MiMo-V2.6 Pro 1.02T-A42B on NVIDIA DGX Spark 128 GB

1.0T (42B active) on 128 GB at 273 GB/s. Hardware details · Model details

No calculated fit. MiMo-V2.6 Pro 1.02T-A42B does not fit under standard overhead assumptions at Q4_K_M: the model calculates 615.3 GB required against 105.0 GB usable.

No quantization in our catalogue fits this machine.
Unified LPDDR: the accelerator allocates from the same 128 GB pool as the OS. We assume 82% is available to the inference engine.
Mixture of experts: all 1020B parameters must be resident in memory even though only ~42B are active per token. Memory follows total parameters; speed follows active parameters.

No throughput figures for this configuration. We do not estimate performance for a model that cannot load.
How the estimate is calculated
  1. Decode: reading 42.0B active parameters at 4.85 bits/weight takes 139.19 ms at 273 GB/s x 67% achieved efficiency.
  2. MoE routing penalty of 15% applied: expert gathers are less bandwidth-efficient than a dense sweep.
  3. Prefill: 125 TFLOPS (FP16) x 2 for native FP8 tensor cores x 0.85 calibrated against measured prefill on this platform x 18% assumed model-FLOPs utilisation, divided by 2 x 207.0B parameters per token.
  4. Prefill uses 207.0B effective parameters, not the 42B active in decode: a batch of hundreds of tokens routes across most of the expert pool.

  • MoE decode depends on how well the engine batches expert gathers; real results vary more than for dense models.
  • Prefill throughput is highly engine-dependent. Flash attention, batch size and quantized KV all move this number substantially, and for sparse mixture-of-experts models it is the least reliable figure we produce.
  • This is a calculated estimate, not a measurement. It assumes a single request, a short prompt, no speculative decoding and a warm model already resident in memory.

The $100 comparison uses the Codex Pro 5x / Claude Max 5x plans. A fixed planning conversion is used for USD. This compares monthly spend only: subscriptions have usage limits, local hardware has different capabilities and constraints, and taxes or regional pricing may change the charged amount. Prices checked 7 September 2026.

Purchase-price input: $3,873 in United States (federal), tax/VAT excluded · estimated · NVIDIA / partner resellers (converted catalogue estimate). This is the localized purchase input; the after-tax economic cost is calculated separately below.

Money that leaves the bank account on day one, net of reclaimable VAT.
Accounting depreciation

$3,408 written down over 5 years to a $465 residual.
After-tax economic cost
$51.52/month
Depreciation plus running costs plus cost of capital, less the tax those deductions save. This is the figure to compare between machines.
