With Nvidia announcing the RTX Spark today, I revisited my quick comment from last year about the DGX Spark. It appears the price went from $4k to $4700 since then. Mac Studio price hasn’t changed.
No pricing yet for the RTX. It has better specs, but you’ve gotta run Linux or Windows.
Of course hardly anyone needs a computer with 128 GB of RAM. I’m only interested in following this because some new things are possible when users have (let’s say) 24 GB. With memory so expensive right now, and cloud-based AI continuing to outpace everything else, local AI models will be somewhat limited. I think more apps could adopt a hybrid approach of using both cloud AI and local when possible.
