1st promptCold start — includes initialization
>What is local AI inference?
Local AI inference means running an AI language model directly on your own hardware — your laptop, desktop, or server — instead of sending requests to a remote cloud API. When you run inference locally the model weights are loaded into your GPU or unified memory. Each token you generate requires reading those weights from memory, so memory bandwidth is the main bottleneck for decode speed. Key benefits of running locally: - Full privacy: your prompts never leave your machine - No per-token cost or rate limits - Works offline once the model is downloaded - Latency depends only on your hardware
2nd promptWarm — model ready, no init overhead
>How much VRAM do I need?
It depends on the model size and quantization level. A rough rule of thumb: Model size Q4 (4-bit) Q8 (8-bit) FP16 7B params ~4.3 GB ~7.5 GB ~14 GB 13B params ~7.9 GB ~13.9 GB ~26 GB 70B params ~42.7 GB ~74.9 GB ~140 GB Most people use 4-bit quantization (Q4_K_M) which gives 90-95% of full quality at a fraction of the memory. A 24 GB GPU can comfortably run most 7B-13B models.
Estimated: 33.6 tok/s decode · 5.8s TTFT (warm) · 84 tok/s prefill

What limits this setup

This setup is broadly balanced for this model.

Shared-memory contention still exists

The OS, browser, and inference runtime all compete for the same physical memory pool, so real-world headroom is less forgiving than raw capacity suggests.

Frequently asked questions

Can NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB run EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct?

Yes, NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB can run EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct at F16 quantization (Runs well). The recommended Q4_K_M requires 2.9 GB which exceeds available memory, but at F16 it needs only 19.5 GB. Expected decode speed: 33.6 tok/s.

How much VRAM does EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct need?

EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct (2.4000000953674316B parameters) requires approximately 2.9 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, it fits at F16 using 19.5 GB.

What is the best quantization for EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct?

The recommended quantization is Q4_K_M, but on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB the best fitting quantization is F16, which uses 19.5 GB.

What speed will EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct run at on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct achieves approximately 33.6 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 5762ms using F16 quantization.

Can NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB run EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct for coding?

For coding workloads, EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB receives a F grade with 20.1 tok/s and 4K context.

What context window can EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct use on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct can safely use up to 5.1M tokens of context at F16 quantization. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.

Is unified memory on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB as fast as VRAM for EXAONE 3.5 2.4B Instruct?

Not always. NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB can often fit larger models thanks to unified memory, but a discrete GPU with dedicated high-bandwidth VRAM may still decode faster once the model fits. For this combination, the important distinction is capacity versus sustained throughput.
