Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run nesso 4B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
nesso 4B on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1613k | 24.9-29.7 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1674k | 49.8-59.4 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1701k | 89-106 t/s | ~3.3-3.9 (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 nesso 4B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~89-106 tok/s and fits up to 1701k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~3.3-3.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1701k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
