What the Spark-X2.5-1.7B numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 207.3 output tok/s on an RTX 3060 at IQ4_XS with a 4096-token context. That is about 4.8 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 2.4 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 7951.0 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 0.3 seconds. Peak VRAM was measured at 3.0 GB.

How much VRAM does Spark-X2.5-1.7B need?

Spark-X2.5-1.7B has 2.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
