Run frontier open-weight models privately on NVIDIA DGX Spark.

SparkLab is developed by SixteenMiles Labs, a research lab under Oakmind AI.

SparkLab is a GB10-native inference product for local, single-system deployments. It combines immutable model recipes, unified-memory admission, resumable checkpoint acquisition, FTW preparation, NVMe-backed MoE execution, and OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs.

Supported production target

SparkLab deliberately supports one narrow hardware profile:

  • NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip (SM121)
  • 128 GB coherent unified memory
  • ARM64 Linux or DGX OS
  • NVIDIA driver r580 or newer and CUDA 13 toolkit
  • Local NVMe storage for checkpoints, FTW artifacts, and disk-backed experts
  • One local DGX Spark; multi-node and high-concurrency serving are outside the Beta scope

Platform, memory, swap, dependency, and storage requirements fail closed before a recipe launch. Unsupported hardware may still work through native runtime fallbacks, but it is not a SparkLab support claim.

Why SparkLab

  • GB10 admission: sparklab doctor validates architecture, CUDA, unified memory, swap, dependencies, NVMe backing, and free capacity with human and JSON output.
  • Immutable recipes: acquisition pins model revisions, records manifests, validates prepared artifacts, and rejects mismatched provenance.
  • Unified-memory planning: runtime admission budgets weights, expert cache, KV and recurrent state, workspaces, and an operating-system reserve without counting swap as capacity.
  • Frontier models beyond memory: FTW expert banks and bounded NVMe-backed caching let selected MoE checkpoints exceed physical memory.
  • Stable local APIs: OpenAI Chat Completions, Responses, and Anthropic Messages share one loopback endpoint with streaming, reasoning, and tool-call support.
  • Evidence-bound claims: model status and performance point to versioned, complete-checkpoint GB10 records rather than inferred capability.

Status meanings:

  • Experimental: implementation or measured evidence exists, but required gates remain incomplete or failed.
  • Preview: a bounded supported path exists, but the full release promise is incomplete.
  • Certified: the exact recipe, revision, artifact, and release environment passed all required correctness, parser, agent, context, latency, memory, NVMe, and endurance gates.

Run sparklab models --json for exact recipe versions, checkpoint revisions, artifact fingerprints, implementation state, evidence IDs, and known constraints.
