Coaching elite athletes with a 2x DGX Spark cluster

A cycling and running coach runs client-facing coaching assistance on a small DGX Spark cluster, good enough for national-champion-level clients — at a cost the coach openly questions.

This coach runs a client-facing coaching assistant for a cycling and running side business, calling it good enough to support elite, national-champion-level athletes. The whole thing runs on a 2x DGX Spark cluster plus a Mac Mini. They're upfront that the ROI on that hardware is questionable for what the business actually needs.
