Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run BLOOM-7.1B?

Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

BLOOM-7.1B on the NVIDIA DGX Spark

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 760k 14.1-16.8 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 814k 28.2-33.6 t/s ~1-1.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 837k 50.3-60 t/s ~1.8-2.2 (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 BLOOM-7.1B?▶

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~50.3-60 tok/s and fits up to 837k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1.8-2.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?▶

At Q4, up to about 837k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
