Planned software update adds external accelerator role to Nvidia's DGX Spark

At CES 2026, Nvidia revealed it is planning a software update for DGX Spark which will significantly extend the device's capabilities.

Powered by the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, Nvidia’s tiny powerhouse combines CPU and GPU cores with 128GB of unified memory, letting users load and run large language models locally without relying on cloud infrastructure.

The first reviews of the Spark, while universally positive, pointed out limitations with the software. This is something Nvidia is looking to address. A core part of the change will be expanded support for open-source AI frameworks and models.
