124B model achieves 38.7 tok/s on single DGX Spark, outperforming DeepSeek V4 Flash

A user named sudoingX benchmarked a 124B parameter model on a single DGX Spark, achieving 38.7 tokens/second on the optimized INT4 path. This performance was found to be 2.4 times faster than DeepSeek V4 Flash on the same hardware. The user initially reported issues with the official quantizations on a single Spark but later corrected this, confirming it as their fastest option. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates significant performance gains for large models on consumer-grade hardware, potentially influencing hardware choices and model optimization strategies.
