Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 220k 3.6-4.2 t/s ~0.1-0.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 327k 7.1-8.5 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 374k 12.7-15.1 t/s ~0.5-0.6 (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 ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~12.7-15.1 tok/s and fits up to 374k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.5-0.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 374k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
