Unveiling Project DIGITS
The startup world across East Africa is going full throttle in AI-driven solutions for the African people, but the question remains: Are we truly ready for large-scale AI adoption? Won’t we become like builders constructing on sand if we lack the foundational infrastructure to support this massive shift?That’s where Yuhi Technologies steps in.
Our expertise lies not only in AI software solutions but in the robust infrastructure behind emerging technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integral to Africa’s digital transformation, we are committed to ensuring that our region does not lag due to inadequate computing power.
Today, we are excited to announce our venture into large-scale data center infrastructure and our mission to bring cutting-edge computing power to every AI developer’s work desk. A pivotal step in this journey is NVIDIA's Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer poised to revolutionize AI accessibility and performance.
Announced at CES 2025, Project DIGITS is NVIDIA’s groundbreaking initiative to bring supercomputing capabilities directly to individual workspaces. Priced at $3,000 and available from May, this compact device is designed to fit on a desk and operate using a standard power outlet, making advanced AI computing more accessible than ever.
Grace Blackwell Superchip: At its core lies the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision. This ensures that users can run sophisticated AI models with remarkable efficiency.
Memory and Storage: Equipped with 128 GB of unified system memory and up to 4 TB of NVMe storage, Project DIGITS can handle AI models comprising up to 200 billion parameters, facilitating complex computations and data processing tasks.
Scalability: For projects demanding greater power, two Project DIGITS systems can be interconnected, enabling the management of models with up to 405 billion parameters, offering scalability to meet evolving AI requirements.
AI is the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution, and infrastructure is its foundation. While many focus on software applications, Yuhi Technologies is taking the lead in AI infrastructure, ensuring that Rwanda is not just a consumer of AI but a creator and leader in the field.By embracing innovations like Project DIGITS, we are bridging the AI infrastructure gap, empowering African developers to build AI solutions on solid ground, not sand.
Let’s shape the future together.🚀
For Yuhi Technologies, Project DIGITS presents a significant opportunity to advance Rwanda’s AI capabilities in multiple ways:
1. Accelerating AI Research and Development: With Project DIGITS, AI engineers and researchers can train and deploy models faster, reducing reliance on cloud-based GPUs and external data centers. This empowers local AI innovation and reduces operational costs.
2. Enabling AI Skill Development: By integrating cutting-edge AI computing into local training programs, universities, and tech hubs, we can equip Rwanda’s next generation of AI talent with the tools needed to build world-class AI solutions right here at home.
3. Strengthening Rwanda’s Position as an AI HubAs Rwanda continues to invest in AI-driven solutions, Yuhi Technologies is ensuring that businesses, researchers, and developers have the computational power they need to drive meaningful innovation in healthcare, fintech, agriculture, and beyond.
