Excited to collab with @ashxhart on this!Why does prefill/decode disaggregation work on DGX Spark + Mac ?DGX Spark: ~350 TFLOPS@fp4, 128GB@273GB/sM5 Max MacBook Pro: ~70 TFLOPS@fp4, 128GB@614GB/sPrefill is compute-bound. Prefill on Spark runs ~5x faster than M5 Max.Decode… https://t.co/xl9l0ArRhs— Alex Cheema (@alexocheema) August 19, 2026

A custom local engine that improves prefill and decode throughput

NVIDIA GPUs Work on macOS Again. The Driver Is a Miracle. The Inference Is Not.
We benchmarked an RTX 3090 over USB4 and profiled every kernel. GPUs use 1.2-1.6% of their memory bandwidth. The bottleneck is the compiler, not the cable.

For dual DGX spark users; GLM 5.3 flash got a 50%+ performance boost
For the last few months, I ran DeepSeek v4.0 flash (NVFP4). First 0731, then visionexp because it was a free improvement. I got around 65 tps decode…
