What it can run

Estimate

Popular models at Q4_K_M with a 32K-token context. Memory needed from real model files; speed is the theoretical ceiling.

Theoretical maximum for generating text: memory bandwidth divided by the bytes read per token. Real runs usually reach about half to three quarters of it.

Where to buy

Prices are editorial references (launch price and a typical street price on the date shown), not live prices. In 2026 the memory shortage has pushed many prices well above launch.

Prices are shown only if updated in the last 24 hours and may change; the retailer’s price at checkout applies. We may earn a commission from these links at no cost to you. Affiliate disclosure

Overview

Editorial opinion

Best for: Robotics and physical-AI projects; a GB10 box is the better home LLM server.

Editorial opinionWould we buy it today?

For robotics. For LLMs alone, a DGX Spark or Strix Halo box costs less.

Pros and cons

Editorial opinion

Pros

  • 128 GB with CUDA at 130 W
  • Built for robots and sensors

Cons

  • Expensive after the 2026 price rise
  • JetPack instead of a normal desktop setup
