Question 1

What is Dell Pro Max with NVIDIA GB10 and how is it different from a regular workstation?

Accepted Answer

Dell Pro Max with GB10 is a deskside AI supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB10 Superchip, featuring a 20-core Arm CPU, Blackwell GPU, and 128 GB unified memory. Unlike traditional workstations with separate CPU and GPU memory, GB10's unified architecture eliminates bottlenecks for large models and multimodal workloads. It ships with DGX OS and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, making it a true AI development platform, not just a powerful PC.

Question 2

How does Copilots.in extend NVIDIA DGX Spark on GB10?

Accepted Answer

DGX Spark provides the foundation (quickstarts for NIM, NeMo, RAG, CUDA-X), while Copilots Lab adds hardware-aware multi-agent orchestration, no-code agent builder, model registry, monitoring dashboards, and DPDP compliance tools. Think of DGX Spark as the engine and Copilots Lab as the complete vehicle with navigation, safety features, and support.

Question 3

Which AI workloads can I run on day one?

Accepted Answer

Out of the box, you can deploy: Local LLM chat (Open WebUI + Ollama), RAG applications using NIM and vector databases, Fine-tuning with NeMo and LLaMA Factory, Video analytics with VSS agents, Data science pipelines with cuDF, cuML, cuGraph, and Multi-agent chatbots and copilots. All blueprints are pre-tested on GB10 and ready to run within your first hour.

Question 4

How many parameters can a single GB10 support, and when do I need two nodes?

Accepted Answer

A single Dell Pro Max with GB10 can handle models up to approximately 200B parameters (like Llama 3 405B with quantization or optimization). By connecting two GB10 units via NVLink-C2C, you can work with models up to ~405B parameters at full precision. You'll want dual nodes when working with frontier models, large multimodal systems, or when serving multiple concurrent users on large models.

Question 5

How does GB10 reduce my cloud GPU spending?

Accepted Answer

For continuous AI workloads (8+ hours/day), owning a GB10 typically costs 60–90% less over 3 years than renting equivalent cloud GPUs. You avoid hourly GPU compute charges (₹200–500/hour on AWS/Azure/GCP), data egress fees (₹10–13K per TB), storage costs for datasets and models, and platform service fees (SageMaker, Vertex AI, etc.). Most teams see payback within 12–24 months, after which the GB10 is pure profit.

Question 6

Is GB10 suitable for regulated industries in India (BFSI, healthcare, government)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GB10 is ideal for regulated sectors because all data processing happens on-prem, meeting data residency requirements. DPDP Act compliance tools are built into Copilots Lab (audit trails, encryption, RBAC). No vendor lock-in or dependency on foreign cloud providers. Proven in similar environments: Nasdaq (finance), NYU (clinical research), government labs. You maintain full control and can demonstrate compliance during audits.

Question 7

How do I scale from GB10 to larger Dell AI Factory or DGX Cloud environments?

Accepted Answer

Workloads you build on GB10 using DGX Spark and NVIDIA AI Enterprise are container-based and portable. When you need more capacity: Scale to 2–4 GB10 nodes in your office, move containers to Dell PowerEdge AI servers or DGX systems in your data center, or burst to DGX Cloud for peak workloads. All use the same NVIDIA stack, so there's minimal refactoring. GB10 becomes your development sandbox while production runs at scale.

Question 8

What support do I receive with Copilots GB10 Lab?

Accepted Answer

Your package includes Dell hardware warranty (1 year standard, extendable), NVIDIA DGX Spark documentation and software updates, Copilots.in success program with 24/7 technical support, architecture consulting, quarterly optimization reviews, and training (50–150 hours depending on tier), plus access to community (2,500+ users), marketplace, and templates. You're not buying hardware alone—you're joining a complete AI ecosystem.

Question 9

Can we keep using cloud for some workloads while using GB10 for others?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many teams use GB10 as their development and low-latency inference node while keeping large-scale batch training or public-facing APIs in the cloud. DGX Spark and Copilots Lab support hybrid architectures, so you can develop and validate models on GB10, push containers to cloud for scale, and serve latency-sensitive or private workloads from GB10. This gives you flexibility without cloud lock-in.

Question 10

What skills does my team need to operate GB10 + Copilots Lab?

Accepted Answer

Basic requirements include familiarity with Python, Docker, and common ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face), plus understanding of API integration and data pipelines. DGX Spark quickstarts and Copilots Lab's no-code builder reduce the need for deep MLOps or infrastructure expertise. Most data-savvy teams become productive within 2–4 weeks, and we provide training to accelerate onboarding.

Question 11

How does GB10 compare to building a custom GPU workstation?

Accepted Answer

GB10 offers unified memory architecture (128 GB shared) vs separate CPU/GPU memory pools, DGX OS and NVIDIA AI Enterprise pre-installed and supported, optimized cooling and power efficiency in a compact form factor, official Dell + NVIDIA warranty and support, and portable workloads compatible with Dell AI Factory and DGX Cloud. A DIY workstation may cost less upfront but lacks the integrated software stack, support, and upgrade path GB10 provides.

Question 12

What happens when I need more compute power than 200B parameters?

Accepted Answer

You have three options: Bond two GB10 units to support ~405B parameters, add Dell PowerEdge AI servers or DGX systems to your on-prem setup, or burst to DGX Cloud for peak capacity. All use the same NVIDIA AI Enterprise stack, so your code and containers migrate seamlessly. Copilots.in helps you size and architect the right configuration.

Question 13

Can GB10 run non-LLM workloads like data science, optimization, and simulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CUDA-X libraries pre-installed on GB10 support data science with cuDF and cuML (accelerated pandas, scikit-learn), graph analytics with cuGraph (network analysis, fraud detection, recommendations), optimization with cuOpt (routing, scheduling, supply chain), genomics with Parabricks (variant calling, sequence alignment), physics with Modulus (physics-informed neural networks), and quantum simulation with cuQuantum. GB10 is a true AI + HPC platform, not just for LLMs.

Question 14

What's the typical ROI timeline, and when do we break even?

Accepted Answer

Most organizations see 12–24 months as the break-even point when comparing to equivalent cloud GPU usage, 18–36 months when they start generating profit as cloud costs avoided exceed GB10 investment, and immediate ROI through faster iteration (no queue times), better data control, and compliance benefits. Teams with heavy daily GPU usage or data-sensitivity requirements often justify the investment in under 12 months.

Question 15

Why not just use AWS/Azure/GCP? Isn't cloud more flexible?

Accepted Answer

Cloud is excellent for bursting to massive scale for short periods, teams with unpredictable or seasonal workloads, and organizations without on-prem infrastructure. GB10 is better when you run AI daily (8+ hours/day) for continuous development and inference, need sub-50ms latency for real-time applications, must keep data on-prem for compliance or IP protection, and want predictable costs and no vendor lock-in. Many teams use both: GB10 for development and private workloads, cloud for scale and public APIs. Copilots.in supports hybrid architectures.
