I purchased my Spark back in March before the RAM price increase. My use case is local self-sovereign AI in Healthcare (https://hcvc.net), so I haven't done any gaming. Its been a great driver for Hermes Agent, serving local MoE and dense models up to 122B. It now handles about 90% of my inference load (more complex devops/coding tasks are still routed to cloud). LoRa works well. All my models are open source. There is no NVIDIA dependency in my build. Its also a backend server for my PoC app (https://proforta.com). Zero issues so far. Extremely reliable and gives me straight path to production for VPS deployment.
