BAC - your friendly lobster from Nvidia

On Weds Oct 14th 2026 Nvidia held their Build a Claw event in London,

There were lots of Nvidia Spark DGX workstations connected to ASUS ProART monitors as well as ASUS Ascent GX10 systems (basically the same reference design with a different box) both with an Nvidia GB10 with 128GB of unified memory.

Though not demonstrated it’s possible to connect 4 together using high speed USB or 2 unified systems over Nvidia’s proprietary interface.

Internally there’s also an SSD which holds the operating system (Linux).

The whole point of the event was to demonstrate what local agents could do running local models, healthcare, controlling video feeds while doing local recognition, controlling local LED strips and robots.

Jensen Huang even made an appearance to give away a DGX Spark and Spark laptop.

Though unified memory is a good idea for speed - there are flaws and if the model consumed all the memory the systems would lock-up and require a hard reboot, which happened quite a lot.

The model that was running locally were quen variants (possibly nvidia/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP4-Local) - response was reasonably good and someone asked it to build an HTML game and a few minutes later it did indeed come out with a (semi) working game - it was then asked to make a 3D variant and about 10 minutes later the system locked up.

For local models they are quite impressive though, if you can afford the 5 grand to buy a system.

The main advantage is keeping all your data local and not handed off to “the man”.

Nice if you can afford it, though there are other alternatives coming out.

Other vendors are Acer and Dell.
