"Laguna S 2.1 performance on a single DGX Spark. Prefill 600-800 tok/s decode is around 15 tok/s on prose and 22-24 on code. Without speculation, decode sits at 13-14 tok/s on every engine we tried on the GB10, which is the memory-bandwidth ceiling for this model." Post date: not visible in index; corroborates the NVIDIA-forum numbers.
"the results are in. two 128gb boxes on my desk, the nvidia dgx spark and the amd strix halo... ran them head to head on the exact same model..." (Snapshot id 2066935217194250356 — Spark vs Strix Halo head-to-head.)
"a week with the dgx spark, here is what is on it and what i have measured so far... nvidia gb10 sm_121, 124 gb unified lpddr5x at 273 gb/s, cuda 13.0..."

Key dated receipts (all BEFORE r0b0tlab's 2026-07-22T02:21Z creation):
- vr8vr8, 2026-07-21T18:57:30Z: "go for num_speculative_tokens = 7. I managed to get speed around 40-50 tokens/s" ← K=7 is community-first.
- vr8vr8, 2026-07-21T19:14:18Z: c=2 + K=7 results on the eugr-derived recipe (bilikaz/spark-vllm-docker branch feat/laguna-s-2.1-nvfp4).
- clawdiusmaximus, 2026-07-21T22:17:23Z: with the HF card's 15 spec tokens, "draft acceptance was consistently 0-15%... 6-15 were always at 0.0" ← the reduce-K-below-15 insight, community-first.
- serapis (OP), 2026-07-21T18:32:17Z: DFlash acceptance ~8% on release config.
Poolside released Laguna S 2.1 on 2026-07-21 (MarkTechPost coverage dated 2026-07-21; forum thread same day). The entire tuning conversation—including r0b0tlab's repo—is release-week work.
