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: 26.2 tok/s decode · 7.4s TTFT (warm) · 66 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 Llama 3.2 11B Vision?

Yes, NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB can run Llama 3.2 11B Vision with a B grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 26.2 tok/s.

How much VRAM does Llama 3.2 11B Vision need?

Llama 3.2 11B Vision (11B parameters) requires approximately 22.9 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.

What is the best quantization for Llama 3.2 11B Vision?

The recommended quantization for Llama 3.2 11B Vision is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.

What speed will Llama 3.2 11B Vision run at on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, Llama 3.2 11B Vision achieves approximately 26.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 7377ms using Q4_K_M quantization.

Can NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB run Llama 3.2 11B Vision for coding?

For coding workloads, Llama 3.2 11B Vision on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB receives a B grade with 26.2 tok/s and 16K context.

What context window can Llama 3.2 11B Vision use on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB?

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, Llama 3.2 11B Vision can safely use up to 16K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 16K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.

Is unified memory on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB as fast as VRAM for Llama 3.2 11B Vision?

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.
