1st promptCold start — includes initialization
>Write a Python function to sort a list
Here's a Python function that sorts a list using quicksort: def quicksort(arr): if len(arr) <= 1: return arr pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2] left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot] middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot] right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot] return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right) # Example usage numbers = [3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 1] print(quicksort(numbers)) # [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10] The algorithm picks a pivot, partitions the list into smaller, equal, and larger elements, then recursively sorts each partition and concatenates the results.
2nd promptWarm — model ready, no init overhead
>Now add type hints and a docstring
def quicksort(arr: list[int]) -> list[int]: """Sort a list using the quicksort algorithm. Args: arr: List of integers to sort. Returns: A new sorted list. """ if len(arr) <= 1: return arr pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2] left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot] middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot] right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot] return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right) Added type hints for the input and return type, plus a Google-style docstring.

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 DevStral 7B?

Yes, NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB can run DevStral 7B with a B grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 41.2 tok/s.

How much VRAM does DevStral 7B need?

DevStral 7B (7B parameters) requires approximately 20.5 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.

What is the best quantization for DevStral 7B?

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

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

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, DevStral 7B achieves approximately 41.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 4695ms using Q4_K_M quantization.

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

For coding workloads, DevStral 7B on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB receives a B grade with 41.2 tok/s and 8K context.

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

On NVIDIA DGX Spark 128GB, DevStral 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 DevStral 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.
