Combining NVIDIA DGX Spark + Apple Mac Studio for 4x Faster LLM Inference with EXO 1.0
Disaggregating Prefill and Decode: Faster First Tokens, Faster Streams

Alex Cheema on Twitter / X
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
NVIDIA DGX Spark In-Depth Review: A New Standard for Local AI Inference
Thanks to NVIDIA’s early access program, we are thrilled to get our hands on the NVIDIA DGX™ Spark. It’s quite an unconventional system, as NVIDIA rarely releases compact, all-in-one machines that bri...

Multiple NVIDIA GPUs or Apple Silicon for Large Language Model Inference?
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.

NVIDIA and Microsoft Reinvent Windows PCs for the Age of Personal AI
RTX Spark — a 1-Petaflop Superchip, the Full CUDA and RTX Ecosystem, and Windows-Native Agents — a New Beginning for Personal Computers News Summary: NVIDIA RTX Spark powers the world’s first Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agents, featuring 1 petaflop of AI performance, industry-leading power efficiency, full-stack NVIDIA AI and graphics technology, and up to 128GB of unified memory. NVIDIA and Microsoft collaborate to deliver a native Windows experience for personal agents, including new security primitives and NVIDIA OpenShell to run agents securely on primary devices. RTX Spark lets creators, AI developers and gamers render ultralarge 90GB+ 3D scenes, edit 12K 4:2:2 video, generate 4K AI videos, run 120B-parameter LLMs with up to 1 million tokens context using agents locally, and play AAA games at 1440p and over 100 frames per second. Adobe is rearchitecting Photoshop and Premiere from the ground up for RTX Spark to deliver 2x faster AI and graphics performance. RTX
