Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run Me Llama 13B?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 535k 7.7-9.1 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 615k 15.3-18.3 t/s ~0.6-0.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 650k 27.4-32.6 t/s ~1-1.2 (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 Me Llama 13B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~27.4-32.6 tok/s and fits up to 650k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1-1.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 650k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
