I have an access to a DGX spark, and while it performs better than my MacBook Pro (M3 Max), the performance on Qwen and Gemma dense models is dog shit, and not worth it.

Performance with Strix Halo isn't there, either. At least I got mine relatively cheap in 2025, before the run up in prices...

Not fun part is I didn’t get mine and I don’t think prices will go down in next 5 years.
