I don't want the future of local AI to be determined by who can rent the most GPUs or afford the largest training runs.
I want developers, independent researchers and enthusiasts to have the freedom to experiment, quantize, optimize and run powerful models on hardware they actually OWN.
NVIDIA's FP4-Local research showed me just how much potential remains in aggressive quantization.
My goal with SAGE-EXL3 is to keep pushing that frontier while making advanced quantization more practical for the wider community.
Today, I'm sharing the quantized checkpoint and the one-Spark serving recipe.

To be clear, this was a successful full-length retrieval test, not a claim of perfect accuracy across every possible long-context task.
And the 7.8-minute prefill is a real trade-off at that depth.
But seeing a model this large, with this level of compression, successfully retrieve information buried inside 518K tokens on ONE 128GB machine is an exciting milestone for local AI!

Just YESTERDAY, I shared my goal of bringing extremely aggressive, high-quality quantization to people who don't have access to massive compute clusters.
With the support of @AWERXAI, I've been working tirelessly to push that vision forward.
And now we're seeing a 1.62 bpw expert quant outperform higher-bitrate alternatives on actual tasks, not just token-level fidelity measurements.
This doesn't establish mathematical losslessness or superiority on every possible workload. These are matched subsets of nine benchmark suites, not full public leaderboard scores.

I measured my 1.62 bpw expert quant against DeepSeek's native FP4 release checkpoint using held-out sequences and full-vocabulary token predictions.
And when I saw the CODE results, I could barely believe it!

These are direct teacher-forced fidelity measurements against native FP8, not task-level pass rates.
But seeing this level of agreement at such aggressive compression is EXACTLY what I was working toward!

I don't want the future of local AI to be determined by who can rent the most GPUs or afford the largest training runs.
I want developers, independent researchers and enthusiasts to have the freedom to experiment, quantize, optimize and run powerful models on hardware they actually OWN.
NVIDIA's FP4-Local research showed me just how much potential remains in aggressive quantization.
My goal with SAGE-EXL3 is to keep pushing that frontier while making advanced quantization more practical for the wider community.
Today, I'm sharing the quantized checkpoint and the one-Spark serving recipe.

The token-level fidelity results are incredible, but I'm not stopping there.
I'm currently running a broader evaluation campaign to measure how closely this quant preserves the native FP8 model's actual task performance.

@mr_r0b0t and I have also been working on an GB10 specialized inference engine called ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ.
Early testing has been VERY exciting, including 60 tok/s with bursts reaching 74tok/s!
We're putting the finishing touches on it and making sure everything is solid before releasing it.
More on that VERY soon. ๐

To @nvidiaai for the FP4-Local research that inspired me to push this experiment even further.
To @justinn_builds for his initial vllm TP4 recipe that got me started in the right direction for loading this model up.
To @mr_r0b0t for collaborating with me on what's coming next!
And to @deepseek_ai for continuing to release powerful open-weight models that make community experiments like this possible.

Eugene (@eugr) joined NVIDIA back in May, and now Raphael (@raphafacts) and Drew (@DrewBotwinick) are joining too!
All three of us will be working on local AI engineering team at NVIDIA, but Spark Arena isn't going anywhere. We're excited to keep building, benchmarking, and growing this community together! ๐

A CRS804 came in thru linktechs.net! Ghettorak has 1/2 CRS804's installed.
I bought a cable too short, so waiting on another 2M cable to wire up the top 2 spark's. Waiting on 2nd CRS804 to wire up station.

Same funnel in local AI. Most people judge open models by a 7B they tried a year ago. A 27B on one box today is a different world.
Dusting off this tweet from April because this gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is *widening*. It's now less "two groups of people speaking past each other" and more a sharp funnel.
- Napkin math somewhere around 6B people (~75% of the population) have barely come in contact with LLMs at all.
- Around 1-2B (~20%) are casual and infrequent users of free-tier ChatGPT-like products. This group sees derpy chatbots and treats them a bit like a better Google search, a writing aid, or etc. Maybe an agent tries to book you a flight. I have non-tech friends who (reasonably, imo) say they have not much use for it at all. Even many professionals outside of math&code are in this tier. For example, execs and many other functions spend a lot of their time talking to other people, so while they understand what is happening intellectually, it is still second-hand and a bit abstract.
- Now we get to professional use of frontier-grade LLMs in math&code. Somewhere around 20M people (0.2%) see first-hand that large, complex projects that used to take them weeks/months can now be completed by agents with a prompt. Building apps, copying apps, translating apps, decompiling apps from binaries... This has all happened very quickly and recently - less than 1 year ago, I was writing code manually by hand, typing memorized computer code commands into a code editor character by character, occasionally pressing Tab to autocomplete a little chunk of code.
- And finally we get to the ~5,000 people (~0.00006%) with access to frontier-grade systems internally. The external world has seen the preview. It looks like swarms of thousands of agents collaborating over weeks on software mega projects: minting zero days, running cyber attacks and defenses at machine speeds, discovering new science, advancing the frontier of mathematics. Things that would have taken top professionals in the industry years of work. Meanwhile, human review and comprehension are starting to fall behind. For example, people are still involved in the "archeology" of the OpenAI-HF incident from many months ago. Mathematicians may be poring over the 722 manuscripts on frontier mathematics for a while.
The funnel is driven by a combination of factors:
1. The impact scales with ambition, problem size, and horizon. A question with a paragraph answer barely stresses the system. You need a reservoir of big, difficult problems that you really care about. This aspect drives the consumer / professional dimension of the funnel.
2. The jaggedness of the system (which I have written about a lot separately). Capability peaks in domains that are digital, verifiable and economically valuable. This is because LLM capability emerges from reinforcement learning on verifiable rewards on a curated environment mixture driven by revenue potential. This aspect primarily drives the area (e.g. math&code) dimension of the funnel.
3. Access. Free-tier, paid-tier, internal.
So this is the weirdness of the moment. The general public has mostly not interacted with these systems. When they have, it looks like a derpy chatbot. The majority of professionals still see only a modest uplift. And a small sliver of professionals are experiencing the vertigo of the curve going vertical. And it is all happening at the same time.
Be skeptical of standalone tok/s numbers!
Headline: 690.9 tok/s on two DGX Sparks!
Corrected: 690.9 tok/s on two DGX Sparks (448 streams / 256 token output / 1.5 tok/s per stream)!
Also, 448 streams decoding 256 tokens at 1.5 tok/s is what I would call "benchmark theatrics"
