With the NVIDIA AI software stack, it gives developers an easy path to prototype, fine-tune, and deploy AI agents locally, then scale seamlessly to the cloud. Delivering up to 1 PetaFLOP of FP4 AI performance and 128 GB of unified memory, the Veriton GN100 is an ideal workstation for running and deploying NemoClaw, NVIDIA&rsquo;s standard for secure AI agentic workflow development.</p><p>NVIDIA NemoClaw uses open source models&mdash;like <a href=\"https://developer.nvidia.com/nemotron\">NVIDIA Nemotron</a>&mdash;alongside the <a href=\"https://build.nvidia.com/openshell\">NVIDIA OpenShell runtime</a>, to simplify and secure personal AI agent development.</p><p>OpenShell enables developers to run a broad range of long-running autonomous agentic AI systems&mdash;the next wave of AI development &mdash;inside secure development sandboxes, without modifying application code, including popular coding agents and agent platforms such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode.</p><p>These agents can go beyond completing individual tasks: they can autonomously plan multi-step work, invoke specialized sub-agents, and learn to use advanced technical tools through configuration and workflow design. This opens the door for companies to equip employees with highly specialized AI capabilities across a wide range of workflows, from spreadsheets and presentation software to CAD, 3D modeling, and visual production tools.</p><p>Security and control are built in from the start. Agents can be configured to begin with zero permissions, and developers explicitly approve access based on intent and governance policies. This gives teams precise control over what agents can do, while supporting private inference environments and cost-efficient deployment models, including local or hybrid inference, to reduce reliance on per-token cloud execution.</p><p> For more information, please visit NemoClaw <a href=\"https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuild.nvidia.com%2Fnemoclaw&amp;data=05%7C02%7CAndrew.Bavelock%40acer.com%7C808313f8d7be4e04a85808de8e03b217%7C305675dfdc394b668034b8e7a8cb798c%7C0%7C0%7C639104343711203939%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=A4vZbdVxPyYh4Zb68l7ZXMMT%2FwCFzHJWE7zGI8ocL0g%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><strong>playbook</strong></a><a href=\"https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuild.nvidia.com%2Fnemoclaw&amp;data=05%7C02%7CAndrew.Bavelock%40acer.com%7C808313f8d7be4e04a85808de8e03b217%7C305675dfdc394b668034b8e7a8cb798c%7C0%7C0%7C639104343711203939%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=A4vZbdVxPyYh4Zb68l7ZXMMT%2FwCFzHJWE7zGI8ocL0g%3D&amp;reserved=0\"> at build.nvidia.com</a> or <a href=\"https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FNVIDIA%2FNemoClaw&amp;data=05%7C02%7CAndrew.Bavelock%40acer.com%7C808313f8d7be4e04a85808de8e03b217%7C305675dfdc394b668034b8e7a8cb798c%7C0%7C0%7C639104343711222453%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=CXhNtDL%2Bn8ACZBDwpFwNk8We6p3VGGCWFMplZ2CjyKY%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><strong>NemoClaw on LIVE at GitHub</strong></a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Enabling Developers With New Capabilities</strong></p><p>The Veriton GN100 now supports up to four connected systems using a RoCE 200 GbE switch, doubling the previous limit of two, enabling developers to run larger AI models&mdash;up to 700 billion parameters versus 405 billion before. The result is more capacity for advanced local inference, multi-agent workflows, and complex AI development, while preserving the privacy, control, and cost advantages of on-premises deployment.</p><p>Event participants will also have the chance to experiment with Acer&rsquo;s newly launched platform Acer Sense Pro, equipped on the Veriton GN100. The proprietary system management software provides a clear, centralized way to monitor and troubleshoot systems through a single streamlined interface. Combining real-time visibility, hardware tuning, and AI-powered technical support, the application enables teams to track CPU, GPU, storage, and memory through a professional dashboard for convenient insight into overall system health and performance trends. </p><p>Acer Sense Pro also provides inferencing performance benchmarks, including Token per Second (TPS) and Time to First Token (TTFT), displayed in intuitive vertical bar charts for clear, at-a-glance analysis. Its generated context benchmark tools help developers balance intelligence and perceived latency, enabling them to fine-tune scenario-based user experiences for the best fit.</p><p>In addition, built-in self-diagnostic tools, a community-driven knowledge base, and a local AI agent help identify, explain, and quickly resolve hardware issues privately, while enhanced benchmarking capabilities help accelerate AI development by making model evaluation faster and more actionable. Users can seamlessly compare multiple AI models to assess speed and output quality, making it easier to select the most effective engine for each task. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/241b703c-f96b-4a6d-a3ad-30ab272609a6/-/crop/1306x808/151,430/-/preview/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation\"\n                id=\"image-241b703c-f96b-4a6d-a3ad-30ab272609a6\"\n                data-id=\"241b703c-f96b-4a6d-a3ad-30ab272609a6\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/241b703c-f96b-4a6d-a3ad-30ab272609a6/-/crop/1306x808/151,430/-/preview/-/inline/no/Acer-Veriton-GN100-AI-Mini-Workstation_03.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/241b703c-f96b-4a6d-a3ad-30ab272609a6/-/crop/1306x808/151,430/-/preview/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p><strong>The Spark Hack Series &ndash; New York Powered by Acer Veriton GN100</strong></p><p>Co-hosted by <a href=\"https://www.antler.co/\">Antler</a>, a leading global inception stage investor, the event brings together frontier builders, applied ML engineers, systems engineers, and startup teams to create AI-driven solutions with real-world impact, across three tracks spanning human, social, and economic challenges. Powered by <a href=\"https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/data/?utm_source=luma\">open data from the City of New York</a>, the challenges invite teams to address critical aspects of urban life and community development. The human impact challenge targets improvements in health, safety, and economic opportunity for residents. The environmental impact challenge tackles sustainability by rethinking energy use, waste management, and movement through the city. The cultural impact challenge uses data to increase access to cultural and recreational resources and to help preserve the city&rsquo;s diverse neighborhood histories. Up to 40 teams of 3-4 participants will compete using Veriton GN100 and collaborate alongside New York&rsquo;s technology community. The three winning teams will each receive a Veriton GN100 to keep, ensuring they have the on-premises compute to continue developing and deploying their solutions after the event.</p><p>The Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation is available now globally.
