Two DGX Sparks as a daily driver, ROI aside

This person knows Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on two DGX Sparks can't match frontier intelligence, and says that's not really the point for them.

Since Qwen 3.8 Flash Next came out, it's been this person's daily driver, running on two DGX Sparks. They're candid it can't compete with top frontier models on raw intelligence, and that the ROI on the hardware is probably questionable — but that's not really what they're optimizing for. What kept the setup worth it, in their words, is that it helped them stay current in a fast-moving field and reignited their interest in the work.
