ASUS and Hugging Face Partner on Desktop AI Robotics with NVIDIA-Powered Reachy Mini

March 20, 2026
ASUS and Hugging Face have announced a collaboration at NVIDIA GTC 2026 to bring embodied AI to the desktop through the Reachy Mini robot and the ASUS Ascent GX10 system, powered by NVIDIA technology. The partnership aims to make local, privacy-focused robotics development more accessible to developers.

ASUS and Hugging Face have announced a collaboration at NVIDIA GTC 2026 to make embodied AI robotics more accessible, according to a press release. The partnership introduces the Reachy Mini tabletop robot powered by the ASUS Ascent GX10, a desktop AI system built on NVIDIA technology.

The ASUS Ascent GX10 uses the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, providing 1 PFLOP of AI compute and 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory. This allows robotics models to run locally without relying on cloud infrastructure, enabling real-time performance and maintaining data privacy.

At the GTC event in San Jose, ASUS and Hugging Face are demonstrating how the Ascent GX10 and Reachy Mini can work together as a complete desktop AI agent. The system is designed to help developers build and test embodied AI applications directly on their desks.

To mark the launch, ASUS is offering a $100 discount on the ASUS Ascent GX10 for Reachy Mini users. The promotion runs from March 16 through June 30, 2026.
