1st promptCold start — includes initialization
>Solve: If a train travels at 60 mph for 2.5 hours, how far does it go?
Let me work through this step by step. Given information: - Speed = 60 mph (miles per hour) - Time = 2.5 hours Formula: Distance = Speed x Time Calculation: Distance = 60 mph x 2.5 h = 150 miles The train travels 150 miles. Double-check: at 60 mph the train covers 60 miles each hour. In half an hour it covers 30 miles. So in 2.5 hours: 60 + 60 + 30 = 150 miles. Confirmed.
2nd promptWarm — model ready, no init overhead
>What if the train stops for 20 minutes halfway?
The stop doesn't change the total distance covered while moving, but it affects total trip time. Breakdown: - First half: 1.25 hours at 60 mph = 75 miles - Stop: 20 minutes (no distance) - Second half: 1.25 hours at 60 mph = 75 miles Total distance: 150 miles (same) Total time: 2.5 h + 0.33 h = 2.83 hours Average speed: 150 / 2.83 = 53 mph The distance stays the same but average speed drops to 53 mph because of the stop.
Estimated: 38.4 tok/s decode · 5.0s TTFT (warm) · 96 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.

Yes, NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB can run InternLM 7B with a B grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 38.4 tok/s.

How much VRAM does InternLM 7B need?

InternLM 7B (7B parameters) requires approximately 26.3 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.

What is the best quantization for InternLM 7B?

The recommended quantization for InternLM 7B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.

What speed will InternLM 7B run at on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, InternLM 7B achieves approximately 38.4 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 5047ms using Q4_K_M quantization.

Can NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB run InternLM 7B for coding?

For coding workloads, InternLM 7B on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB receives a B grade with 38.4 tok/s and 8K context.

What context window can InternLM 7B use on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, InternLM 7B can safely use up to 8K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 8K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.

Is unified memory on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB as fast as VRAM for InternLM 7B?

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.
