At the NVIDIA GTC conference this week, 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.

At the event, Dell announced support for NVIDIA NemoClaw and NVIDIA OpenShell, expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to advance secure, autonomous AI agents. NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open source stack that simplifies running OpenClaw always-on assistants. As part of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, it installs the NVIDIA OpenShell, an open source runtime providing a secure environment for running autonomous agents, and open source models like NVIDIA Nemotron.

According to the company, the Dell Pro Max workstation 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, providing 20 petaFLOPS of performance and 748GB of memory.

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 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. 

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. According to Dell, frontier-level model performance allows agents to run completely locally without connection to the cloud, delivering fast response times, stronger data privacy and reliable operation even without internet connectivity. Dell’s MaxCool technology maintains optimal temperature by removing heat up to five times more efficiently.

“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.”
