Nuff said, are there any MLheads in the forum and potential insights on picking this up instead of a Mac Studio ?
Got a tip for us?

Anyone Getting the DGX Spark ?

At 4,000 dollars? I don't have an AI need, though I find it interesting, but its not something I'm tempted by
Still early-days. It's a spiffy little machine.
Had the Reserve for the dual-unit, but release day happened without a whisper, so I bought mine from MC.
I really haven't had the opportunity to run it through proper loops.
My M2 Max Studio is still extremely performant . . . I am waiting for M5/6 Studio Max/Ultra before I think about replacing it.
@splifingate mind sharing your workflow ? I have the invoice drafted for two, still on the edge after the reviews outlining weak inference.
As of yet, I don't have a 'workflow': this is just a learning (to understand the mechanisms and paradigms) machine for me.
Initially, I had decided on getting two DGX's (rather than investing in a RTX Pro 6000).
Though I am missing-out on the higher-end networking features (and by-virtue, all the aspects of learning available in this space) by going solo, I have concluded that one is enough for me to learn the majority of what I thought I might need to know.
Depending on your previous experience(s), you may find that the DGX is not gana pull-ahead in inference. Think of it as a whole-package learning machine that excels at more baseline levels. While not particularly exemplary in one (or another) area, it provides a well-rounded, performant environment.
For these (and a few more) I have decided to let my dual-setup reservation lapse.
I can always get another (or more/other), in the future

Thank you for sharing. I feel more at ease letting the reservation lapse when reading the you did the same. Saving up for the M5 studio and getting the DGX next calendar year then.
Yes; already using the DGX (on my desk), I shed absolutely no grief when the "Exciting news—the NVIDIA DGX Spark Bundle you reserved (Reservation #17xxx) is now available for purchase." email arrived.
Part of the excitement was that I would have these items in my hand(s) before general release.
Ultimately, I don't really GAS. The lack of promptness is, however, telling.
You may not really need the DGX, but the CUDA integration might tip that scale
Full-Stack seemed important for my introduction into the Arena. I may have more to share after I find the space to work with it more.

I have a few things I want to achieve with VLMS and point clouds, we'll see when I get to it. The to-do list is daunting.
Would love to hear more from your experience.
I'm currently teaching FT, working-through my MAT, and being the GC for my house reno(s) . . . this leaves little time for my inner geek to get out
I will share what I can (when I can).

No worries, life is a trip. Good luck on whatever endeavors hide behind the acronyms.
