Nemotron 3.5 Lightning was released with native support for MTP, DFlash and DSpark. We recommend DSpark on DGX Spark. Here is the full vLLM configuration for DGX Spark with DSpark so you can run it yourself: vllm serve \ nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4 \ --served-model-name nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4 \ --trust-remote-code \ --moe-backend marlin \ --kv-cache-dtype fp8 \ --max-model-len 262144 \ --max-num-batched-tokens 16384 \ --quantization modelopt_fp4 \ --mamba-backend flashinfer \ --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype float16 \ --enable-mamba-cache-stochastic-rounding \ --mamba-cache-philox-rounds 5 \ --enable-prefix-caching \ --mamba-cache-mode align \ --speculative-config '{ "model": "nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4-DSpark", "method": "dspark", "num_speculative_tokens": 7 }' vllm image: vllm/vllm-openai:nightly-7794b1e08bf505ff28664515ffaaeeec955ab796
- mixture-of-experts — A model built from many specialist sub-networks where only a few activate per token, giving big-model capability at small-model running cost.
- KV cache — The memory a model keeps about text it has already read, so generating each new token doesn't require reprocessing the whole conversation.
- context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
Anyone standing up this model locally can copy a known-good serving configuration instead of rediscovering the flag combination.
