Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run gte-modernbert?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
gte-modernbert on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1730k | 668.8-797 t/s | ~24.5-29.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1733k | 1337.5-1594 t/s | ~49-58.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1734k | 2388.4-2846.5 t/s | ~87.5-104.3 (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 gte-modernbert?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2388.4-2846.5 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~87.5-104.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
