Dell Unveils AI-Ready Workstations at NVIDIA GTC

At the NVIDIA GTC 2026, held in San Jose in March, Dell Technologies announced a new lineup of professional workstations, as well as the first desktop system to ship with NVIDIA GB300 for autonomous AI agents. The company also announced the new Dell AI Platform with NVIDIA and other enhancements to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. Combined, the new hardware, software and services will increase engineers’ ability to leverage AI in simulation and design tasks, and to incorporate physical AI into those designs.

In addition, Dell announced support for NVIDIA NemoClaw and NVIDIA OpenShell, expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to advance secure, autonomous AI agents that can automate tasks. NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open source reference stack that adds privacy and security controls to OpenClaw. It installs the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, part of NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, to provide a secure, sandboxed environment for running autonomous agents with no code changes. 

Introducing the Dell Pro Max with GB300

According to the company, the Dell Pro Max models with GB10 and GB300 provide “purpose-built desktop platforms that allow enterprises to build and run autonomous, self-evolving agents locally with frontier-level intelligence.” Dell will be the first OEM to ship a desktop with the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip.

Dell GB10 and GB300 are based on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture…… specs here. They support compute-intensive AI engineering, simulation and local development workflows. The GB300 supports up to 1 trillion parameter models for AI training, inferencing and simulation. Developers can build, run, and optimize new solutions around the clock with autonomous agents with frontier-level intelligence.

For AI Developers, the Dell Pro Max with GB300 provides the means to develop and fine tune physical AI models and incorporate intelligence into robotics systems, as well as other types of autonomous systems like cars and industrial machines. Using computer vision and sensor data, manufacturers can also leverage AI to predict equipment failure and establish preventive maintenance schedules, and to develop digital twins.

At the event, Charlie Walker, Product Manager, Dell Technologies, demonstrated the Dell Pro Max tower with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Ultra GB300 superchip. “It’s the same chip you would find in a data center, so you can now execute the same agentic AI-powered tasks on premise without going to the cloud,” Walker said. “You can use it for a small office or a work group.”

In a pre-brief before the event, Walker said the new GB10 and GB300-powered computers could be used in a variety of scenarios. “You can take some of the load off the data center and put that work at the deskside,” he said. “We can also envision a smaller company using it as their local LLM host.”

The Dell Pro Max with GB300 has up to 20 petaFLOPS of FP4 performance and 748GB of coherent memory, and enables autonomous agents at trillion-parameter scale. The unit also features Dell’s MaxCool, which can remove heat up to five times more efficiently.

Dell AI Platform with NVIDIA

This year marks the second anniversary of Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, and the company announced new advancements, including the availability of new AI-ready workstations and server products, as well as the Dell AI Data Platform. The Dell AI Factory combines Dell data center and workstation hardware with software and services to develop and deploy generative AI at scale. Manufacturers can leverage the technology for creating factory-level or system-level digital twins; analysis and simulation of fleets of autonomous vehicles or robots; and for large-scale autonomous design tasks. 

Data management and indexing are significant obstacles when it comes to new AI deployments, so Dell and NVIDIA have collaborated on the Dell AI Data Platform with NVIDIA, which company says can activate enterprise data for AI “while maintaining security, governance, and best-in-class performance at scale.” This can provide significant speedups for vector indexing, data processing and time-to-first-token compared to traditional approaches.

The Dell Data Orchestration Engine automatically discovers, labels and enriches data (structured, unstructured and multimodal) into AI-read data sets at scale. The solution also provides users with a library of pre-built NVIDIA blueprints and NIM microservices, along with the NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super model on Dell Enterprise Hub on Hugging Face. 

Dell will also support the NVIDIA STX modular reference design. A new AI Assistant in the Dell Data Analytics Engine adds a natural language interface into SQL analytics. Additionally, the introduction of NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs will “bring acceleration directly into the data platform layer,” the company said.

Deskside AI Performance

Dell also announced its new lineup of Pro Precision workstations. The new Pro Precision 9 Towers (available in T2, T4 and T6 configurations) provide deskside AI performance and visualization. 

The Pro Precision 9 T6 extends the T4 architecture and adds a full expansion bay, with up to 15 PCIe slots, support for 2× 600W or up to 5× 300W NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, and up to 316TB of maximum storage capacity.

The Pro Precision mobile workstations (5 and 7 Series, available in 14-in. Or 16-in. configurations) feature the latest Intel or AMD processors with faster NPUs.

The Dell Pro Max with GB10 can deliver up to 1 petaFLOP of FP4 AI performance in a compact, power-efficient system. It offers 128GB of coherent unified memory, allowing enterprises to run larger models and autonomous agents locally, scale to 4x configurations, and take advantage of the full NVIDIA AI software stack and ecosystem, the company said. 

“Autonomous agents are the next wave of AI, but enterprises won't deploy them unless they can run locally on sensitive data with strong security controls,” said Jeff Clarke, chief operating officer at Dell Technologies. “Our Dell Pro Max desktops and NVIDIA OpenShell help solve that. We're first to ship this capability, and it fundamentally changes how developers build and deploy AI.”
