Can NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10) · 64 GB run DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (748B-A16B)?
64 GB unified · 273 GB/s memory bandwidth · DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (748B-A16B) has 748B parameters (16B active per token).
Short answer
No. It doesn't fit in memory.
Needs ≈428 GB but only ≈57 GB is available after the OS, other apps and Open WebUI.
Why it doesn’t fit
Even its smallest practical version (Q4_K_M) needs about 428 GB for the model, its context memory and the runtime. After the operating system (≈3.2 GB), a browser with a few tabs (≈3.0 GB) and Open WebUI (≈1.0 GB), NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10) · 64 GB has about 57 GB left, so it’s 371 GB short.
Ways to make it work
Close everything else
Not enough on its own: with every other app closed it’s still about 368 GB short.
