Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run AntiFormer?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
AntiFormer on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1734k | 4039-4813.6 t/s | ~147.9-176.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1735k | 8078-9627.3 t/s | ~295.9-352.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1735k | 14425.1-17191.5 t/s | ~528.4-629.7 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run AntiFormer?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~14425.1-17191.5 tok/s and fits up to 1735k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~528.4-629.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1735k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
