I Bought the GPU Anyway
I bought Andromeda, a DGX Spark, to fine-tune models — but first I owed my last post a rematch. I re-ran the same local/free/paid LLM inference benchmark on 120 GB of Grace-Blackwell instead of a CPU NUC. It fixes the one thing the NUC got fatally wrong, hits a bandwidth ceiling I didn't see coming, and makes clear why the real reason I bought it isn't inference at all.
