Training a LoRA with Unsloth on DGX SparkHaving done a long detour through manually reviewing and finessing my training data, this weekend I was finally ready to train the LoRAs for my poster generation project. I have two planned: One to gApr 5 · 13 min readsparktastic.hashnode.dev
Qwen3-VL image analysis using vLLM on DGX SparkI'm at the stage with my poster generation project where I am analysing poster images to create training data. It turns out that vLLM is an excellent inference engine for this use case due to its suppMar 19 · 5 min readsparktastic.hashnode.dev
Setting up a local coding assistant on DGX Spark (4 months and still trying)Coding with a local AI was something I was looking forward to when I bought my DGX Spark. I work alongside an Agentic Engineering specialist, so I’m well aware of how this can accelerate coding (and slow it down, depending on what practices you adopt...Feb 18 · 5 min readsparktastic.hashnode.dev
Alright then...adding vLLM to the mixA few months ago I started using my DGX Spark, and coming in with minimal experience of running local models, I wanted a simple and easy to understand inference engine (as I wrote in this article). Plus I could see the experts on the DGX Spark user g...Feb 14 · 4 min readsparktastic.hashnode.dev
