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.
