Yet it seems these trading headwinds were just temporary chop, as the market caps of the Virtuals and AI ecosystems have rebounded 8% in the past day alone, to $4.9B and $1.95B respectively.

This week at this year's event, Nvidia particularly wowed with its **[**new tiny AI supercomputer**](https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1876484153774158308)**. **

- **The hardware powerhouse introduced Project Digits**, a $3,000 computer that can fit in your hand and boasts performance metrics 1,000x more powerful than a regular laptop. 
- **Built around Nvidia's new GB10 Superchip**, the device will be optimized for training cutting-edge AI models locally. 
- **Training AI models at home is about to become much easier then**, as this kind of computing power once required expensive data centers or cloud credits. 
- **This dynamic will pave the way to **"**agents** **in your pocket**," i.e. an adoption surge of AI agents that people run privately, locally, and personally tailored to their own data. 
- **These personal agents can become your portal to everything online and onchain**, so keep your eyes peeled for when Project Digits hits the market in May 2025—it's poised to be a serious gamechanger.
