  • Best LLM for a single DGX Spark: Qwen3.8 Flash Next DeepSWE benchmark results Oct 8, 2026

    Artificial Analysis scores Qwen3.8 Flash Next at 40 on its Intelligence Index. The DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 build I used before scores 34. Every open model that scores higher is 320B+ and needs two or more Sparks at a reasonable quantization.…

  • Can a fast decision model tell a correct patch from a broken one? Oct 4, 2026

    My local DeepSeek V4 Flash run on DeepSWE 1.1 solved 51 of 113 tasks (results). Many of the other 62 missed by a test or two. I wanted to know if a cheap external judge could flag those patches before submission so the agent would keep work…

  • Running DeepSeek V4 Flash across all of DeepSWE on one DGX Spark Sep 13, 2026

    A quantized open-weight model (EXL3 3-bpw) on a single 128 GB DGX Spark ran the entire DeepSWE 1.1 suite at max reasoning: 45% solved, with per-task results and failure analysis.

  • Can a local model on a DGX Spark match a frontier model? A DeepSWE case study Sep 7, 2026

    On a hard DeepSWE task (adding using / await using declarations to the Meriyah JavaScript parser), a local DeepSeek V4 Flash on a single DGX Spark fully solved the task: 49/49 tests, matching frontier GPT-5.6 Terra and ahead of Claude Sonne…
