Can I Run Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B on NVIDIA DGX Spark?
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 21 lipca 2026
Yes. Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B needs 23.8 GB at 8K context (21.1 GB weights + 2.7 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA DGX Spark has 128 GB, leaving about 104.2 GB of headroom, at roughly 71 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 128K of context.

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 128 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the NVIDIA DGX Spark: 8K 23.8 GB · 32K 29.4 GB · 128K 52 GB. Every window this model publishes still fits 128 GB.
What to do next
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
