Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run GPT-Neo-125M?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1731k 797.2-950 t/s ~29.2-34.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 1733k 1594.3-1900.1 t/s ~58.4-69.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1734k 2847-3393 t/s ~104.3-124.3 (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 GPT-Neo-125M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2847-3393 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~104.3-124.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
