Got 2x DGX Sparks. Excited and confused!

I started looking into recipes for GLM 5.3 flash but surprisingly there is very little chatter about that in this sub.

Key points

  • It was difficult purchase in this economy but paid only roughly $6100 equivalent for each in my country.
  • I justified the purchase for learning (so I try to convince myself) and coding workflow improvements.
  • The information seem to be scattered and difficult to find.
  • Is the Nvidia forums the best forum to keep updated?
