local AI vs cloud GPU clusters? How do systems like PGX, P3, P5, P7, and PX map to different AI workloads? What does the Grace-Blackwell architecture change in AI workstation design? How can developers prototype and iterate faster using local AI hardware?
