Looking Beyond Spark — KV-Cache Arithmetic at Inference

The serving memory bill is not weights. It's KV cache, and KV scales with concurrent users × context length, not parameters. Same four bills as training; different weights. A 70B at 32 users × 16k context wants 168 GB just for KV — and the Spark teaches you the per-token math.

Your First NIM on a DGX Spark — What 24.8 Tokens Per Second Doesn't Tell You

First-contact notes on NVIDIA's DGX-Spark-specific Llama 3.1 8B NIM. 9.4 GB image, ~108 s warm-cache cold-start, 24.8 tok/s steady, OpenAI-compatible on :8000 — and a confidently wrong Python one-liner that clarifies what small-model FP8 buys and what it costs.
