NVIDIA DGX Spark
by NVIDIA
#2 in AI computers & workstationsBest for CUDA
The one I'd get to build with CUDA. 128GB of unified memory handles models up to 200B parameters, and it ships with NVIDIA's AI software stack.
What’s good
- 1 PFLOP of FP4 in a 1.2 kg box
- Runs models up to 200B parameters
- Link up to four over ConnectX-7
Heads-up
- Out of stock at NVIDIA; resellers charge more
- Less memory bandwidth than a Mac Studio
