Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run Karakuri LM?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Karakuri LM on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 133k | 2.8-3.4 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 227k | 5.1-6.1 t/s | ~0.2-0.2 (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 Karakuri LM?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~5.1-6.1 tok/s and fits up to 227k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.2-0.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 227k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
