DGX Spark deployment picks: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 from two Sparks up
A blogger's DGX Spark recommendations: one Spark runs Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, while two or more can run DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 (stronger on some tasks) or GLM-5.3-Flash (more consistent), with both performing well on four Sparks.
Here are the BEST models to run on your DGX Sparks Lots of models, lots of combinations you can run, depending on how many sparks you have. But these are MY personal recommendations. ✨ One DGX Spark - have one spark? Don't overthink it. This is THE model to run that will give you the best combination of quality, performance, and KV cache! Qwen3.8-Flash-Next https://mia-ai.net/models/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Single-DGX-Spark-TensorFold ✨ 2x DGX Spark - you can't go wrong with either! DeepSeek is better at some tasks, while GLM is more consistent and nicer to talk to.

Personally, I'd only run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next if I had just one DGX Spark. Two or more? Go with GLM or DeepSeek. See all models here: https://mia-ai.net/models
