FP16 yes 1727k 403.4-480.8 t/s ~14.8-17.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1731k 806.8-961.6 t/s ~29.6-35.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 1733k 1440.8-1717.1 t/s ~52.8-62.9 (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-Doc (247M)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1440.8-1717.1 tok/s and fits up to 1733k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~52.8-62.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1733k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
