User considers 4x Ascend GX10 GPUs for future open-source LLMs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is considering purchasing four Ascend GX10 GPUs to run future open-source large language models, such as a potential "fable 5" release. They cite performance benchmarks from others using similar hardware (4x DGX Sparks) with GLM5.2, noting speeds of 400-500 tokens/second for prompt processing and around 15 tokens/second for output at a 128k context window. While acknowledging this isn't blazing fast, the user finds it usable, especially with quantization, and wants to be prepared for upcoming models. AI
