I'm utterly shocked at the article saying GPU inference (PyTorch/Transformers)isn't working. Numerical instability produces bad outputs, Not viable for real-time serving, Wait for driver/CUDA updates!

My job just got me and our entire team a DGX spark. I'm impressed at the ease of use for ollama models I couldn't run on my laptop. gpt-oss:120b is shockingly better than what I thought it would be from running the 20b model on my laptop.

The DGX has changed my mind about the future being small specialized models.

Totally agree. I’ve been training nanochat models all morning. Hit some speed bumps. I’ll share more later in another article. Buts it’s absolutely amazing. I fine tuned a Gemma3 model in a day yesterday.

Are you shocked because that isn't your experience?

From the article it sounds like ollama runs cpu inference not GPU inference. Is that the case for you?
