Slow response with DGX Spark locally

Unfortunately, you dropped $4k for an inference server with anemic bandwidth (273 GB/s). To put that in perspective, that's 24 GB/s less than Apple's M5 Pro chip. If you run a dense model like gemma4:31b with that bandwidth, you're gonna have a bad time. You need an MoE model with a quant optimized

ASUS opens up purchase of its Ascent GX10 to people with reservations. Undercuts the DGX Spark by $1000 dollars. Only spec difference is +3TB NVMe drive on the Spark.

Honestly it's fairly niche. It's meant for local LLM development/testing when working with large datasets (that's why it comes with 200Gb/s networking). But it's actually pretty damn bad at actually running LLMs (as in, you can load a large model but it's really slow), you want a beefier workstation

How does the new nvidia dgx spark compare to Minisforum MS-S1 MAX ?

You buy it to run 200b parameter mode

How does the new nvidia dgx spark compare to Minisforum MS-S1 MAX ?

Training using the full Nvidia professional stack absolutely justifies it for a certain demographic. You're not it. You aren't going to train anything on a 5070ti with 256GB/s memory bandwidth. Also training is done with Fp16 so 128GB RAM limits you to about 60B parameters. People doing training use
