Gigabyte has unveiled the AI TOP AERO, a desktop about the size of a litre carton that it pitches as a personal AI studio for running models locally, editing video and playing games. It has not published a price or an on-sale date.
Inside is Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X Superchip. It joins a 20-core Grace processor and a Blackwell graphics unit with 6,144 CUDA cores on one chip, and both draw on the same 128GB of LPDDR5X memory. That shared pool is the difference from an ordinary PC, where the processor and the graphics card keep separate memory, and it matters for local AI work because models are limited by how much memory they can reach.
Gigabyte’s reasoning is that more people now want a machine on their own desk where they can run their own models, process their data and test applications, instead of renting time in a data centre. The 1-litre body is meant to let it sit beside a monitor or travel in a bag.
Storage goes up to 4TB on a PCIe 5.0 SSD. For connections Gigabyte lists 10G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and several fast USB ports, and the rear of the case in its pictures also shows USB4 and HDMI.
The graphics unit supports DLSS 5.0 for games and works with the ComfyUI tool for building image-generation workflows. Nvidia Broadcast and RTX Video come with it for creators. Gigabyte sells it in the same AI TOP range as the AI TOP ATOM, another compact machine aimed at local AI.
Configurations, and with them the price of the 128GB and 4TB top version, will be listed on Gigabyte’s press page and product pages once sales start.
