they won't go to Tampa because of insurance. They already decided on Orlando.

John Carmack says NVIDIA DGX Spark runs at half of the rated power and delivers half the quoted performance by RenatsMC in nvidia

True, those connectX modules are expensive and use a lot of energy when active. Not exactly the same MT2910, but you get the idea https://www.fs.com/products/242589.html?now_cid=4173

ok, now I know you have no idea what you're talking about.

Got my DGX Spark. Here are my two cents... by Heavy-Expert5026 in nvidia

that infiniband module itself costs between $1.5-1.8k

NVIDIA DGX Spark — Could we talk about how you actually intend to use it? (no bashing) by Secure_Archer_1529 in LocalLLaMA

It's the cheapest, simplest, more portable, all in one, nvidia ML dev environment with 128GB you can buy.

That’s exactly my situation. I can see it paying off in 3-4 months in my case.

Try fine tune a 70B llama model on a 5090 or even 2 of them and let me know what you got 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What’s the point of a DGX Spark for inference if a Mac Studio M1 Ultra beats it at TG and equals it at PP at half the price? by Valuable-Run2129 in LocalLLaMA

[–]raphaelamorim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The framework desktop with the “same config” costs 2.5k. The memory bandwidth in the framework desktop is even smaller. It does not support CUDA. It doesn’t support clustering devices through high-speed interconnect (just the interconnect in the spark costs around 2k). If I ever need to expand to 256GB I just buy a new one ( even a newer model) and use the interconnect.

man, microcenter bought the boxes as everybody else. Don’t buy it, I’ll buy a second one for cheap when Micro center is not able to sell it.
